Agree with your overall sentiment, but if fanfic really were a personal, fun, just-for-the-author kind of thing, they would just not post it.

It's like getting a tattoo that you say is really personal and deep and meaningful and just for you: if that's completely true, you're going to get it someplace where it really never shoes except in the most intimate situations. But once you stick it on your arm or someplace that will otherwise easily show, well, that claim is a bit undermined.

You put a creative endeavor out for the world to look at, people are going to look. And judge. And otherwise have opinions, that go beyond anything the creator can control. Don't want that, don't share publicly.

And personally I like to believe in a world where trying your best and putting effort and pride into something you create isn't an arduous "job" that spoils all the fun, but eh, that's why we end up with 90% of everything as crap.

MTE. As a writer, my most rewarding experiences involved working on fics that took research, effort, and a lot of thought to craft. Sure, it's harder than tossing off a quickie fic, but it's also much more fulfilling.
