I find this interesting, because I'm the exact opposite. I find most fanfiction pretty boring and repetitive, and the writers' styles all seem to blend together so I rarely read it. I tend to think of fanfiction as a very incestuous genre lol.

On the other hand, while I am sifting through a lot of mediocre titles in published sci-fi and fantasy, I'm far more often blown away by a book that's both unique and has the level of inclusiveness/diversity I want.

Then again, I know I have weird taste. All the fanfics I tend to like are action/adventure over 10,000 words and those don't seem nearly as popular as everything else (based on the fandoms I peruse) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FWIW, I agree completely, and yet I'm suffering OP's problem. Fic is very much a guilty pleasure thing for me; I read it for the same comfort that I can re-read my favourite novels over and over again. It's predictable as all hell and it's frequently trash, but the familiarity and already established love of the universe and the characters just pulls me in so much quicker than your average novel does.

ayrt

I can understand that. I used to feel the same way (I think...? lol). To me it's kind of like "Fiction Reading Explorer" vs. "Fiction Reading Hobbit". Also, it really doesn't help that it takes a damn lot of research to find books that you know will be up your alley. Spending money on something only to discover it's trash is incredibly frustrating. Fanfic is a much less risky endeavour.
(wow I'm blathering tonight. Sorry XD)
