Re: Fandom secrets you can't be bothered to make

I am honestly not sure how you're defining "amazing" here - perhaps works you enjoy, which, if you're specifically set on a character/pairing, would probably indeed make it easier to find something you enjoy reading more frequently in the fanfic world than in original works. But the odds of you finding a terrible fanfic and a terrible book are not the same, and it's a little silly to pretend they are.

I define 'amazing' as a work that makes me react, either laughing out loud, becoming tense and flaily because of the action, or actually ugly sobbing at my desk. I have encountered that in fanfic - some of it in fandoms i don't even care about, but I trusted the author. Some of it 'fanfic' only by the definition of 'works based on myths' (like Greek and Roman characters, historical settings, etc.)

I have read books that affected me that way, too, but on the whole - those books were written by a single author (for instance, i often find myself reacting in one of those ways to CJ Cherryh's books). Same with fanfic. There's a lot of fun, interesting, good fanfic out there, but only a few authors can make me bite my nails or sniffle into my keyboard.

I would say the odds of finding those authors/stories are the same, pro-fic and fan-fic wise. Because 95 percent of the profic i have read did *not* draw those reactions from me, and i generally only read those stories once.

The ones that make me react? I read over and over, pro-and-fanfic alike.

In my experience, the percentages are pretty much the same.
