Ours doesn't seem to be a popular opinion... but for what it's worth, I agree with you, OP. As someone who used to write fanfiction and who is now editing a novel I wrote, there is a HUGE difference between writing and posting a fanfiction or even an original story on the Internet, and actually going through the process of getting your work ready for traditional publishing.

I have spent the last three years working on my story. In order to get it published, which I ultimately want to do, I have to edit it (probably more than once), try to get an agent, and providing I eventually get an agent (which could take years or may never happen), we then have to sell it to a publisher. Even if it's sold to a publisher, it's not 100% guaranteed the book is going to be successful.

So... maybe I'm looking a little too hard through my serious-writer goggles right now, and maybe this is going to sound a bit pretentious to a lot of people who've commented... but yeah, I kind of feel like actually trying to get something published, in the traditional sense of the word, generally involves a lot more work than writing and posting a fanfic. Not by any means saying that writing fanfic is somehow inferior to writing original stories, but yeah, I can kind of see the OP's point here. Trying to get a book published is a HUGE commitment and a much bigger amount of work and time than many people think it is. It's not just writing a book and immediately sending it to a publisher. I personally don't mind THAT much when someone says "published" in regards to an online work, but I can see how it could offend some people that something that can take years and years of hard work and dedication is often equated to, like, one-shots that took three hours to post.
