I started buying real books again a few months ago, because I was traveling, too cheap to buy a decent-sized e-reader, and hate squinting at my smart phone's e-book app.

And I've discovered that I've been reading some really, really excellent fan-fic authors, because when I read "real" fiction -- published, by authors whose names I recognize and have enjoyed before -- I find myself thinking things like: "Who edited this crap? Spell-check is not always your friend!" and, "There are plot holes here you could drive a Mac truck through!" and, "Ummm, where's the tension; wasn't this a murder mystery?" and, "Time-line: make one next time!" and, "UST - this is not the way you write it," and "Whoops, somebody's been surfing TV Tropes again."

So, OP, fret not. You may actually be getting the better end of the deal now.

Those are the advantages to fanfiction: They're not wrapped in plastic to keep you from checking the quality before you plunge in, and you can see reviews right next to them to see what others think, instead of maybe a few blurbs from who knows who praising the book in very a vague manner, that at all.
