I could not have said it better. Fanfiction is not without it's efforts, but it is in NO WAY harder than creating an original piece of work.

That fear that you talk about is exactly why I've only shared my original creations with a choice few friends and may never venture to publish them or even air them to general viewing on my friendslist.

It takes a lot of guts! It takes a lot of WORK. It's... no one cares is, I think, the worst part. At least in fanfiction people really do care. People want to read about characters they already love, they want to enjoy more. As expressed by the fact that I get FAR MORE comments on my fanfiction than my original work despite the fact that I put more love and effort and hopefully good writing into the original stuff.

Doesnht' mean I haven't spent hours angsting over fanfiction! Doesn't mean I don't find it more pleasant to work on original work. But. Is in no way less effort.
