And those prices others listed are precisely why I hope fanfiction is never bought. I can't afford $50-$100 for someone to write a fanfic story. Hell, I was debating buying the $7 book I bought today, and that was with a gift card! I like that fanfic is an open free for all of people just having fun and that I can find things (not a lot, as I tend to prefer female characters to male and femslash to slash, but enough) that I enjoy without having to pay from my nonexistent funds.
