This made me think I read this secret wrong. I thought they were talking about original erotica vs. fan fiction erotica, because I had the same experience with it. The writing in mainstream erotica is boring and the stories are horrible, and all the good fan fiction I've read over the years (while having to wade through the bad) has left me no patiences for sub par stories.

Interesting. I have also read a few original erotica stories written by former fanfiction writers and also found them very disappointing compared to their fanfiction output, but I attribute this to the fact that some fanffic writers underestimate how much easier fanfiction is compared to original writing.

With original stories, you need to make the reader care about the story and your characters. This is much harder than most realize, because with fanfiction, you have a captive audience of fans who are already predisposed to like the characters and the general premise of their backstory and interaction (otherwise we would not bother finding fanfiction written about them, would we?) And fan is short for fanatic, meaning we are already fanatics when it comes to our liking of these characters and are likely to forgive a lot simply because we just want more of them (be it typos, bad grammar, sub-standard story telling etc. Ack!) So when we find a decent story written by a decent author, we are over the moon and lose our perspective...
