Serious Fanfiction. By that I mean fanfiction that I am proud to post somewhere. I fancy myself as a writer, and I simply am ashamed at the fanfiction community. I have to post my work under a pseudonym because of freaks on fanfiction.net and other sites making so much crossover slash that it is unhealthy to my future as a writer.
What I consider serious fanfiction is a group of people that expand my knowledge, and expand my skill level, and be something that furthers my career. Old time fanfic DID that. Then,.. it became open. Anyone who couldn't draw or sing decided they could write. And they did. And it was HORRID. Add to it fanfiction.net and how horrible it is.. and it all just falls apart.
There's no real point to writing fanfic when almost all the serious writers outwardly think that fanfic=loser.

That's because of this community.
