I have no comment...

So I was reading this article on fanfic , which—unlike a lot of articles I’ve seen on the subject—treated it as something that’s not only an unfairly maligned pastime but a worthy one. Now, I can’t say I was all that pleased with the vaunting of some of what I consider poorly-written… stuff, and the use of it as examples as to why fanfic may have some value, but it seems the only time something can be considered valuable is when someone makes money from it, so what are you going to do.
