Fanfiction - Good or Evil?
Betty:
I think some fan fan ficton sites are excellent. But I may be a little biased, for several years I belonged to my friend's fan fiction site. I wrote articles, stories,reviewed stories and even did a little editing as well. My friend expected quality, and rewrites of slated stories was the norm. So I guess it depends on which fan fiction site you visit and how talented and creative the writers there are.
Fade:
im sorry if i offend you... but i have never gone on a website with fan fiction and left happy :-\
it sucks...honestly sucks
Sil76:
Good sites are hard to find; a lot of the really good ones (quality fic & friendly atmosphere) are often specific to a single fandom.
Don't bother with ff.net, they have no standards; if slash isn't your thing, the field of available quality sites is even narrower.
Open Scrolls (scribeoz.com) is good (and all het), and just opened up from an LotR-only to multi-fandom (including Firefly, DrWho and other v. good shows); they are open to new writers but have standards, and guests can read all but the NC17 stuff ;D

Then maybe you are browsing in the wrong categories? I don't think my stories particularly suck...and I've been told they are well-written--barring a few typos here and there. I have no idea where you are looking or what fandoms you're browsing, but there are good stories out there.

FF.net may not have standards...but you can find some of the best plot-driven stories there...you just have to look.
