So here's the thing, I've never written fan fiction, but some of it I've enjoyed the hell out of (HPMOR).

I think sometimes it is very freeing and worthwhile to spew out garbage. Sometimes you find out when you look at it later it really isn't all as garbage as you thought it was, and that maybe like 25% of it is good enough you'd want to keep it and rework it. I am absolutely a defender and supporter and participator in garbage writing. I call it "vomiting on the page."
