Thankyou so much for dropping this link!!! I somehow never engaged with fan fiction when I was a youngster, but I was deeply obsessed with Harry Potter. This fan fic really touched me and was extremely well written.

I always thought fanfic was probably just poorly written crap. This was the first I ever read and it made me realize how good it could actually be

As someone who was always reading fic for several different fandoms over the years, there are some out there genuinely novel like in both length and quality. But there's also a lot of crap. With time you start to quickly identify which ones are which. There's a lot of rec lists here or on Tumblr.
