I don't usually post to the group beyond fictional items, but I
think I'll rant a little here. I hope it's organized. ^_^;

Ah, a fine rant, sir.  It was a veritable beacon, lighting the way 
towards a finer understanding of this topic.

It was written by the immortal Twoflower.  What did you expect? ;)

Now, who's this Pratchett guy?

Hm, don't know about Pratchett; I've always admired Weis and 
Hickman, and Robert Jordan.  I also look up to Doenime/Loader, 
Perry, Lawson, Gagne, Biles, RpM, and a host of other great 
fanfic writers.  Maybe it's just because they, unlike me, can 
actually *finish* a story; I dunno. ;)

Wakatta, Hunter-san.  To tell you the truth, more often than not, I'll go
ahead and pick a completed series over one that's just beginning any day.
 It's completely unfair, but logical.  I mean, why go and start something
that has the chance of never being finished when you can read a series
from start to finish?  Not to single ANYONE out, but it's just annoying
to get caught up in a fic and realize the author hasn't written addition
parts to it in over half a year.  That's one sure way of turning a
potential reader off of your work big time.  Anyway, that's my rant for
the day.  Ja.
