Hello all,

A gentleman by the name of Steve Darlington, who frequents the role-playing 
game forum where I lurk, has recently published an article on the crimes 
perpetrated by bad fan fiction. It's at a website called Fandomlife. Here's a 
link for it:

 <A HREF="http://www.fandomlife.net/A55840/fln.nsf/all/3A61B398A534C2FA80256B420081FB3A?OpenDocument">Fandomlife.net - the ezine of scifi media and fandom culture.</A> 

It's called Crimes of the Heart: Why Fan Fiction Sucks. It covers fan fiction 
in general, not any particular subset such as anime, but I've read it and 
find it interesting enough to let the list know about it. Despite the title 
it is not a condemnation of fan fiction: Steve writes Buffy the Vampire 
Slayer fics, so he has some experience and insight.   

Thanks for your time and tolerance,

Jeremy Harper
