I skipped a story that had a Sue paired with Semus in it because while it had over nine thousand words, it also lacked substance of any kind. And it is a one-shot. That reminds me, don't forget about the contest. :D

Apparently your comment went through a spam filter because you added a link and I just realized it was still under the filter, so I will let Yemi know about your comment. I don't appreciate the fact you're misquoting Wikipedia like that though. It should read...

"Fan fiction, or fanfiction (often abbreviated as fan fic, fanfic, or simply fic), is a broadly defined fan labor term for stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or authorized by the original work's owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Due to these works' not being published, stories often contain a disclaimer stating that the creator of the work owns none of the original characters. Fan fiction is defined by being both related to its subject's canonical fictional universe and simultaneously existing outside the canon of that universe.[1] Most fan fiction writers assume that their work is read primarily by other fans, and therefore tend to presume that their readers have knowledge of the canon universe (created by a professional writer) in which their works are based."

" 'Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couch-bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.' -Lev Grossman, TIME, July 07, 2011"

Thank you for letting me know about this. I'll put my comment about the quote they used from Wikipedia here.

Their argument is based around their blatant misinterpretation of the quote from Lev Grossman. They took his quote to mean that fanfiction is simply the reinventing of the original work, when what he said was that what constituted literature would be reinvented because the only way fans could get the next part is to write it themselves.
