It's a weird progression, getting into fanfic, isn't it?
When I first get into something, I try everything I can my hands on... any pairing, any length, any authors, WIPs, whatever.
And then in the end I find that there's a short list of authors who I'll read, and only if the stories are finished, and only if they're about a certain character....
It's nice to be able to KNOW that you're not going to be wasting your time. But that initial stage is fun, too--you're so into something that you'll frantically consume anything in your quest for more. :)
I still remember, waaaaaaaay back in the day, some of the hideously bad Spuffy fics I read to fulfill my Spike cravings. Stuff I wouldn't touch now with a 10-foot pole. But it was fun at the time....
