     Fanfic is not competition. I read what interests me--and the profic ain't interesting, at least not anymore. (Except books with Vulcans. Lots かつ lots of Vulcans. I like Vulcans. You put out anything with Vulcans, かつ I'm likely to buy it, even if I read negative reviews of it. I love Vulcans.) Point is, I haven't chosen fanfic *over* profic.

     BTW: there are some profics that I enjoy, but most of them I wonder if the author knows anything about TOS!!!! And I extend that to Bill Shatner's post-Nexus stories - there are some lovely moments, but I really don't care for his Kirk, Spock, and McCoy many times.
