Fanfiction For Grownups-THE END?

[puddlemereunited at yahoo.co.uk]

I'm afraid this discussion is not really going anywhere at the moment.  
Everyone has been kind enough to recommend many fics and sites, This 
is based on the erroneous assumption that I am new to Fanfiction and 
have not already read these stories.  In fact, I have read most of 
these stories... I would say 90% of them. 
I think I will have to agree with Punkie that the best thing for me to 
do is go to a real bookshop and buy a real book.
Before coming to post I stopped over at Fanfiction.net and did a 
search for HP.  Of the first 10 stories to appear 8 were either Mary 
Sues, Plotless Slash, and Mindless Fluff (I read them to make sure).  
80% is a majority.
I thank you all for your input and suggestions, but my impression of 
the state of Fanfiction has not changed.  I will go on reading and 
writing it, but I can see that there is little point in talking about 
it, as it comes down to a matter of taste.
