I love this article! I really agree with the idea that writing fanfiction helps aid writers in improving their style and general talent at writing. I love reading fan fictions. I have read some excellent ones, all sorts of genres in Harry Potter (except for mpreg, I hate mpreg fics, sorry, lol!) and not to advertise *cough* Draco Dormiens, Veritas, or Sinister *cough* excellent authors *cough* Cassandra Claire *cough* blatantly, or anything, but I really suggest reading a few of the more popular ones if you haven't already. I think ya'll will learn to love reading the writing of fanfics by fellow fans out there.
