Oh, I don't doubt it. And I'd say, back when J/W was going strong after CotBP but before the sequels were announced, that the vast majority of what I read fell into the wet!bitch!Will category. And much like the teenage!pwincess!Lizzie we began seeing a lot of after DMC, I like to think that most of those authors were young AND/OR not taking the canon material very seriously. I suspect they were all self-insertions. (But I'm too damn lazy busy to take a serious look at it.)
Really, honestly good fic - in any category (slash, het, etc) - tends to be rare. That's why so many activists (like "dissenter") and so many academics (that I'm surrounded by at the college) refuse to give it any credence. They will invariably point at that one measly little Mary Tyler Moore Characterization... :-p
