Ugh, don't remind me of the wetbitch!Will stories. That was the single best thing that came out of DMC, was the dramatic drop in those (of course, he was immediately replaced by oppressor!Will, but at least the guy has a backbone).
I think fanfic is not given academic credence - no matter what orientation it is - because it's taking other people's characters without permission and doing things with them, and that's a big literary no-no ... sort of how I get worked up with RPS because it takes people's identities for the same reason. Which ... honestly, I don't care, because as much as I like some of the stuff I've written (yeah, I'm immodest), if LJ crashed tomorrow and I lost it, it wouldn't hurt me the way losing an original story has, due to HD crashes.
