I don't think I'll ever understand the "I'm not writing this for publication, so I'm not gonna work as hard on this as I would on a story that I'd get paid for" attitude. You're putting it out on the Net. That is publication. What the fuck kind of writer writes for money?

Nothing wrong with being honest and admitting it.
But, I do agree with what you said about people not putting the effort in if there's no money in it. In all the arts you do have to work for free a lot at the beginning, and it's a good idea to continue to do so from time to time when you eventually do start getting paid. You just have to do the best job you can.

But yeah, that was my point. :) The "It's just fanfic" attitude has always irked me. Whatever the nature/genre/tone of your story, you should always put the same amount of effort into telling it. "It's just lt;whatever>" shows a real disregard for your own story as well as for the audience of said story.
