Eh, I have to say it's a mixed answer for me. I think as a writing form it's a good exercise to keep away writers block or if you just want to do something with ficcage however my best writing is always my original stuff since I'm not constrained by the rules of the original material. But I do enjoy fanfiction quite a bit now and then when I'm on a lark. *Facepalms, that was a ditzy sounding statement I think to myself*
I both write it and read it, mainly I've written for video games. FFX/FFX-2, Baten Kaitos and I'm considering writing a piece for Digital Devil Saga. The only problem I really have with reading it is that finding the REALLY good ones is like swimming through a cesspool of ick half the time.
Me? I'm strictly slash, it doesn't have to be anything more than inferred, but just slash for me. Heterosexual ficcage just gives me the willies and too often I've come across people who Mary Sue the female charas. Not that people don't Mary Sue the slash charas either, because I just die whenever I see something like an X fanfic where Kamui is jumping into bed with every guy in the series or crying his eyes out like a little girl.
I'm sort of indifferent about lemons at this point. They're nice now and then, and I do read them and have written some slashy lemony goodness but it doesn't hold that much interest for me. Usually because it just serves to distract from the plot (if there is a plot to begin with, so many of them go down the dreaded road of PWP). But as I said, they're nice now and then.. Of course just like normal fanfiction that's a whole separate cesspool all on it's own rooting out the better written lemons from the ones that are just plain skanky.
For me, I'm not one way or the other about fanon or canon, since the only one who can TRULY dictate canon is the one who created the series, movie, book, etc.. I say if it's well written that's the main thing. I think my only exception to the rule is the fact that I nearly have an ulcer if I even see that someone has put up an FFX-2 fic pairing Nooj and Leblanc... It just makes my stomach churn and if the people really bothered to look at the game there was no chemistry there, Leblanc was a stalker and unless the rules have changed then stalking does not equal reciprocal love. *gets down off of my FFX-2 soapbox*
So that's about it for me.
