I don't really write fanfiction anymore, but I still read it when I find good stuff. Usually I have to wait for people to rec it to me because I don't care enough to go hunting for it myself.
I do plan to start writing fanfiction again, when I get around to it. My main problem is that I feel I have to know every little detail of canon before I get started. If I don't know the source material REALLY, REALLY, REALLY well, I feel like I can't write good fanfic and I don't bother.
I prefer to write original fiction. I have more freedom and I don't feel like it's something I have to hide from my friends and family.
As for reading original fiction ONLINE, I usually don't, but not for lack of trying. There's just as much crap as there is in fanfiction, but there aren't as many people who bother to put together rec lists about which fics are worth reading.
Anyone know a good original fiction rec list?

I write mostly original fiction, but I do love sitting down with a good fanfiction and getting engrossed in it. That helps me feel more for the setting and the characters than I may have originally felt.

I love writing both original and fanfiction.
Or writing an original and changing the names to fanfiction (if it works).
I write fanfiction so that I can create scenes or extra subplot's that I would really have loved to have had in the original.
My problem with originals is a have alot of lead up to nothing or someone always kills my plotbunnies halfway through a story and my creativity is wasted.
I can't do plot crying
Both are good but I do have an obsession with certain HP pairings that aren't gonna happen in the book so I turn to fans for pairing satisfaction.

The good thing with fanfiction is that when you need a break from struggling through your own story, you can dabble in a world already created and write a plot line you think they really should have put in.
I'm a ficcie writer because my own characters never seem to flow together well. I can put them into fandom and they work though, oddly enough, not as main characters but often needed linking people. Don't ask me why, but I work better that way, especially with characters I know extremely well.

I write and read both. I write and read fanfiction when I don't have enough time to develop a set of characters, etc, and I read it when I don't have enough time to get into a whole mess of story. I write original most often though.
Both have their qualities, positive and negative. It would be a little ignorant to say one is worthless. 3nodding
