For what it's worth, my first true love I met on a Pokemon message board. He was a writer, and he had written the most beautiful fanfiction Pokemon story, and I still believe that to this day. You can find it plagiarized all over the internet from here and back, never with his name attached. I don't think fanfiction is illegitimate or means that someone isn't a real writer, by any means.
