Well, I can understand that, but please explain one little thing to me: Why is there an 'Original Fiction' folder? There are still general fanfic sites around.
Because Original Fiction is just that: fiction not based on any fandom at all. All original characters, original worlds, original ideas (if there any left in the world). Sure, there are general fiction sites on the 'net, but most fiction sites are based on one (or more) fandoms.
Original Fiction was created as an outlet for writers to showcase original work. We've had a few published authors come out of the fandom, and it's a nice and encouraging place for other authors to hone their work.
