I hope this poll will be peaceful. I'll post my thoughts later (they are leaning to the negative side though...)

I love reading them as long they aren't too OOC :-X
And I like writing them, I'm in the middle of writing 3 and I've been requested to write 3 others ^^''

None of these really fit my opinion.

Option 1: Writing fanfic isn't a waste of time at all. It's a hobby, and can be a good tool to help you improve you writing abilities and get insight into what other people do and don't like about your writing.
Option 2: Again, it's a hobby. Not a waste of time.
Option 3: I do like them, even if I don't read them.
Option 4: Not true.
Option 5: Also not true. I've read some amazing, professional-quality fanfics before.
Option 6: There's nothing wrong with them, and I don't like the negative connotation of the "but" here. :P
Option 7: I don't read them anymore.
Option 8: I don't write them anymore.
Option 9: False.
Option 10: OOCness drives me insane unless it's a plot device. :P

I like reading fanfics if they're good. I don't if they're bad. So, pretty much the same as I react to nonfanfiction writings. :P

My fanfiction.net account has been gathering dust for the past few years, but I used to love writing them and probably would again if I had time.

I love writing them and I'd probably love reading them if they're in character and I actually had time to do so D:

I'm actually writing one right now :X

Love writing them. I do it all the time! :3 It lets me show exactly what I want to happen in a series! ;D

Reading them? Love it. x3
Definition of AyuCon:
An underrated couple overthrown by a mass of overrated couples in a world of fangirls/boys who like stoic characters and Mary-Sues.

Best thing ever- better than ice tea on a hot day or ice cream cake at a B-Day party.

I generally don't give them the time of day at all.  Only one I gave a shot, and it was awesome (Ilya route for Fate/Stay Night), but it stopped like a third or fourth of the way through.

I love writing them and I really love reading good ones, too. Some people do really interesting things with fanfic and explore really interesting characters and possibilities. Of course, some people fail utterly. But the 10% is so worth it.
