It's more that I would never have read those fanfics if they weren't free. Because I don't regret reading fanfics (even though my family, all of whom are readers, think fanfics are junk), I don't want fanfics to be lost. And I feel that putting a paywall, will prevent people like me from ever getting into fanfics (and my family cheers). I have the same mixed feelings. Some fanfic authors, I would pay in a heartbeat to read their next work and I think they should "gradauate" to the next step and make money off their talent on their way to getting a real book deal. Other fanfic authors need more work perfecting their craft and I'm happy to be their test audience because I can see the potential. Those ones should remain free.

I hope this is not the end of fanfiction as we know it.
