These writers obviously aren't professionals, but they have characters in their heads, and they want to tell stories. Who's to say they are any lesser, as storytellers, than this year's Booker Prize nominees? Most sane people, of course. It's a long way down the myth-slide from Beowulf to Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Still, fan fiction authors are perpetuating their characters, extending their universe, and they are damn serious.
