I really hope you do, because this is a crucial point:

FanLib seeks to pull fanfic out of that context and into a new, commercial, value-exchange-based context. I'm not saying such a feat is impossible. But FanLib will have an extremely hard time succeeding unless it *really* understands that it is essentially proposing to fix something that was never broken. To the vast majority of fans, you are attempting to bring our product, fanfic, to fruition, when to us, it's already been brung.

We write because we love a show/book/comic etc. The work (and of course feedback, which is horribly addictive) is its own reward.
