I quite agree, and I also find it ironic that the demographic I can most easily see Fanlib drawing in (eg the young writers who mostly archive on ff.net and do not see the difference between that and Fanlib) is exactly the group I am most convinced uses fanfic as a social networking tool and most tends to ignore its product value. Of course, if the networking aspects of Fanlib, like hit counts and comment replies and forums, don't get a lot better very fast, that group is probably going to abandon ship in dissatisfaction.
Now, the counter-lj rhetoric that seems to be developing through the forums may change that; it may turn Fanlib into a haven for the lj-dissatisfied. But given the stranglehold Fanlib is applying to content, I can't see that lasting too long either.

Thank goodness.
