And I'm not saying that to encourage you to practice self love or whatever. I'm not saying that "art doesn't have to be good." I mean, it doesn't, but that's not my point.

I'm saying that the objective reality is that if you have a fun concept, if you are passionate, if your work is literally legible, you will have readers that appreciate it. 95% of fanfic readers are not looking for Quality Literature. They're looking for a juicy peice of fanfiction. They're looking for a medium to project onto. All you have to do is create that medium.

So yeah, your fic probably has all those problems you think it has. It's probably too long and the timeline is weird and the dialogue is cheesy and the plot has holes. And people love it anyway because YOU love it. They love it because when they read it, they feel like you've reached into their brain and pulled out their desires.
