It takes nothing from me whether fanfic is separated or not. My novels are not popular so it hardly matters. I don't read fanfic. It's in the way when I look for novels to read. I don't want to see movies when I shop for games. I don't want to see porn when I hunt for funny youtube videos. I don't want to see NFL when I try to watch cartoons. All of these are very different things. They all are similar or identical types of media with very different fan-bases, users, etc.
I'll stop arguing now as Kingicez requested. It's clear neither of us will change each others minds. I respect your opinion and I may very well be wrong. I have an obvious bias on this issue. I'm not so conceited to think I'm always right and everything should be as I want it. Thanks for the debate.
