Examples

“Fanfic is not competition. I read⟳ what interests me--and the profic ain't interesting, at least not anymore. (Except books with Vulcans. Lots and lots of Vulcans. I like⟳ Vulcans. You put⟳ out anything with Vulcans, and I'm likely to buy⟳ it, even if I read⟳ negative reviews of it. I love⟳ Vulcans.) Point⟳ is, I haven't chosen fanfic *over* profic.”

“BTW: there are some profics that I enjoy⟳, but most of them I wonder⟳ if the author knows anything about TOS!!!! And I extend⟳ that to Bill Shatner's post-Nexus stories - there are some lovely moments, but I really don't care for his Kirk, Spock, and McCoy many times.”
