I fully agree with the purpose of FF.net, but I think it has become worse lately. And I´m not sure I would have been "good enough" for Stories of Arda, without my wonderful beta! I´ve read fics for over a year, and even if I did not know what to select at the beginning, I think there is more "crap" there now than a year ago. More people are writing (especially movieverse fics) now, of course with the popularity for the films.

They could use some more ways to select what to read, though. More categories e.x.
