I would add that I would much rather read fanfiction than the majority of published works I come across. A wide variety of talent exists in fandom, and some books I've read have been truely awful. I find your stories in particular much better written than certain published 'Angel' works I could mention, which I think speaks for itself. You are a writer, and don't ever doubt it. A true artist creates not for profit, and the very fact that the internet is your publisher of choice I think is proof of your merit. :)
