Forgive me for saying this, but...
...the average quality of authors in AFF is still lower than ffnazi.net or the greyarchive. [i'm saying this based on a limited sample in the Videogames section]. Then again, if more writers participate, quality will rise. If good writers are the top of a pyramid then their numbers will be larger if the pyramid gets bigger. Of course it will have its excess baggage of bad writers.
