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.
