The reason I ask the question in the post title is I can think of a lot of fanfic I've read or been given to read (and written) that was, in many cases, on a par with the franchises from which they were inspired.
I've also found that practicing playing around in another creator's universe helped me hone my dialogue writing skills, as well as my ability to write for different characters without making them each sound and act like carbon copies of one another.
So, would you, if you've written fanfic, consider releasing it free of charge as a means of expanding your bibliography, or hide it in a shameful folder somewhere on your computer, with your porn stash, where it would hopefully stay overlooked?
