Nope, I totally agree with you and thought the exact same thing myself. I'd rather read a new sam_storyteller story or a new installment from invisible_lift than see a new episode. I'm not actually exaggerating about that.

Of course, as demotu has pointed out on numerous occassions, the fanfic probably wouldn't be so good and so interesting without so many holes to try to fill with logic and emotional growth. So, if the writers got better, I bet the fic would get worse.
