I wonder whether not writing it makes the 'meh' period take longer to arrive. I felt no desire to rage at people's lack of grasp of canon, or to fume as they massacred the characterisation.
I mainly felt the need to make bitchy comments and hit the back arrow really fast. I must be really, really, really old and jaded. ;) No, appalling characterization and canon errors merely prompt me to cry out, "Why does my head hurt?" and to move on to the next story.
I think all fandoms have a high signal-to-noise ratio when it comes to fic quality. OTOH, I read a couple of opening paragraphs that made blood spontaneously shoot out of my ears...
