Amen. I have over two and a half gigabytes of fanfic on my hard drive. And I've read most of it. (Why throw it away? My opinion has changed often enough.) When the average paperback novel takes up maybe a megabyte (not those monsters some writers do) that adds up, in toto, to well over 2000 books -- assuming a lot of the books are collections of short stories, anyway.
