Supposed to be, yeah. The problem is when the self-professed BNFs start taking themselves way too seriously. I mean, fanfic is great, we both know that, but it can only take a writer so far. The problem is that it gets pretty easy to become a big fish in a small pond in some fandoms, so people get swelled heads about it.

And then it's not fun any more. Then it's a job, mucking through all that. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
