I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this, because ::shakes head:: I can't even wrap my head around it.
Admittedly, pretty much all of the fanfic I read is based on visual media, even if the text originated as a book (HP, LotR) or comic (X-Men, Smallville), and I can list fan authors up the wazoo who write well, and another, shorter list of authors who rock my world and would, in a perfect world, be published and revered, and I can do it in up 4 or 5 media fandoms.
Not having read any Superman comics fic (is it big? I'd read some lovely Clark/Jimmy Lois & Clark fic prior to getting involved in Smallville and I know Batman is fairly ficcable), I can't comment. But there's some excellent Buffy fic out there.
