after thinking about it some more i'm very, very tentatively assuming that in a fandom devoid of badfic there will be a lot of very intellectual, evocative fiction - character study, good angst, new interesting ideas, canon introspection, all these really wonderful things - but there won't be whole layer of, for lack of better term, 'kink'-fanfics, written just for the pleasure of simple themes - like hurt/comfort fanfiction, episode tags, simple fluff, this or that sexual kinks and so on and so on. it just seems to me that such stories - especially good written ones - are very important part of any fandom, sort of it's middle grounds, and they just can't adequately exist without strong fanon based on, yes, fannish collective unconscious.
