It does look like an awful lot of Mary Sue. I was also disappointed that they don't have categories in the fanfiction for the specific tv shows, movies, books, etc., that the fanfic is based on. So much easier if I could search on SPN or Buffy and not have to wade through other stuff as well.
I mean there might be good stories there -- but their search could use a lot of work.
I generally read (and post) on three fanfic sites already: fanfiction.net, archiveofourown.org and tthfanfic.org (Twisting the Hellmouth). I have my favorite authors (though I'm always open to finding more). I find the stories on archiveofourown to be generally of high quality. Fanfiction.net has a lot of high quality stories as well, but it's more of a mix -- that's why over there I usually just follow authors I've gotten to know through communities like the E/O challenge. I haven't read widely on LiveJournal at all, and I'm still discovering Twisting the Hellmouth.
