I would still have problems with fanfic that spends so much time

fiction, but if it's anything like some of the "serious" UY fiction 
I've read, I wouldn't care for it.  The authors often completely missed 
the fact that UY is supposed to be funny.

Just because a series is funny, does that mean its fanfics have to be?
