You remember when the fanfic was crappy Shakarian and Talimance stories? Now the trend is crappy ending rewrites, apparently. Whether it's the crappy writing, the blatant author tract, or the melodramtic summaries and author's notes, the subject is the only aspect of the writing that's really changed. Not to say that there aren't decent ones, but the novelty of the concept wore off fast.
