Doctor Who FanFic

This could be about FanFic in it's entirety as a genre. I don't get why people put so much time into these other than for fun. So many, I find, are poorly written but with good ideas. I don't really care much for fan fiction. I would rather just watch the story. There are very few cases in which I want to know what happens AFTER and the possibilities are endless. I guess maybe I wouldn't mind them so much if they were better written and not laden with gratuitous sex. Yes, I know not all fanfic has that in it, but the majority of it does and boy does the whole Doctor Who world get it's fair share! I almost like not knowing what happens after something.

I just seem to find so much Doctor Who Fanfic that is incredibly raunchy in subject matter. Plus the endless relationship crossings....it drives me bonkers. And this is with Buffy too. I guess it's cool that you have the right to tell any story that you want, but at least wait until the run of the show is over or write within the confines of what's been presented!

EDIT: Just FYI I don't mean to down anyone who writes FanFic. I just think I've seen it poorly done too much. I'm all for well written stuff :)
