Yeah, a TON of terrible fanfiction.
Even the General Fiction category is primarily ChickLit ( and labeled as such ) and it's difficult to find readers looking for mainstream fiction.
But when you find those readers, the results are gold. Especially if you're testing a certain style or new novel concept.
A reader left a great review comparing a segment to Elmore Leonard - "The idea is great and the execution is very good; this is Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross crossed with Leonard's Get Shorty, shaken - not stirred!- with a dash of Chandler. If you can pull this off, you'll have a great story." Which was great, because it was exactly the tone and pacing I was looking for.
Looks like your book was just published last month on Amazon, and is ranking very well. Going to check it out.
