Um, my biggest problem with reading other fics while I write is probably the fact that I get so distracted by those fics I forget to write. I don't know, I'm sure some characterizations I've written have been influenced by what I've read--especially RPS, since I don't actually know Jared and Jensen--but I've never thought that reading other people's fanfiction got in the way of my own originality.
