Fanfiction also counts as reading, r-right?

No, and I'd go as far as to say that reading somehting that can have fanfiction based around it doesn't count as reading either.

Nothing wrong with enjoying the New Testament and Dante from time to time.

Erotic fanfiction counts as long as you get a boner from reading it.

Otherwise I do no see the appeal.

Writing fanfiction can have value: it's like having training wheels in your bike, with the world and the characters already established for you, and all you need to do is to put them to new situations. It can teach you story structuring and character relations. But in time you will find it constraining, its limitations getting to you, being not in charge of those characters and settings yourself. You will in the end want to ditch them - just like you'd get rid of the training wheels in your bicycle, and suddenly you can go faster than you ever imagined, and into places you never could have seen before.

READING fanfiction, though? No. That will just rot your brain away.

But... the vast majority of all fanfiction IS from young adult fiction.

It counts exactly as much as reading /lit/ does, anon

Sure it is reading, no question. It's also reading to read stuff on social media, but I it's not literature.
