Perhaps upon submission there should be a required option to state whether the text is fanfiction. Regardless of quality, by including fanfiction among other works, you've reduced the average perceived quality SIGNIFICANTLY. Because everyone's seen one or two tremendous fanfic trainwrecks in their time and that's enough to make them avoid an inclusive community entirely. It's ok to allow fanfic, just make sure it's clearly labeled and filter-able.
