I think it's like anything else - some authors you will like to read and others you don't. I have never liked Tolkein or Charles Dickens yet I would never say they were crap, just not to my particular tastes.
I haven't read much of YiffStar but anything that is too porn orientated simply isn't my thing. However, I am sure there are good writers on there, I can just imagine it may be a case of filtering through the crap.
However, I would never disparage anyone who has gone out there and given it ago. If you write (or draw, or perform etc) you are putting yourself on the line to a point as you are naturally going to be judged. Fair play to all those who go out there and do it - that's the thing I respect above anything else.
