We still read them because: the books are utter trainwreaks. You know you shouldn't look, but you can't help yourself because you want to see the carnage.
We are always complaining because: the books that did not have sex where actually good. There was plot development, plot was not relegated secondary to Anita's lovelife, and Anita was not yet the uber-powerful Mary Sue that she is now.
We can call ourselves fans because: it is the place of the fan to not only enjoy/celebrate/worship good new books in a series, but too look at the flaws as well. As much as people enjoy the Harry Potter series doesn't mean that those fans don't have issues with those books. To say you can only say positive things about books is to say that you can only be a fan if you are a yes-man. Besides, as bad as the new books are, there are still things to like, and that keeps us as fans, even if the strength of our love is severely diminished.
