Fan Fic Archives
A Fan Fic Archive is a site specifically set up to house fanfiction.

Fanfiction.net is set up to be searchable by key terms, however on Livejournal, there is way to search for a fanfiction, unless it is posted to a community that keeps some form of index. For example Supernatural fic which is the largest single fanfiction community and has a comprehensive tagging system, that means that the stories are searchable by author, rating, genre, pairing, as well as those relating to specific episodes.
