Several things that did change for me while I found fandom:
1) Really wonderful writing catches my attention when I do find it, especially when the story is damn convincing. ^^; I mean the emotional authenticity, unusual syntax, and so forth. It doesn't matter if the fic is long or short for me. Which is odd, because I used to only read long fics.
2) Pairings that work are not necessarily seen as cool by the majority of the fandom, mostly because the fans are not exactly, er, sensible in that ways. While popular pairings are not necessarily always good ones. ^^; This I learned when I was forced to think about character development and how relationships work, in fiction and in real life.
3) Action/adventure fanfics are damn difficult, mostly because action needs a lot of research and fighting requires knowledge of how combat works. Damn the people who made this task look easy, because I got caught into the trend and now can't get out. ^^;
