I did wonder if there might be some overlap, despite not noticing the earlier recommendations of that site, that I recall. Come to think of it though, I don't remember where I did see the link to the site.
I have made a few minor contributions to it myself, as 'Robert'.
Referring back to your earlier post on fanfic writing, it is very useful to know how stories work - what the standard components are, and the many ways they can fit together. Even a crude painting-by-numbers approach would be better than much fanfic; get a deep understanding of story mechanics and you can write the kind of fic that keeps your readers glued to the screen for 30 hours straight.
A conscious understanding isn't necessary, of course, you can rely entirely on techniques unwittingly picked up from your reading, but it is certainly useful - and sites such as this wiki are probably a better way of getting it than dry academic dissertations.
