Myself, I've had to give up on the series because Charlie's persistence in putting UK idiom in the mouths of American characters just drives me batshit crazy.
Sorry to hear that -- all the more so because I'm fairly certain he makes a real effort to avoid doing just that.
Regarding Fforde's proximity to Fanfic - I think there's a spectrum there, rather than a hard line.
Absolutely. But it's fun to explode the heads of people who really want to believe fanfic bears no relationship to Real Fiction. :-)
