Reading published fiction does not mean you are reading good fiction. Because I have read tons of fics better than Twilight and/or various other books I read when I was younger.

[rubbertea]

this. reading fic is more beneficial to your education than reading cheap ya books. hell, reading the newspaper is more beneficial than reading cheap ya books.

[(Anonymous)]

But fic is pretty much cheap ya books.

[kaijinscendre]

Yup! All the same shit going on but A) Free B) Characters I care about

[rubbertea]

most of it is, but it's free, so who cares

[(Anonymous)]

Why only YA? Are bodice rippers somehow superior?

[rubbertea]

not the right person to ask, i hate bodice rippers

but seriously, cheap anything is likely to suck. i was talking about ya because it's inexplicably popular and the only thing a lot of people read, and because, well, it's not very beneficial for your education.

I sympathize with your position, but otoh (as I have to remind myself) I spent a good chunk of my childhood devouring Sweet Valley books, and I turned out literate anyway (internet language garble aside, appearing in 3, 2, ---). Smart kids gonna smart; less-smart kids gonna be entertained by reading and therefore still flexing their imagination muscles.

I doubt Twilight's in the Trinity College Library...

Actually... http://stella.catalogue.tcd.ie/iii/encore/record/C__Rb13147131__Stwilight%20meyer__P0%2C8__Orightresult__X2?lang=eng&suite=cobalt

The TCD Library has more or less everything, it's awesome. :~D

I've read way too many crappy books and fantastic, publication-worthy fanfics to really invest too much in the viewpoint that one is somehow inherently better or worse than the other.

If you really are concerned about someone's education and life experience, then it's not really about what medium you are reading, so much as what you are reading in that medium.
