Re: slightly ot but

Frankly, that sounds exhausting.

Ya'll act like there's no midway point between "mastery of the language that would make a Lit major cry" and "childish, barely legible scribblings fit only for some readers' basest wish fulfillment fantasies." Which is silly.

Re: slightly ot but

You're creating the false dichotomy yourself. It's pretty simple: technical errors are distracting. Distraction =/= immersion. And even if I didn't care about total immersion -- and tbh I don't, with fanfic fic -- I still care about flow. I don't want to be tripped up constantly.

I mean, you're acting as though there isn't a pecking order in fandom, when in fact people are always hunting for Good Fic, not just Readable Fic. We'll take what we can get but if possible we want the whole package. I still can't think of one example wherein rampant errors didn't take away from the reading experience, and I challenge you to show me it exists.

? All one needs is spell/grammar check and a good beta.

The rest of it (characters talking IC, etc.) is just gravy. Sorry if I was unclear. (I discussed this earlier in the thread.) My point is: without the bare bones of getting the grammar and spelling write, for a percentage of readers, the rest is moot.
