Re: Why is so much fanfiction of TV shows terrible?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, it's because TV watchers are less likely to be used to what good writing looks like than book readers are.

People who are in book fandoms are usually people who read lots of books. And people who read books are familiar with the books' writing and are exposed to examples of How To Write. The same can't be said of TV, because written fiction is a very different format from a TV show or movie.

Obviously, there are also a lot of people who are good at writing/big book readers who are also in the fandom for a TV show. But statistically, TV shows fandoms will have a larger proportion of People Who Can't Write than book fandoms. You probably just haven't found them yet.

(the reverse is also true - books that have large fandoms full of people who don't read anything except that one book franchise tend to have worse writers as well, see Harry Potter.)

What I don't get is when people in book fandoms write like they've never actually read a book. So many fics will be written like this:

"And he said" "I know right" "and then you"

What book is written like that? I realize it can be a language issue, since text is formatted differently in various languages, but I'm talking about native English speakers who don't appear to know how to structure a basic sentence. In English. And yet they've read all three books in a series and have mentioned reading other books.
