Re: Do you ever come across fanfic that is TOO clever?

I don't understand why calling something they like badly written is such a sensitive topic for people.

It's not "language-policey" to say a B-movie was badly acted. That has nothing to do with whether people love it or not. In the same vein, I don't think it's "language-policey" to say that a fic full of typos and cliched fanfic turns of phrase is badly written on a technical level. The number of times "the raven-haired man gazed into her amethystine eyes" or how many times the grown woman thinks "geez!" during sex is repeated has nothing to do with how much you cried at the end of the story or how interesting and unique the overall plot was, but it sure makes the writing bad.

Writing, like acting, is only one dimension of the whole thing.
