I still manage to find books that I enjoy reading on a whim, go to a bookstore, read a bit of the inside and pick it up or not depending on if I like the prose, but I get you on there being more dreck out there because self-publishing is a lot more common.

Which tbh I'm not against, it means that there's more of a chance of unknown, good voices reaching an audience that they might not under traditional publishing, but it comes with the drawbacks of finding a lot more fanficcy style novels that I find difficult to get through. Though that isn't to say that some authors can't pull that switch off because I bet there are those that can.

When it comes down to it fanfic and published lit are just different beasts, and serve different purposes for the reader, which is fine. But honestly, if I'm looking for published lit, I want it to feel like that, not like fanfic because that's not what I'm after and for me at least the tropes/writing styles/choices I like in fanfic, I don't necessarily want in published lit.
