(Anonymous) 2012-10-08 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)But, seriously, like other posters before me have said, fanfic and fandom can become a hugbox that encourages and perpetuates word choices and stylistic habits in writing that not only are cliched, ineffective, and irritating, but are instantly recognizable to me when they make their ways into published books as being the work of people who have spent time in fandom. There's nothing inherent about it that provides people the instant tools to make their writing better, it's just a lot of people, some of whom might have good advice that you could possibly encounter at some point.
I'm also slightly baffled that you see these things that are fandom things and the conclusion that maybe the writer is (or was) in fandom and that that is why they write that way apparently never even occurred to you? Who says they can't have learned it in the exact place you think would fix the problem?
