DA: It's called prescriptive vs descriptive grammar. Prescriptive stuff is the stuff they teach you in English classes about what the "correct" vs "incorrect" ways to use the language are. Descriptive stuff is frequently "incorrect" according to prescriptive grammars, but because descriptive grammar is simply the way native speakers of a language use that language, it's "correct" in its own right. So if you imagine prescriptive grammars being some stodgy old librarian who won't accept self-published lit into their library because it's not "the most common" form, and descriptive grammars being self-publishing authors (like some books you can get on Amazon) and works by those that write fanfic hosted on places like AO3, maybe it makes more sense? If self-publishing got huge, eventually the stodgy librarian would have to allow that type of lit into the library because it was the most common type of published work, and the older novels from places like Penguin or Random House were considered archaic (or no longer in demand). Even if the stodgy librarian still thinks that a book still doesn't count as "literature" unless it's been workshopped and eventually approved by an objective and very experienced editor.
