And some writers don't need their writing to shine as long as the contents of their story and characterization and all that resonate with the readers. And since this if fandom, people are pretty much guaranteed to like the characters. Toss in a few fandom favorite tropes and you're the golden child.

I know you don't mean this as a particularly positive thing, but sometimes it is for me? I've been thinking about how on particular BNF is one of my all time favourites, even though I can find her writing style grating. It's because she is genuinely fantastic at giving her characters complex emotional lives and then drawing the reader into them while keeping an edge, and never becoming melodramatic or cloying. I don't think she doesn't deserve to be popular just because her writing lacks something.

I think in fandom we all learn to settle for something that's not quite as good as it could be. I'm forever reading fics with interesting concepts that are pulled off very poorly.

ayrt

I disagree, I think we do this with everything. And we're all more sensitive to some things than others.
Some people can enjoy Teen Wolf for the aesthetics and interesting characters. Some people can't get over how little sense it makes and how terrible the werewolf makeup is. Same difference.

da

I know what you mean

there is this author in one of my fandoms, who is atrocious at pacing, character development, pacing, finishing anything ever, etc.

...but who is fantastic at worldbuilding, which is something I love! they really expand on the canon in some very interesting ways, enough to make me keep reading
