Well sometimes I'd rather read a story with simple sentences and written by an ESL person than by an English major, because then I don't have to read fanfiction with a dictionary on m'y lap.

I think that for fanfiction characterization is as important as writing style so that doesn't mean your stories are bad anon.

Yeah, I agree. Some of my favorite fics aren't really technically brilliant, but the story and characterization are so good that I don't care.

Pretty much. I'm not reading fanfiction because I expect high literature, and the most enjoyable fanfictions I've ever read were executed well but words very simply.

I don't want to get caught up in the language instead of the story, you know?

Sometimes, I'd also really love some people to remember that not everyone has the kind of specialised knowledge the author has. There's this author who wrote a great fanfic involving computer programming. And It was kind of cool noticing she really knew what she was writing about (knowing the author works in that field) but I was going "uh... okay, sounds cool but I have no idea what's going on". Technobabble is all nice and shiny, but I don't want to read a book about programming, I want to read fanfiction...
