Yeah, some people are bad writers but my main sticking point is that I'm tired of the assumption that because a person writes fanfic, they HAVE to take writing seriously. Granted, I treat writing fanfic about the same way I do writing original fics, but that's how I write and my standards aren't universal. Some people just want to toss up "Favorite-Fandom-Character's Grocery List" for shits and grins and there's nothing wrong with that.
As much as I like meta and talking seriously about fanworks, I think a lot of the time the idea that for some people Fandom Is Just A Goddamn Hobby gets lost.
