*applause* And unfortunately, the kind of uncritical response this poster wants is what certain types of male critics use as ammunition to deride women's writing. "See, they can't TAKE criticism. They can't even WRITE SENTENCES. So why should we let those silly girls play in the Male Halls of Literature?"
I don't read fanfic (just never got into it, thus no judgment of it implied on my part), so I don't know the rules of the fanfic world. Is there a clearly delineated division between people in the fanfic world who just really want to write about X characters in Y fandom and may not care about improving their writing per se, and people who want to/do write professionally who are having fun with X characters in Y fandom as well as trying to improve their writing by working with familiar characters as a jumping-off point? Serious question.
