Well, I think the rules are looser in the vernacular generally, and in fanfiction. I mean, if there really are people who are dissuaded forever from writing fanfiction on the internet because of criticism, they're a small minority at best-- otherwise the horrible bashing communities wouldn't be so busy! And fanfiction breaks the rules in a lot of ways just by existing-- the use of canon characters in decidedly non-canon ways, the use of role-playing games and journals for storytelling-- it's definitely marginal art in a lot of ways that don't include grammar/spelling/intelligiblity. I think it's a part of the stupidity original post, for sure-- 'we're supposed to be banding together and supporting each other out here on the fringes, dammit!'
Hope you enjoy the reread. I added the book to my wishlist so I won't forget it.
