Curious

So, there seems to be a new trend in the newbies' writing styles... Don't ask!

I figured I'd ask here what gets you or puts you off a fic...

What I've been noticing is a distinct lack of quality in the majority of fanfic writing lately. I will elaborate on a separate post, as a few have asked about it.

I agree with the odd errors getting through; it's normal, and it even appears in printed material. :)

Perhaps the recent lack of quality is because many of the experienced authors have been wrapped up in stories for the exchange?

Oops, think I missed this one initially. I don't think it is so. Quality has little to do with newbies and/or exchanges going on. Yes, every author has the odd off-moment, but largely, they're consistent where quality is concerned... And this has been going on for longer than since September when the prompts for the exchange were issued.
