*Nods in agreement* That to my mind is also very healthy.
He does say 'a lot' is crap - and I think there's a lot of writers who'd agree. I don't, but then I don't read as widely as some. But I liked his inference that even if it is crap, the people shouldn't stop writing/posting.
Besides, one reader's idea of 'crap' and definition of it, is another reader's 'this is wonderful'. And who is to say which reader is right/wrong? Indeed, I venture to suggest that in fact neither are 'wrong' as it's their opinion.
I've read what I'd call crap, but other folk have loved (of have seemed to) so . . . Ditto I've read stuff I really enjoy, but others consider crap, because of various reasons.
There is room in fanfic for everything - or there should be.
