luxken27: (Effortless Grace)
For those of you interested in the meta-meta of writing, here is a recent, interesting post from [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism that dovetails very nicely into the last discussion post I held, No, I won't read your fucking story. There are very nice explanations of how the 'fandom hivemind' can sometimes work against an author, especially a non-native speaker, among other things.

Fair warning: the fandom is House, and the fic in question is so wildly OOC that it made my eyes bleed (srsly, people?! House crying? over pregnancy? *facepalm*), but the mod was nice enough to break down the essentials.

ETA: This is the original post to [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism; it has very nearly 50 comments of discussion as well.
