Darnation, must remember to sign in! I am not a natural ljer! Hopefully you got a copy of what I was originally going to say. But the condensed version is: good writers get recced.
On a related note: Is there anywhere in fandom that is teaching the craft of writing? I ask because a lot of what I've read lately (from people not on my flist, which is wholly talented) has been so nearly good, but not. If any of those writers had had access to a good editor, or even a good guide to writing, I think they could have made nearly good into really good. As an editor, it breaks my heart to see so much imaginative passion poured out into the equivalent of takeway coffee cups, when it really deserves crystal and fine bone china.
