- It’s not sustainable, and it’s actively degraded the quality of media over the past five years. “An editor” doesn’t mean a spellchecker. We are awash in first drafts, myopic takes, and people writing purely to drive engagement (the only thing that matters trying to make money as a one-man shop).
- GOD a good piece about fic in a mainstream(ish) pub???? "How might we discuss fanfiction's influence on published fiction in a way that acknowledges that we get something out of fanfiction, and its related forms? Can we reach a healthier vision of the relationship between fiction and desire?"
