π Thank you for taking your time out to write this post. It was much needed and I'm glad you write about it.
I had a problem with how most people write on IF. There's some great writing going on here, but more often than not, I come across very badly written stuff. Very great story and theme, but the writing is so bad that I can't get past the first chapter.
And honestly, the first thing I do before selecting an FF to read is the font it's written in. It seriously is the 'it' factor for me. Big green/pink/purple fonts...sorry can't take it seriously.
I'm seriously glad you came up with this. As a writer I would want to make sure to follow these, and as a reader I could relate to all the points you put forwards. Hope a lot many writers get to read it.
