Yeah, in order to have chosen DW as your main social media, you have to have a certain level of fluency with written language, I think. Which doesn't necessarily translate as skill at writing stories, but it usually at least means you've got a handle on things like paragraph breaks being useful, and that counts for a lot sometimes. But I think I am better than some people seem to be at filtering out the bad/boring before I even click? I think part of it is just that I'm not all that picky, so my range of acceptable characterization, say, or plot pacing, is pretty wide. But also not being picky actually means, paradoxically, that I can be pickier, because I'm much less likely to be desperate enough to try something that has warning signs of badness just because there's no better options. Also, long experience and knowing the community help!
