Wish I wasn't a big giant boat.
I'm not trying to be pendant and I stand by my statement (while I'm not a servicemember, this is actually related to what I do for a living). Writing good fiction isn't related to skill, it is related to interest. If you can form a basic English sentence, you are already equipped with all the skill for writing good English-language fiction anybody will ever have. From there it is only a question of drafting and, particularly with fanfiction, research. Any concerns about quality can be addressed through drafting, or exposing oneself to how other writers have handled a particular scene you feel needs assistance (this is where reading other's work comes in).
I'm not trying to be a jackass, I'm trying to tell people that they can write the fiction they want and not have to rely on others writing what they want to see through chance and statistical happenstance.
