Hmm. I don't know if I agree. Granted, trusting your instincts is
probably the way to go, but a little bit of friendly advice never hurts.
After all, that's the whole point of C&C. A ff writing guide at best
wouldn't be a set of rules engraved in stone, but a source of advice and
ideas. Instinct is great when you have 14 fanfics under your belt, but
novice writers often want and need advice and help from those with
experience.
