Now how about this...
If you have a friend who is interested in writing, why don't you
give him or her a selection for fanfics, let them read all, and
then tell him or her to write another fic, based purely on the
knowledge gained from these fics. If a lot of us do this, we
might learn something from this.
Then again, we might not.
Anyway, let's try.
