But the point is, is that some of the best writers (not just on this
FFML, but in general) constantly walk the shadow world, spinning the
fables of legend.

We are all blessed with the gift of writing.  We use that gift here.
To use a quote, "Talent is the ultimate Art, whether you use or
squander it is your fate".  It doesn't matter if you're a college
student, an ex-soldier, a company exec, a sailor, whatever, we are all
using our gifts to entertain and bring a smile to each others' faces. 
If Hitomi's works, did that, then she did her job.

Heck, this makes for an interesting story all by itself.

"To use the Art of writing, you must be willing to give up a piece of
yourself, to walk in the world of shadows..."

Intriguing. :)

Hunter Kid,
who thinks that you have a very interesting way of wording things.
