@Someone: I only use Wattpad. How are the people in Fanfiction.net? Slightly better grammar, and less believable excuses for all the awful writing. Although I have never had the pleasure of purviewing Wattpad, as someone who has spent the past year reading, reviewing, and writing various stories in the RWBY section of Fanfiction.net. I can say that you are right. To a degree. Not all of the writing on FF is terrible as there are that 1 - 2% of writers who actually make an effort to create interesting, believable stories that don't give a middle finger to the canon and follow the rules of grammar for the most part.

But, the good writing is largely buried underneath all the crud written by the majority of people there. And I agree that most excuses for bad writing there consist of "English isn't my first language", "I have school, work, etc., so I don't have time to make this any better", or "I have x number of follows, faves, and reviews, so your opinion of my writing is invalid, so screw off".
