Yeah, I agree with you 100%. It's pretty easy to pinpoint the stories that are rushed out just for the sake of being written. I'm a beta-reader, which is basically just one 'experienced' writer helping other writers improve their work, and some of the things I've seen has been horrendously boring. The stories that are just there for the sake of being there gives my mind such a beating, because it lacks depth and flavour. It's just your average Mary-Sue outshone Mr.Canon and fell in love with him and he fell for her for no apparent reason apart from author said it shall be done! LOL...you know. I'm very passionate about my work and about the craft of writing ^_^
