I agree somewhat about the fact that pretty writing is a differnet kind of writing, but oftentimes, it DOES get mixed up by people, and the idea of their story/ficlet is lost because of that. So, even if they seem to be trying to go for both, but don't really succeed in either. It's frustrating.
And the trend to totally disregard their original takes on the characters to write something totally unrecognizeable, well... it's just baffling to me.
So what's the point? Confusing.
I don't know, beats me. Perhaps it's a sort of exercise in trying to see if they can pull it off, but if the characters refuse to be written that way, well... yeah. See? Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm just closed-minded. *g*
