For some of us, some of those things that get lumped in as "literary quality" issues are *precisely* how we get pleasure
Yes, yes, yes. I want to read stories whose prose blows me away. I want to write stories like that. It's not enough that a story have something I like in it (whether it be a favorite character, an OTP, a setting or sexual kink, etc.) if the writing doesn't impress me, if I'm not sitting there totally envious of the way they strung the words together.
