On the other hand, jeezus, you guys get very critical of high-school-fanfic-writing-level stuff. Like, what do you expect out of completely amateur writers with likely no training and little practice?
I globally agree with your post, but this above-mentioned quote somehow irks me, it seems to imply that amateurism necessarily is an antonym of technical mastery, which is flat out wrong.
On a side note, I don't know if Milk flavored mochi Mochi au lait is indeed an amateur, and if the point of them using some cliche tropes isn't precisely to turnabout them.
