I mean, if the fic is *truly* deep n' meaningful, shouldn't it be a given that the majority are not going to get it anyway, considering what the baseline is? If you take the people who are writing and considering those who are reading probably have even less skill, what can one expect?

I guess the wheel keeps turning round and round... but we never get anywhere. XD Kristi probably has the best handle on the situation. (In other words, 'why are we having this discussion again?' is as good a response as any)

I guess I think when you yourself are a 'radical' reader, you shouldn't be surprised when you get them?
