I have to agree with the sentiment that as long as the story is well written then it gets a click, I don't generally care if it's true or not.
Far, far too many promising stories are ruined because the poster can't write properly. It's the difference between a comedian who builds a backstory to their gag and the annoying kid you used to go to school with who rattles off jokes verbatim. It really is "The way I tell 'em".
Now, we have some gifted writers here - far too many for me to name individually (yes, Pooflake I'm including you too) who have a gift for helping the reader visualize the subject matter in hand.
That's great writing in my book (sic), I'm no literary critic but I know what I like.
