Re: Your stylistic quirks too precious to give up

That's kinda the point of the metaphor? Some people are in it for the stained glass, some people would rather have a clear view of the story. Neither of you are wrong. (Although if the story behind the the glass is already dull and foggy...the fancy glass won't look great either.)

However if you're writing a gift fic you should probably do your best to only write stained glass for people who like it. (My canon is 100% stained glass, my recip better be ready for some nice purple jewel tones.)
