They care yeah and it’s bigger than people realise but truly better read than a mainstream Big Time Author-Man. There’s a reason Guy In Your MFA is the joke that it is, MFA programs are stagnant little pools of Big Time Author-Manning.
Fan-fic authors have decades of honing their skills and reading libraries worth of works by others, MFA programs last what 4 years and the reading material is stale white-bread.
