Who is your favorite writer? Why is that person your favorite? Is it the way they tell a story? Is it plot, characterization, scene building? Is it the larger ideas presented in their work? Does it have anything to do with the author's personality?
How many authors have you personally met? For all the ones you have met, how did it affect your view on their work? Did nice people feel like better writers? Did you even want to read something a jerk wrote? How come you pass a different judgment on writers you know than on writers you don't know?
Is it fair to do such a thing? If so, why? If not, why do we still do it? Does anything other than the work itself matter to the audience? Would you like your work to be judged as a reflection of yourself or would you rather have it judged on its own merits? Whichever your answer, will you treat others as you would like to be treated?
P.S. Did you like how every sentence in this post was a question?
