Duh?

Wow. I don't know why I'm always so amazed at jerks who write so-called literary fiction and look down on genre fiction ("It's all just the same crap, recycled decade after decade"), claiming that "weird, unusual (yet good) stuff" gets snubbed in general just because what they write, that they consider good, is not instantly popular, but I am. Maybe because it seems so obvious to me that the really popular stuff they rail against is actually not ~recycled crap~, Suzanne Collins was not just writing in a genre because it was popular - some people write gamechangers, and the people who copy them are generally not that successful.
