Welcome. I think the best way to start a thread like this is formulating two main questions:

1) What are existing prejudices, personal or social, of how a writer is, be it demographically or behavorially, given the knowledge they are:

*Writers

*A specific kind of writer (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, prose, genre, literary, etc...)

And

2) Given the knowledge a writter has certain demographical (or less likely to be relevant, but still aplicable, such as with a Počte maudit, behavorial) characteristics, what are the expectatives held of their work, again either personally or socially

The topic of disscusion of this thread is any that exudes from the answers that one can give to these questions, as well as answers to the questins themselves. (own thoughts will likely be given later, outside the op)
