but once they have an established writer, they can be reasonably sure that s/he wouldn't write such tripe, right?
Yes, my view is a good writer cannot write a bad story, whatever it is. I am reading a tenth walker-self insert one of my f-list wrote just as an experiment, to see if she could do it. I love it. She's a fantastic writer and can turn an over-worked and infamous plot-line into something readable and believable. So, yes, I would trust a good writer not to suddenly produce rubbish.
