It'll essentially be willingly contaminating ourselves, and I doubt many people will be periodically searching for JtK once they know how absolutely shitty it is, so it probably won't change people's views on pasta. It might just show them how much we rely (not saying we do) on the JtK story for a fanbase. What do you mean this will encourage writers to think more like JtK? And what do you mean with "they will contaminate themselves"? I mean that writers will be encouraged to get more in the mindset of the writer of JtK. I find most people will simply put mor eloquent text into the original story (most people aren't in a creative mind). As for contaminiting, I mean the writers themselves. If one learns that it is accepted to simply rewrite mediocre literature, then one feels that one doesn't need to exert one's mind to come up with a creative idea, rather just leech off of some other writer.
