Then by book 3, not only is the entire book just all the other protagonists continuously going, [Arthur Shappey voice] “Edwin will do something clever and it will all be fine.” as they follow whatever plan he researched up this time, BUT ALSO the antagonists, including notably Edwin’s shitheel brother who’s dedicated a significant amount of their lives to discounting and tormenting him, going, “Unfortunately, we must adapt our evil plans specifically to account for the fact that Edwin Courcey is the cleverest magician in the British Isles.” Walter Courcey shouting, “Edwin’s up to something!” like a tattletale sibling in the back seat on a road trip, you will always be famous to me (derogatory) (not calling him the nickname he hates now are you, fucker). (And then Edwin breaks his magical handcuffs, asks his hot & punchy boyfriend to cause a distraction, and channels an entire leyline until he shines like lightning and blows up/partially dissolves magician!parliament; you will always be famous to me (laudatory, exultant.))

And yeah, I can ignore all the times it's trying to get me to cut out any semblance of my own voice, or shove things into the wrong tense, or make the most random suggestions on comma usage. But if it's getting all that WRONG, what is it just straight up missing that I SHOULD be correcting? What real spelling and grammar errors are still lurking in there?

Industry standards are industry standards FOR A REASON. Having everyone on the same workflow can be crucial to getting things done effectively and correctly without creating a lot of extra work. And those things are not going to change overnight, as much as we might want them to.

Yeah, Word, let me just leave this whole chunk of dialogue without the closing quotation marks. That's the thing to do. How dare I have two punctuation marks in a row. It's not like that's how closing quotation marks fucking work.

I am going to light something on fire.

and every time he was there, i felt like i couldn't breathe.

You could call it cheap or a crutch and I mean, yeah, sure, it is a little bit: the fanfic relies on previously established emotional bonds and stakes to achieve its goal, and in some cases it saves the author from having to 'properly' build up its stakes. But I think it's INTERESTING that it has that tool at its disposal. I think it's a fun thing to play with and I think these built in expectations and emotional bonds are especially why I find story driven aus in particular to be fascinating in the amount of ways you can play with them. You know??
