But should she? Does she really want to post stuff that will make her look like she is clueless?

It would be a lie to say I've never written anything bad. After all, I've done NaNoWriMo and when you're spewing out the words because you're running behind on the 20th quality isn't something you can afford to worry about.

But there are a few things I would say to your friend:
First: Why write a fanfiction if you're not going to stay (reasonably) true to the setting and characters?

I'd point out that if you want people to understand your writing it's important to have decent grammar. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I would make a point of asking for clarification wherever bad grammar makes things confusing. Naturally this includes the paragraph thing.

Sure she can do what she wants. She could sit around on the couch eating twinkies all day, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
