I have been reading fic. It isn't really badfic and it certainly isn't bad!fic, but the author is almost definitely not a native English speaker and it shows.

But I just had to share my favorite -- repeated -- error. One character touches the other who feels "a fission of desire."

Since I know I have several writers and readers of fanfiction on my friends list, do I let the author know? I have no qualms doing so if the writer is really good or someone I read often which isn't the case with this one.

I'm not up on that bit of the etiquette. Most of the reviews I've written were simple notes of appreciation.
Personally I'd probably appreciate it, especially if mentioned together with some more positive things.
