Also, there is a HUGE difference between if it's well written and if it's good. I'm a English major, and I can tell you right now that not everything I've read for my courses is good, but it's most definitely well written.
For me, well written is all the basics first (fundamentals are the building blocks to fun) so grammar, stylistic devices, proper puncuation (COMMA USE!!!!) and plot advancement. Not only that, but anything that comes with basic writing, spelling, grammar, proper nouns, proper use of prepositions, etc.
On top of the basics, really WELL-WRITTEN is capturing from all angles. It may not be the fic you recommend, but this is how I see it.
Ex. Revolutionary Road.
I can admire and respect what it is, and what the message is, but when it comes straight down to it, the book is well-written, but not something I want to read again. It's got an awesome plot, awesome characterization, development, etc. But it's not my favorite thing ever. I can understand and take the meaning behind it, but it's not good
