You are assuming way too much! Prefering coherence among literary elements is not elistist. If the writing is poor then how can one really appreciate the story, if it is incomprehensible?

IF we are talking about creative literature then the author's artistry is essential for me, and grammar and punctuation do not encompass "artistry" because it is more about practice than artistic, more scienctific than creative.

And if the purpose of the fiction is political, then it should be evaluated as a political treatise, but if it attempts to be "creative" then it should be open to literary criticism.
