Starting dialogue in the middle of a paragraph is fine and legal, though?

^^ no one teaches you how to write fiction unless you’re in a high school class for it

I’m not an English major and I click off fics with bad grammar. It just makes the fic unreadable and takes me out of the story

especially in fanfic, which is not a formal setting, there are much bigger grammatical errors to focus on
