A mediocre, unimaginative person who can't write their way out of a wet paper bag. The medical condition is called Dysgraphia. If you've ever worked at advertising agencies, academic institutions or content marketing teams, you'd know who these people are. Non-writers are easily identified by their linear patterns of thinking, a complete inability to vary syntax, and an endless self-struggle with using the right adjective. They may apply all the cosmetic glow to their substandard, pathetic excuse of a writing but just one glance at those run-on sentences, and you'd know these people are just not meant to write anything important or complex.
By some quirk of fate, talented professional writers end up in the same team as these non-writers. In the eyes of management, they are the same as you, and are qualified to the same rates of pay. When that happens, you have no choice but to suffer their severe incompetence and bruised egos. Despite being embarrassing failures, non-writers are not open to constructive comments and edits.
The invention of AI writing tools has come as a boon to these non-writers. At least now they can hide their dysgraphia. But the lack of freshness in writing remains a permanent question mark on their skills and capabilities.

Me: "Who wrote this blog post?"
Management: "Our new hire, Tanveer."
Me: "I'm sorry. Have you seen the adverb overload on this one? This looks like the work of a non-writer. This Tanveer or whatever should look for an alternative occupation. I can't think of a less capable person to be writing our blog posts."
Management: "Perhaps you're right. But you need to find a way to adjust around this non-writer. Why don't you just correct his mistakes, and no-one has to know! That's why we hired you anyway."

Get the non-writermug. A human-like species fueled on coffee, criticizes themselves. The mating call of writers is the sound of pages flipping.

Get the Writermug. A horror story on FictionPress and was on the e-zine The House of Pain, it's a slash fanfiction writer's nightmare as the author who wrote it took a very hard swipe at those who lift copyrighted properties and rule34 them. Fandom Weirdness addresses real person fiction as he does the form at his own expense as he treats the style like writing creative nonfiction. The story was a forerunner to creepypasta as it's one that it was a little more toned down from his true crime outing as he kept the swearing to a minimum in the first introduction. The writers who found it on The House of Pain noticed it came from an angle that was very much unexplored for a writer yet to be published in print as it sparked controversial responses. It's coined House of Pain's most controversial dark horse. The LGBT community are the ones who want to spear him the most as comments suggesting he needs to be the bottom of anal with no Vaseline.
Slash writers would pull the snacky's law retort as they would bully the author first when they would try to make fandoms from his original content. It's noted for the quote from R. L. Stine. He also introduced the Chick Tracts to the horror lexicon as he when he was 18 had passed them out until he enrolled in college and examined the movement with his blog where he at great length pointed out their fallacy. He used strong language in the blog entry as he did with his cult horror output as he got a following as high up as Huffington Weird.

slash fanfiction writer: did you read that horror story?
other fangirl: what one is that?
The Bara fanboy: Are you two talking about The Fandom Writer?
Slash fangirl: The fucker drew 43 reviews from torqued fan fiction writers.
All of them: oh shit he's borrowing from pundits as he's also a Conservative
fanfic lesbian: Shit he's the same writer who introduced an alleged true crime yarn in the vein of Edgar Allan Poe. Fuck this one has a sting as the horror e-zine going back as far as 1994 picked this up. That's it, he's got our number, talk about getting pwned.
Gossip blogger: I looked into the case, he wasn't making it up as the local newspaper the true crime yarn originated reported on it from 1993-1994. The insight he gave played into the articles themselves as the lines from Cabbie mirror the article. Though he hasn't seen it in years as he wrote this entirely from memory and cited the high school paper as they had a piece on the subjects.
Fandom_wank: let's troll this one and violate his copyrights. He's published and a public figure. We'll cite Encyclopedia Dramatica and ljdrama as our journalistic sources.

Get the The Fandom Writermug. Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

Get the "ghost writer" AUTHORitymug. A condition in which a writer or author cannot feasibly type words onto their computer and every last drop of inspiration soup has been drank and nothing is coming to mind that would make sense or not sound like bulls* and all your friends are expecting you to finish chapter 13 and wondering weather or not billy the fantastic will make his way out of the cave or be stuck there forever.
Also known as "Ihatemyself" syndrome that can also cause yourself to bang your head repeatedly into your keyboard and hoping any of the blood spilled on the letters will bring something into your head to replace said blood and allow you to continue your story.

Get the Writer's Blockmug. Aww... I just found out about the story of Golbraith in Baldur's Gate 3 and how it's based on the father of a fan. That's sweet. Look it up. It's a nice story.
Hym "Aww... That gave me some decent warm fuzzies... I liked that. That was nice... But who's super writer? If he's super that would make me 'Ultra-Omega Writer Supreme.' That's going to be my title in my A.I. Dictatorship. 'Ultra-Omega Writer Supreme.' Call me that from now on... I'm not changing the name."
