I laugh only because I have the opposite problem; I am sick of people liking dreck where people could not give a shit about the language, eg. horrible shit like the DaVinci Code and those goddamn Alex Cross novels or (jeezus fuck) Romance novels, so writers who actually give a damn about word choice Make Me Happy**.
It seems that genres definitely have their own popular voices and styles, and it does make it harder if you don't write in that particular style. But hard is not impossible. If you have a good story to tell and tell it well and keep trying, you'll find your audience.
