I didn't say let them write it. hahahaha. Just make the props/suits. Fan made movies usually suck. Badly. Really, REALLY badly.

They do. Some are good...but are hard to remember.

I think the problem with fan films is they get all caught up in the effects, and stuff, and they forget the story and acting. Bad acting you can deal with...but a bad story...is unforgivible.

The opposite is true aswell: Great story + Great acting + horrible/cheesy effects = Garbage.

There has to be a balance. And fan made movies rarely find that. Dead-End is often mentioned as a great fan made movie but for me, I just don't see it. The costumes were great and top notch but imo it as nothing more than a FX/Prop infomercial. The story, if you wanna call it that, was beyond convoluted and the acting was pretty terrible aswell (Boner from "Growing Pains" as the Joker!?) But I see tons of people praising that as some kind of milestone for fan made projects.

I want a suit, but my height would make it look nothing short of ridiculous, so I've avoided it.

I think it was (and this goes for me as well), it looks great, and is just a simple story, with some very impressive effects. It did set the bar for other fan films.
