The anti-pulp attitude is just elitism. I love a good book, but let's face it, a lot of book lovers are extraordinary snobs. Like someone else noted, Lovecraft and Dickens were "pulp."
Books are not art, sorry if some of you writers disagree with me. I do not consider myself an artist, I consider myself a storyteller. If there is a story to tell, whether it's a single "artistically done" drama or an action series, if there's a story to tell it's worth writing. People shouldn't have to worry about whether or not they are considered pulp authors.
