Friendly note to person on my friendslist:

"Nobody wrote my preferred pairing in my favored fandoms" != "Everybody hates cunt" [her phrasing, not mine.]

Also? " YOU BITCHES HATE WOMEN!" not really conducive to encouraging more female/female pairings.

Was this person bitching about Yuletide, or fanfiction in general?

The world, if history is any guide.

Wow. Someone needs therapy.

Heh, it's JennyO, innit? I don't even have to check.

Just came back from a week-long time-off with family with spotty access to internet and now, look at all these stories I need to read and no time to do it! Bah.

I didn't have to check either, Vonnie. I've seen more than a few rather hateful posts about Yuletide. And while the whole anonymous story thing tends to send me into a neurotic tailspin, at least I'm not inflicting it on anyone else.

Plus, kind of ignoring all of the gen written for Yuletide.

That's Two ! Two!

I demand the title of Thread Killer by right of Combat! People, send forth your Champion!

Obviously, I have the wrong people friended. All I've seen is sweetness and light. Where's my vitriol, dammit?

What kinds of things are people saying, then?

"YOU BITCHES HATE WOMEN" and other such nonsense

Anne, generally I think it's been people flogging their own pre-existing issues under lock.

Where's my vitriol, dammit?

I'd be willing to bet that you'd find some if you surfed the Yuletide community friendslist. I'm tempted to go see!
