Was this person bitching about Yuletide, or fanfiction in general?
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The world, if history is any guide.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
Also? " YOU BITCHES HATE WOMEN!" not really conducive to encouraging more female/female pairings.
Wow. Someone needs therapy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

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?

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

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

Ah. "Why doesn't the world see the righteousness of my vision" issues, then?

I may have to check that out. I'm in the mood for that kind of silliness.
