What kinds of things are people saying, then?
"YOU BITCHES HATE WOMEN" and other such nonsense
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

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!

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.

Hey. New board.
Last year, I wrote femslash for Yuletide. Well, a pre-femslash Mac/Veronica short anyway, back when VM was a rare fandom. Does this mean I don't hate cunt? That's good to know.
I... may need to explore that archive now. Yay.

If I only had a brain...
"You bitches hate women" was a paraphrase, not a direct quote. Sorry.

No, I'm sorry, I've overstepped my boundaries.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
I was just thinking that so far, the quality of the stories has been very high. I've hopscotched my way through about half of them, and haven't come across one real dud yet.
(And my recipient seems to have really liked her story, which made me do the Snoopy dance in my jammies.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I've found that there are lots of fandoms whose source material I don't know. This makes me sad, and faintly embarrassed. However, of the stories I've read so far, they've been pretty damned good.
Meanwhile - yesterday I bought Shallott's book! And was VERY squeeful to see it displayed in various bookshops while I was shopping. I had to physically restrain myself from grabbing random shoppers and telling them they HAD to buy it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My recipient liked her story too, which is all I really had time to hope for.
Tomorrow, god willing and the creek don't rise, I start reading.
