I'm just amazed you still put yourself through this, Dana.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sumi, is that a) good because you can avoid her like the plague for the good fic or b) good because you can now read all her works and laugh like a loon for weeks on end?

Some people I know keep hoping that this specific badfic writer will be revealed as an elaborate practical joke. I don't think the chances are good.

Oh, the John Cougar Mellencamp bit made me laugh and laugh.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
While I don't turn my nose up at the thought of musicians as philosophers, I don't think those particular musicians are the sort that make little girls and boys scream with joy.
Though it's probably been a decade or two since John Cougar Mellencamp did, either. My theory that this writer is actually a 13 year-old girl just got shot in the back of the head, execution style.

Oh, people have met her. In person. She's not 13.

Good, because I'd hate to think that a fandom was so completely full of the very bad fic. I mean, sure there is bad fic in any fandom -- but if this is all one person, I can think that there are others writing less bad LFN fic.
