So how does she remix? By quoting bits of the book?
She -- and this is the best bit -- creates an OFC who "slays" the OC in the original story. At least once, she's driven the original writer to pull the story, and then posted her own remix anyway.
Given how many people writing in Narnia are clearly just kids, I think it's cruel--and also pointless. No one will ever defeat the power of the Mary Sue.
Also, policing fandom never works. "You shouldn't write bad fic! You shouldn't write X type of story!" Eh. I have my squicks, and there's stuff I won't read, but I know better than to think I can actually change someone else's fannish buttons.
I have a list of things that people shouldn't do in SPN fic, but no one listens. You mean I could just bully them out of it? Man, I didn't know it was that
easy.

I just hope she is a teenager. The last time I encountered someone operating with that much malice and conviction, it was a woman in her 40s. If this one's a teenager, at least there's a hope she could grow some compassion.
I just can't imagine doing that. I can't imagine having the arrogance to think I should do it in public, either.
ita, do you mind if I post that link to my Star Trek f-list?
Awesome! Posted and I said to spread the word.
So I asked my flist for Harry Potter recs, since I just finished the series & saw the last movie.
... what I have learned is that Harry/Draco does nothing for me. Bah.
I liked Resonant's Transfigurations, but despite the romance, not because of it.
