We could learn a lot from the Holmsean fan kerfuffles.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You say "learn," I say "find hope for the future of humanity during fandom idiocy." It's nice to know that there is no new wank under the sun.

Would anyone happen to have a copy of Nanoochka's "Ancillary Stroke" saved that I could beg a read of?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey--did she ever finish her Marty Sue D/C fic?

I don't think so. At least the last thing I read didn't seem like a conclusion. But I haven't been following that one with bated breath like scaramouche's It's Always the End of the World Somewhere timestamps.

I have a completely unsupported suspicion that the feedback she got on that one was pushing in a direction different from where she'd intended to go, and that people weren't responding as positively to the character as she wanted them to.
That was one of the few times I actually read a fic's comments, because something didn't feel aligned.
So, in my head, she punked out. At this point, I have nothing invested in her characters, I just interested in a meta way how she's going to make it work out.
However, scaramouche...just...man, I love those kids.

I've been dealing with insurance shit. I really needed the laugh. One of the funniest bits of fan fiction - well, ever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, I didn't realize that AO3's recent overload problem was mostly due to ff.net drama. AO3 currently has 17,000 people in the invitation queue.
