You can't, yet. But one day, this page will be a good place to start.

Thankee, Am-Chau. Bookmarked for later perusal.

I had it to hand (mouse?). Nervously checking the deadline once more.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So, being as soon I'll have a lot of free time... can anyone rec me some stuff that's off the beaten track and sure as heck not aggro-Spuffy?

I feel this is going to be an interesting dialogue. It'll probably make f_w as well. All about the myth of BNFs holding down lesser known writers:

Huh.
Dude, I've never been oppressed by BNFs*, and I write wonky-ass shit with weird-ass pairings and really, as a result, manage to totally avoid fanon for the most part. I stand by my theory that most BNFs have no clue that they are, in someone's head, a BNF. (Wish I could remember the exact fish/shark thing I came up with.)
*There is only one BNF I can think of in the Wee Small Fandom I call home who pulls crap like that and has minions, etc. She is v. popular among the fans of the more Anne Rice-y BS, and I prefer to avoid her because I fear her followers. But for the most part, those I think of as BNFs? Have all been sweeties.

I remember there being some BNF hullabaloo in BtVS fic awhile back. There were anonymous sites attacking authors and then other anonymous sites attacking the authors that were supposedly behind the first sites. It got kind of ugly but then it all went away. I think.

There are minor hissyfits every few months.
Mostly, it seems, on BBF, and then occasionally spilling over into the wonderful world of LJ.
Most of the BNF BS I see is Smallville directed, which does have a lot of BtVS writers.
It's why friends groups were invented. I want to spread the term aggro-Spuffy now. Doubt it will catch on, but it's so very much the mindset that leads to the hissyfits.

Well, yes. There are minor hissyfits in popslash as well. Why, just last month, a bunch of writers (myself, included) had a very tongue-in-cheek JC/Chris revolution. We declared it the Age of TrickC/KittenTrick/Kirkchastrick/Whatever-You-Want-to-Call-It and posted links to all the JC/Chris fic we had written. The idea being, we like the pairing and we would love if more people wrote it.
There was a backlash. Apparently, we were attempting to oppress the other pairings. I just rolled my eyes and went back to writing my KittenTrick Cuba AU.
