There was a mod who deleted it without the knowledge of...everyone?
This is bizarre.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Thrive to spite them
I like fandom wank, it's the only way I can keep up with kerfuffles.
Also, I was reading through fanfic_hate and in the replies to the first comment about who they hate (Ducks) someone invokes Snacky's law.

I have to admit with some guilt that there was at least one post on fanfic_hate that I was entirely in agreement with.
Well, not too much guilt. It was nice to see someone say it. Someone who isn't me. *grin*

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I love the idea that not only did they delete f_w, they deleted the explanation for why they deleted f_w. Like the hate built up to the point where it developed anti-gravity force, and collapsed into a black hole.
It's possible I've been working too hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd imagine someone's done a Buffy/Spike songvid to Outside by Staind (or perhaps Wesley/Lilah). Has anyone hear heard of a good one?

It's like the Ultimate Fandom Wank.

Except F_W is back. So.

I think that makes it even wankier. A giant flounce that didn't take.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, I've got a question, for folks who have been Part Of Fandom longer than I have.
Do people really get leapt upon and savaged like unto a defenseless gazelle if they say something negative about a popular piece of fanfic? I mean, does that happen? Or is it some kind of urban legend? I'm curious because I don't think I've ever seen it happen myself, but some people certainly seem to think it's likely to.
(I'm not talking about "but if I say something negative no one will like me!" That's, you know, life.)

I've never felt like a gazelle surrounded by hungry lions, but I have gone against the tide of popular feeling a couple of time on WIPs and had shocked, disbelieving emails appear in my inbox on the theme of "If you hate it so much, why are you bothering to read it?" I've also gotten emails saying, "Oh, I was so hoping someone would say that." Indeed, the lurkers supported me in email.
I'm not to concerned about other people not liking me for my taste in fic, but I do take into consideration whether I want to deal with any possible fallout. Generally if I dislike a story I just don't say anything. If it's a forum where I post regularly, I hope that my lack of reaction gets the point across.
