XF, oddly enough. One of the currently-popular writers (or fans, possibly -- I'm no longer reading in the fandom) is a doctor who was talking publicly about her patients a lot, and even posted a set of X-rays to her LJ. Finally some of the Old Guard (including a number of friends of mine) took her to task publicly for ethical violations.
It spilled over into fanfic_hate, a bunch of different LJ posts, and will probably show up on FW any moment now. The individual in question has suddenly deleted a lot of her threads on boards, and locked her LJ. But the thing's very much out in the open now.
In the interstices I can see all sorts of old resentments getting aired.
ION, I'm a little disappointed that none of YV has been tagged as over-rated and pretentious on the FF_H XF thread. Ah, well, give it time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I read that "overrated XF fic" thread in fandom_hate and was like to cry with laughter. The best zingers were the ones that are undeniably true, in stories I actually like.
I mean, some of the others were just gimmes, so those one has to rate on how entertainingly bad they are.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, having paged through the XF thread (I hate getting sucked in to fanfic_hate, but I always do), Laurie Haynes *died*?

Just recently, Dana. She'd been sick for a while, so I hear.
There were some memorial posts on the Haven.
I'm very sorry for her family and friends. She was far from my favorite person in the fandom, but she died too young.

Oh, dear. I have to share this, because it's just too frightening for words.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

Undo it! Undo it!
Or pass me the spoons with which to remove my eyes.
