That is pretty much where my googling got me, Consuela. Lynch seems to be the one who has explicitly acted badly in everyone's accounts even without getting into who was manipulated
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I know plenty of people who've been hurt by Bear, but there also seem to be stories about people who've been hurt by Rowland too. I don't know anything about Lynch.

Because books.
Yeah, giant mess seems to be on the nose.

Thanks for that, Dana, I'll bear that in mind.

I haven't read any of Rowland, but I find the podcast she cohosts, Be The Serpent, entirely charming. Sigh.

And having spent another a Saturday mostly lazing around reading, finished The Angel of the Crows and it's very good. Addison says in her Author's Note that it started as Sherlock wingfic abd I'm glad she said so because I was certainly picturing Cumberbatch the whole time.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Or as someone on another forum put it: poly drama with an overlay of power & manipulation.
I have to admit, it read like every poly drama I have witnessed, down to the manipulation. The only extra thing was the power differential because they're all in the same industry .

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And it is interesting how much public attention is on Bear instead of Lynch...
This is where I'm at - I'm a fan of Lynch's work (or, well, probably past tense now) but watching this play out in public it's been really uncomfortable watching everyone take sides for or against each woman involved while he gets to stand on the sidelines being performatively apologetic while not admitting to actually having done anything wrong.
