So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Seconded. There are authors in various fandoms where I always have a twinge of recognition, and I click on the story... only to recall why I recognize the name and that it wasn't for a good reason.
I have sent in, I believe, a Block Author request to their functionality requests. The more people request a feature, the more likely it is to show up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd prefer notes to block--how much detail did you go into? I mean, do you want their stories to not show up at all? How would you ever know it's time to check if they're better yet? Some authors have turned into people I'd read, but that's after a good six months to a year of my getting scared and making panicky notes next to their name.
Also, I want to put notes saying "Good pr0n" or "best with AUs, not canon" and that sort of stuff.
I really really want to be able to subscribe to a WIP. You can't do that, right? You can get alerts for an author, and maybe a series, but not a story, last I looked.

I want to block authors whose interpretation of the text causes me to rage blackout. It's a thing.

So do you want their stories not to show up at all?

Art Crawl!!!
Do we have any Gishweshers this year?
I saw the list and it is even more craxy than last year.
Also - there are 15,000 participants this year.

Last year, back when I was reading the anon meme, there was a bunch of pissing and whining about the dangerous and bad-parenting things that Misha was forcing people to do to their kids (cf cranberries in a bathtub), so I'm extra happy to see the hurricane Sandy paragraph:
More important than all of this is your safety. If your local officials have told you to remain indoors, DON'T leave your residence. I forbid it. If I find out you did otherwise, you will be disqualified. And even if you are allowed to leave your residence, be smart about it: if it doesn't look safe, DON'T go outside. Let's all work together to keep our friends and teammates on the East Coast safe and dry. Despite what they keep saying, I like you and want you to stay my friend.
Which means the haters will have to do a bit of extra work to find something to whine about.
No doubt they will, but at least this way we might get a couple more days.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can't resist. Trick or treat, you will, hmmmm?
