Blimey, I used to get huuuuuuge amounts of hate earlier in fandom time. I don't agree that culture is getting worse. It's always had that nasty side.
And hee, I used to have some serious personal trolls following me round. Didn't bother me. If all you can do to make yourself feel better about your life is shit on other people - and I don't mean concrit, but personal abuse - then you're a sad git.
I don't really remember your pairings but wasn't it Lucius/Hermione and/or Snape/Hermione? Sorry, but it's been a while since I've read HP!
I do remember reading your fics and liking them, and I (obviously wrongly) assumed het is always a more middle-ground type of fanfic where people are peaceful.
I'm really sorry for that troll experience :(( That is pretty awful, but it's good to know it didn't bother you! You're made of steel ;))
It's like all corners of fandom, there's always someone who wants to share their opinion. Were more likely not to shrug and go oh it's bestiality chan, ykinmk and more likely to go ewwwwwwwwwwww
I think it depends on the fandom. Hockey RPF is infinitely worse than any fandom I've ever been in. I've seen girls doxxed over writing an unpopular pairing. I think in newer fandoms where fandom mores no longer hold, things can get really hairy. (Oh lord, I just mistyped that as 'harry.' Too many HP memories, apparently!)

I used to point and laugh.
