Recently, I've noticed an upsurge of a few pet peeves in fanfic. Is it the fandoms I'm in or is it indicative of the new/young writers on the block? I don't know and I don't care, I fucking hate it, anyways.
I'm not a writer, but I have seen some of these things happen as an observer, so yeah, I think you have a point. I'm sorry you have to deal with that shit, rhino hide or not.

Fortunately, I'm no longer relevant or even well known any more, but I still get comments. And the majority of them are really positive and lovely, and for that I'm grateful. But when they are ugly, they are REALLY ugly. I think if I were as active as I'd had been, I'd get a lot more grief than the occasional stinker. I mean, I wrote a ton of snarry. Can you imagine how that would go over now with the antis?
I tried to tell everyone, back when they started forcing people to use ratings and warnings for fics (it's not like they warn for those kind of contents on the backs of books!) that this kind of system never did anyone any good, it was censorship and mollycoddling, and now look at fandoms, everywhere. If they aren't overrun with people lying about the adult content to get more clicks from kink-seekers then it's people crying and screaming and rclutching their chests about authors not warning for character death or sex or violence like it's the disney channel. wtf, it's the internet. I TRIED TO TELL EVERYONE.
