I've noticed a couple of comments made in FB over the course of this challenge that I think should be addressed:

What is an angsty fic? Of course each of us have our own level of angst we require before we actually *feel* the angst, so whether a fic is angsty will necessarily be subjective for each fic we read. However, I saw someone once claim ( Read more... )
