People weren't pissed at her writing badfic. They were pissed at her picking up pinch hits often for canons she didn't know and writing short bland fics, so other people couldn't write those pinch hits. They were also pissed at how she requested everyone in a fandom so it was impossible to game away from her if you didn't want those fics. And they were also pissed that she copied and pasted basically the same thank-you comments over and over. The way she engaged with exchanges was really selfish.

Calling that selfish is incredibly cult of nice because it's obvious now she would have adjusted if anyone had actually said to her "hey, could you be a bit more selective please?". But no one is willing to look like the jerk, so instead of conversations people have grudges.

Also ffs there is nothing wrong with saying thank you the same way each time. If you personally like longer comments and game towards recipients who write them, that's cool. But hating people for saying thank you wrong is messed up.

DA

Really, cause I think cult of nice is not being allowed to complain anon because omg she's trying she didn't know :(

I don't know how you can say that on coal of all places and keep a straight face.

I totally get disliking her and wanting her out of your fandoms. But talking behind her back so she can never change and so you stay miserable is so stupid. Tell her to her face or move on. If you can't do either, accept that you're making yourself miserable and enjoy it.

If there's at lease some sigh of relief to have someone like this gone, then people should understand why people want nothing to do with heeroluva beyond ~enjoying wank~. At least LK wasn't so nose blind that she showed up to apologize for fucking over people and being a blight in her fandoms. Heeroluva not only is open about going to FFA but is actually on the damn discords where they discussed the wank. He knows the it happened and it's just crickets.

LK was a bad writer who didn't realize people didn't like her. Heeroluva sees black men and Asian women as dildos and fleshjacks. Meme only felt bad about the constant wank over LK once she flounced, but they've been defending heeroluva's ~right to privacy~ from the jump.

Meme and coal still uphold CoN because if we really believed you shouldn't hold social norms up then we'd be saying all this stuff to people via PMs or in comments to fics.

It is CoN to act like as long as it's anon it doesn't matter and scroll on but then to clutch your pearls at someone doing something about it or/and being all ohhhh noooooooo you guys were bullies and I hope she comes back :((((((((( after the bitch is gone.

If the mods are going to freeze and screen topics they think are too wanky now, they need to say so. I know the rules say they reserve the right to do that with whatever they want, but it clashes with the CNTW culture.

Re: Wank Report - Darkest Night

Meme is CNTW for stuff like kinks and mass shootings, not racism and complaining about exchange MNFs.

clutch your pearls at someone doing something about it

I've been thinking about this. So many nonnies were going like "wooooow I wish I knew who wrote" this or "the person who wrote this should feel ashamed!" but for the majority of them it's like someone giving unrequested scat, e.g. not a huge deal and that doesn't impact them at all. They were fine to let it pass just as much as someone writing 1st POV for someone that DNWed it.

The minute some people, who likely did have some stake in wanting to avoid this person because someone that sees race kink as just normal race relations - enough to tag it interracial, ffs - is actually scary or finds it beyond the line distasteful to them, and actually did what they needed to do, it was anti/bad/just as wrong as writing racist fic so they were Team Nobody.

Just because you don't have any personal stakes in this, Sharon, doesn't mean that people actually willing to put in the work are as bad as someone who actually had an honest to God racist moment.

To use their go-to comparison of non-con, if it came out that some anon author in fandom was a convicted rapist I bet they would want to know. More power to the person if they did their time in jail and never raped anyone again. They're entitled to work through their part in it through fiction, blah blah whatever. But I'm sure most nonnies would want to be able to not to engage with the convicted rapists noncon, especially if there was any reason for people to suspect the actions in the fic reflected their own actionos. Some people probably would get off on that, but I bet they'd be far more shamefaced about commenting that even on anon than the people +1ing the hotness of the racist fic. Something tells me the sunnies would screen/freeze those replies more readily than they are those racist +1s too.

Uh, you’re mixing up heeroluva and LK.

Re: Wank Report - Darkest Night

(Anonymous) 2019-10-07 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Because nonnies kept trying to sniff out her new name.

Yes, because I totally told you what you weren’t and were allowed to say.

They literally highlighted the part of the comment talking about hl and are clearly not talking about lk.

Are they? Is there even a reason to hate her if she stops claiming PHs? I’m assuming her being so prolific was the key issue but seriously what makes her stand out from half the nnf filthy* casuals that sign up for exchanges and set on the toes of us regular crowd?

* I’m kidding but also not. My TIWAU is that I wish there was a good authors exchange ><;

I've been catching up on Phoebe Waller-Bridge's SNL skits and had a vague thought about nominating the War in Words sketch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODM5WqKLxTA), but also don't want to set off round 412 of nazi wank so I'll probably let it go.

Anyone nominating the Ocean's Eleven trilogy?

NA

Nope, that's the second movie. He gets together with a hot younger Greek guy in the first one. Sadly that's about the amount of actual canon for them, they pretty much dance together once. But it's sweet.

The Haunting of Heatherhurst Hall by Sebastian Nothwell

It's Crimson Peak rewritten with a tall, gawky heroine who wants to bang the sister and no incest subplot. Well, no actual incest subplot; somebody still accuses the siblings of that.

I felt it started stronger than it ended, and there were some weird swings into fluff, but it was pretty fun. (Spoiler: yes, it has a happyish ending.)
