Ugh, that's super cringey.

Also, rereading the comments on the fic for the first time in years... it's worse than I remembered. I sometimes think Cult of Nice gets exaggerated, but it really was something in those days. And boy, is FA Watson a piece of work.

Is she ever.

I find it amusing that in the exchanges she owns (there is/was a Renault one) she is incredibly shirty. IIRC she rigidly confines which works you can write slash about. Anybody who wants can correct me here.

dc - Yeah, there are people who think "Cult of Nice" means "nice in general." It doesn't. It's asshole behavior behind a smarmy(*) faux-nice façade.

(*) not "smarmy" as in "no homo but let's cuddle naked," but as in "unctious and fake"

I haven't looked back at this since it happened and god, a lot of those comments on the fic are utter shit. WTF is up with people defending it? To this day, I boggle at it.

I think most of the commenters weren't aware of the problems with the fic as a gift for the recipient in line with the recipient's requests and only read it as a work in its own right without the context.

I'm sure, but the ones I'm talking about flat out reference the recipient's reaction to the fic.
