And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

She wrote a lot of treats that often didn't actually match what people wanted, but in a cheerful, careless sort of way rather than a deliberately DNW-edging way. Some people stoked each other's irritation with her, because she was incredibly hard to avoid, and then there were long threads on ffa about how terrible she was. She eventually found out (possibly someone linked her to the threads) and deleted everything. Some people's reaction was very gloating.

You know, you can always not look at a hate thread that someone has linked you to.

It wasn't so much "stoking irritation" as people just complaining and then finding each other, because she was impossible to avoid, yeah, which was really aggravating after a while. And she did it for a long time! It was mostly people just venting, and then a couple of whiteknighting types kept saying it was "bullying."

Yes, this. If nonnies actually had started trolling her in namespace or encouraging each other to do that then it would be different, but wasn't it all just venting? I admit I wasn't following every BFE thread at the time and may have missed some of it, especially if the mods shut it down, but that's the impression I got.

I don't know it meets the definition of bullying, but it felt vicious at times to me, and I didn't like L_K. I wished someone had taken her aside and said directly that she needed to pay more attention to prompts if she wanted her work to be received warmly.

The problem with l_k wasn't prompts, it was basic literacy. Like I feel terrible that she got run out of fandom, but the problem was that she desperately needed a proofreader. Not even a beta reader, just someone to fic SPaG and make sure the words of her fic made sense.

Do you have a link to her fic? I want to see it for myself.
