fandom: harry potter, your kink is not okay

Your Kink Is Not Okay
Taken from wank_report

arrmaitee and daylyn are assigned to write ravingraven's Harry Holidays giftfic. In the spirit of the season, they decide to include all of her squicks and deride her pairing of choice.

Author's notes: This crack!fic was written for ravingraven as part of the harry_holidays fic exchange. She requested a smutty Christmas fic featuring Harry/Sirius, her favorite pairing. Although she obviously SHIPS Harry with his Godfather’s corpse, she interestingly indicated necrophilia on her list of squicks, along with death fic, chan, bloodplay, scat, watersports, sub-dom, dub-con and non-con. In an effort to help her overcome her profound confusion and extensive squickaphobia, we have written her a simple Christmas tale which includes all of her squicks. Happy holidays!

People are not amused. Arrmaitee doesn't understand why.

Ravingraven is upset by the fic and decides that this is the last straw:

Something else threw me too. I wandered by harry_hols and saw a fic had been posted for me. Oh yay and squee right?

Ugh. No.

I'm really, really, really not a fan of crack fic at the best of times, and I just don't find it amusing. So ugh, I feel like I threw away hours of my life to write 4,000 words of the best damn fic I could for my giftee and in return someone wrote me crack fic consisting of everything I hate most?

Gee thanks.

I haven't commented yet, and to be honest I'm not sure that I will even though it makes me feel a bit rude. But I mean... what does one say to receiving some fic that you absolutely hate? I've been quite lucky in HP exchanges in the past, and have had some really lovely gifts written/drawn for me. But even on the rare occasion I have got something I haven't really liked I've still gone and politely said thank you and found something nice to say about it. But with this I just don't know.

It might just be my current state of mind that finds it so unfair and unfunny, but I must admit that seeing that fic pretty much settled me.

I'm quitting fan fic for good. fuck fandom.

I'm not sure yet what I'll do with all my fics. I may take them down, I may leave them up.

I figure I'll decide in the new year.

Arrmaitee responded but the post has since been locked.

ETA: The authors apologise in the comments of ravingraven's latest post.

ETA 2 We have some details on the locked post here, here and here (oh, and here). They make the apology seem even more sincere!

ETA 3 oh_envy has provided the text of the originally unlocked post.

ETA 4 Mod has apologised and taken down the fic. Screencap of page 2 of the fic and comments. Screencap of mod's now-deleted comment praising the fic. Friend of the pair flaming ravingraven. There's also another 'apology'.

Bahleeted post, but I do have notifications in my inbox from tracking his post this morning. A gem courtesy of him:

I'm not laughing about her feeling bad, I'm laughing about her "well shit, I quit" atitude to the fandom. And honestly I would have rather heard from her because if she had actually contacted me and said, "thanks fo your fic, it's not really what I was looking for because I'm not a fan of crack," I may have written her something else.

	Here, I'll fix that sentence for him: thanks fo your fic, it's not really what I was looking for because I'm not a fan of ~~crack~~ crap. There, all fixed! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I may have written her something else. Well, isn't that generous of him. I'm sure she would have jumped at such a gracious offer. (reposted because cat + keyboard = comment foul) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I believe he'd have written her another shitty fic. Who needs that? (Reply to this)(Parent)

So really, if you look at it, it's all HER fault. She had the nerve to post squicks, the gall to not find his writing brilliant and funny, the balls to not contact the author and kindly say "Thanks, but no thanks," and the sheer audacity to have other things going on in her life that turned this into the straw that broke the camel's back.

I think if we could just prove she was wearing a short skirt and fuck me pumps, we'd have the Blame The Victim winner of all time.

	What if she contacted him and said "Hey, thanks for the fic, I'm not a twunt, but I can see them when they come at me"? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sweet Jesus, he actually seriously expected a "thank you"? How can anybody be that much of an asshole and still have that much bullshit left? (Reply to this)(Parent)
