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'.

Yes... because RR has no sense of humor and he really doesn't care that she didn't like it and he wins for his crackgoodness driving her out of fandom and he feels so accomplished... but he's really, really sorry ~~that everyone thinks hes a fuckwit~~ that he did it.

I wasn't going to post them, but he pissed me off. As if the ones of us that read it won't remember.

	I hadn't seen all of those, and OMG that's really fucked up. I usually stay out of wank in LJ but I can't stand people defending them. They are driving me up the wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kerryblaze 2007-01-01 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, me too. I happened to be awake when the original post went up and I was appalled and immediately assumed that people were going to disagree.. and they didn't. There were a lot of people congratulation and laughing with him, which really ticked me off. A few people had started to disagree, including me, when I had to go out. I came back and the wank had started. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Really, I wasn't going to post them. But honestly for me, it wasn't the fic, which could have just been a lack in judgment, or the mod posting it without looking at it throughly, because regardless of her lapse in judgment, it wasn't meant to be mean or spiteful. For me it was the post that called attention to all of this. It was gloating and gleeful that the recipient was upset by it. Sure, did RR overreact. Maybe. But if you read the rest of her post, you could see she was having RL issues and the author should have shown some compassion and just apologized on her journal and that would've been it. Instead, there was a lot of OMG GO ME and YES I hurt a FANGIRL! That was mean and spiteful and no one is going to convince me otherwise.

	I think it was probably more that his feelings and ego were hurt by her reaction than that he was actually glad that he hurt a fangirl. I think he's sincere there. Sincere and self-centered. /my thoughts on arrmaitee (Reply to this)(Parent)

	...wow. Considering how low my opinion of them already was, the fact that it just went down even more is pretty sad. The funny thing about apologies? People have a tendancy not to believe them if you don't make them immediately, or if you made comments that almost immediately detract from any credibility you might have had.

...

Yeah, that makes his apology now SO meaningful and obviously heartfelt.

You know what? He isn't sorry in the slightest. He's only sorry that so many people think he's a fucktard and are openly saying it. Loudly.

I'd like to think maybe he'll learn something from this. How it feels to be the one being shit on and called out, and how his victim must have felt as she read that story and suddenly felt horrible.

But, I doubt it.

	I get the feeling that if anyone gives him shit over this in the future, his response will be "But I apologized! whine You don' get to give me a hard time about it because I apologized! whine I ~~lied and~~ said I was sorry, so now you have to forget it and act like it never happened!"

	What? Now, see, being squicked by necrophilia, rape, and chan is pretty normal. Being horrified by the mere presence or mention of apple pie, happy laughter, and fuzzy kittens in a totally non-sexual atmosphere... that would be a bizarre list of squicks. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Another case of not being sorry for what you've done but rather only that you got called on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	calliope14 2007-01-02 12:07 am UTC (link)
	It's the biggest non-apology ever. An actual apology would go like, "I'm sorry I fucked up, I can't imagine what I was thinking and there is no excuse for my actions." I'm sorry for what I did is not the same as I'm sorry you didn't like it. (Reply to this)(Parent)
