You Dun Like Fanfic! You H8ters!
Over on torch_wood, sadbhyl has some things to say about the State of the Comm:

torch_wood from the beginning has been open and welcoming of all different forms of expression related to this show, including fanfiction. In the user info for the community, it specifically states, "All Torchwood fanfic is welcome here." Twice polls were taken on the issue of keeping or removing fanfic from the community, and twice the overwhelming response was to keep it (299-181 in the latest poll, taken in December). Due consideration was given to those who didn’t want to be “bombarded” with fic. Not one but two different ways of filtering the community were presented, and the most draconian posting protocol of any fan community out there was implemented to keep a minority of the community from being imposed upon. But still the hate continues. To those who complain about people not following the posting rules, who say, “The instructions are right there in the sticky for the comm,” I would like to point out the bullet list immediately above those instructions which clearly indicate ways to read the community without any fanfic. For those who say, “There’s torchwood_fic to post fanfic in,” I would agree, and also point out that there are other communities for icons, for vidding, and for discussions. If we all went to our preferred communities, what purpose then is torch_wood? \

Apparently some fic-posters are starting to bend and outright break the posting rules, and they're being smacked down. This makes sadbhyl unhappy. Some kudos, some disagreement, for two pages. Oh, and the pipes up, with a rare cool head.
