Fanfic critisism - like rape, in a way
(Disclaimer: Reported by a mousie at wank_report. I have nada to do with Buffy/Angel fandom and thus don't know much of the backstory this wank alludes to, but it sure sounds impressive.)

sweptawaybayou makes a vague rant about OOCness and using rape as a plot point in Buffy/Angel fandom, which in comments is revealed to have been sparked off by sexymermaid's fanfic. Friends of her pop up and are a tad irate and upset. There are even disagreements using smilies.

Things really kick off when sexymermaid apparently makes a reaction post to this critisism, (quoted as saying) I didn't know until the worst happened again recently, and my words, feelings, were raped again. The post seems to have gotten a later flock (sniff), but gets referenced here.

There are attempts at summarizing and alluding to past wankery, denounciations and defriending and sexymermaid herself announces all fanfic will now be friends locked, which makes all her friends flock to be supportive and denounce the actions/words of some very thoughtless, petty assholes causing you to close yourself to a lot, to quote one.

Oh, and there are manips. Oh yes. Lots and lots of manips.

*goes back to drooling over the Doctor to cleanse eyeballs*

ETA: From mousie - bullying accusations, more bullying accusations and why using the word 'rape' isn't so bad after all, apparently.

Bits of this fight is apparently now making it to metafandom, which will probably add drama to the proceedings.
