So I Heard You Like LotRips
Our saga begins withazewewish complaining about the warning system used by lotrips, a community that lists new stories in LotRiPs fandom. Which is fair enough as the moderators define warnings to be anything in the fic that readers should be aware of.
But then it devolves into: OMG STOP LABELLING MY FIC WITH LABELS THAT ARE NOT IN THE HEADER! and MY FIC IS NOT ANGST WHY ARE YOU LABELLING IT ANGST?! and OMG YOU ARE LINKING TO LOCKED POSTS DONT YOU KNOW THAT'S CARDINAL SIN #1 and OMG THE HORROR YOU ARE LISTING WHAT TYPE OF AU A STORY IS! and OMG YOU ARE SPOILING THE STORY
And it wouldn't be fun if there isn't a threat in the whole mess:
Knock if off or stop listing us all. WE are the authors here, NOT you. What WE want people to see about our stories is what WE post in OUR OWN HEADERS. YOUR opinion on what should or shouldn't be there DOESN'T MATTER. Such things about a story is what individual feedback is for, NOT what people should see before they read something!
And another, courtesy of Nverland
As was stated, you have the right to comment, you do not have the right to defame others work by your own opinions. And as such lotrips and msilverstar have both been banned several places already today.
The lotrips posts start here and here.azewewish has a
whatcha guys think about this?' post. LJ'smetafandom has a whole slew of links about this bruising of authorial sensibilities here
Fic-labeling and warning wank: can spring and the REVIEWS ARE EBIL chorus be far behind?
(Found on a combination ofwank_report and metafandom on LJ. Hat-tip to the 'mouse I'm blatantly swiping it from, and apologies to miraba. Couldn't pass the title up.)
