The HMS STFU - BLAST FROM THE PAST

| | They took the rec down. How the heck it got past everyone at the comm long enough to be posted is beyond me. That it would be rec'd at crack_broom doesn't surprise me, though. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |

| Why take it down?
Yeah, she dis some really horrible things, but does that mean her stories should be blacklisted?
That kinda rubs me the wrong way somehow.
I'd like to think its OK to appreciate a nice piece of artwork on its own merits even if its creator is morally reprehensible. I might not want to give that person my money, depending on how strongly I feel about whatever they have done but yeah, is it wrong to admit they are good at their craft?
I really don't know. Thoughts anyone? | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
| A lot of fics are, but if someone likes it and thinks someone else might get a laugh out of it, eh, why not?
Its the whole 'No reccing because the person is a jerk' angle I was reflecting on. | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

| | But she isn't good at her craft. The fic is fairly mean-spirited and insulting, too. I don't think Sandyclaws or Dallas meant that MsScribe should never be recced - but a fic that is nasty AND bad AND has a history behind it is kind of icky to rec. | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

| Me too, but this made me laugh:
"Strange teenage boys had been following her around and offering her candy all day."
{snort} Hmmm boobies...here have candy. | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
| Candy? Wtf...
Is that an euphemism for something?
Also: I sporfled at the MsScribe rec. That's like reccing Cassandra Claire to an author who got plagiarized by Kaavya Viswanathan. | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

| I think it's a reference to the "I have candy in my van, little boy/girl" stereotype of child molesters.
'S just WEIRD when applied to a teenage girl, though...

| | I had thought, "Maybe she's in Japan on White Day?", but that wouldn't work, because White Day is when people who received gifts on Valentine's Day give something back to the ones who gave them gifts. | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
