* The fic: http://gatorgrrrl.livejournal.com/16619
* Highlights from the fic, in case you don't want to read the whole thing (and why wouldn't you?)
* "I am very sorry to hear that my choice of setting offended you. It was not my intention in the least to treat the Haiti earthquake lightly or to diminish the devastation of it. I tried my best to treat the topic with respect and frankly, I think I did a decent job of it."
* The soundtrack! Also: "When I signed up for Big Bang back in January, I had a completely different story in mind. An SPN gen story, in fact. That idea languished inside my head for a few weeks until I finally gave up trying to force it and moved on. Then the idea of a different J2 AU fic popped into my head, but again, it didn't go anywhere. Then it occurred to me: Why not use current events as the setting? The Haiti earthquake was still in the news and the more I saw about it, the more I wanted to use it until it seemed like the best idea ever. (That, of course, is only my opinion.)"
* "For what it's worth, I apologize."
ETA: Relevant links from amazonziti.
ETA 2: (I'm assuming there's more of this out there, but I don't have the heart to look) "But when I fucking cried over this last night, I cried because all I could think -- ALL I could think -- was of this woman writing a motherfucking 80,000-word story, and unveiling it with terror and excitement first in her mind. And having it blow up so spectacularly in her face."
ETA 3: New apology, fic taken down. "This is the last thing I will be saying about this situation. At this point, there is nothing else I can do. I have acknowledged my mistakes and apologized for the offense and outrage my story caused. I acknowledge that my actions in posting the story have hurt a lot of people. I see now that I failed in so many ways. The fact that this has snowballed in many instances into a free-for-all of hatred is very sad. I regret that so many hurtful things have been said to and about people who had nothing to do with the fic besides reading it. Going beyond the fic to bash me personally and calling me names is expected, if unnecessary, but attacking people just because they happened to like something you didn't is not fair."
