I think I missed that one! I usually try to keep my finger on the wank pulse, so to speak.
It was here, on LJ, back in the day, before my time here. It was in one of those anon communities. The mod posted a different fandom every week and response was kind of tepid until she posted TXF. All hell broke loose. Everyone who ever participated in the fandom anywhere must have shown up at some point. It made me feel uncomfortable. I say critical things about fic here but I try not to be rude or make it personal. If I fail, I assume someone will let me know (looks around nervously).
I always thought the fanfic writer blacklist was horrible. Luckily not too many people took it seriously, but there was so much bile in the fandom for a time.
Can you tell me more about it. PM me if you want.
We are lucky to still have good fic being written for us.
