Oh hey, you have a delicious? Ooh! Must go look! :D I haven't really plunged into those waters yet, but I'm slowly getting turned onto it as a way of finding new fic! And you might have run across something I haven't ...
while I theoretically believe in the, hmm, 'right' to criticize any art that's put out for public consumption, at the same time not all fanfic'ers are in this game to 'improve their craft' or whatever, and I respect that.
Yeah, that's pretty much me in a nutshell. I believe wholeheartedly that anything out there in the public eye *should* be available for public criticism (just as I believe in theory that fanwork ought to be open to remixing and reficcing just like published works). But when it comes to actual practice -- fandom is supposed to be a *fun* thing, and I don't want to be the person who makes someone else's fannish experience *less* fun. Or turn myself into the epicenter of a wankstorm, of course.
