...has usefully reminded me just how many foul little pieces of human-for-zoological-identification-purposes-only scum there are in fandom. I was in danger of forgetting.
Yeah, should have remembered that. But any time I see a chance of someone actually reading and commenting on one of my stories, I lose balance. Call it pathetic if you want, but it matters to me.
Oh man, the only time I've seen an anon meme go well as there was an anon art-crit meme once and for whatever reason, the artists played nince even as anons AND knew the difference between con-crit and bashing.
With that one exception, I've never seen an anon crit mem not dissolve into personal attacks on certain authors. -_- It's sad -_-
I've also never understood why anon. A lot of times it seems if you can't say it under your own name, maybe it shouldn't be said, you knoow.

I've only seen one flistie link to the meme, and hers hadn't gotten any comments at all. No desire to look at that kind of thing, TBQH.
