Dana must be a member of an eeevil cabal. That's usually what fandom kerfuffles are about.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought they just had the cabal kerfuffle. What's topic #2?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hey, speaking of kerfuffles, I just found out I'm hated by a whole group of Nikita people.
They hate you? There's a bunch of people out there wasting their time hating you? For your writing? Sweet weeping mother of madness.
Fandom is fun, ain't it?
It's crazy like a fox. Did you read this ? Sca-reee.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, ita, remember that time I told someone that her homophobic and disturbing drabble was homophobic and disturbing?
Apparently she has minions.
And Fay, that's just...ack. And not to be all mememe, but I feel like pointing Nikita people towards stuff like that every once in a while. Because if they think I'm mean and crazy? They have no idea how crazy people can get. Stupidheads in their stupid glass houses.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As I remember it, that drabble was ... lemme think .. homophobic and disturbing.
Some of the most undeserving people get minions. Why is that?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Apparently they've gone off and formed an Idiot Cabal.
I don't think they picked the name themselves.

Good god, Fay. In what universe is that sort of thing considered acceptable? That's a death threat.
I hope the recipient forwarded it to the police.
Dana: homophobes have minions? How marvelous.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I keep misreading that as "homophones," which makes the conversation far more interesting.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I read "Two Ghosts," and while it may be a good Alias-fic, it doesn't work as original fiction. Too often I literally can't tell what's going on, simply on the physical level, let alone interpret the emotional or psychological import of the actions, conversations, hallucinations, and/or memories.
The sentences are lovely, but that doesn't make a story.

Good essay by destina about fanfic writers and public critique.
