...wtf?

"I saw the GAFF-gets-TOSed thread on fandom_wank, which I won't be mentioning by name, and GAFF sucks. According to this other person, not me - I'm just reporting the news! So, yeah, GAFF sucks because of Heywood, who I'm going to pretend I'm not that familiar with, despite giving myself away with a reference to a thread on the IF board. And everyone on GAFF is obsessed with Heywood, and all the Decent, Good and True people at f_w don't like Heywood but are pressured into being Heywood fangirls because GAFF is mean like that, and Heywood really, really sucks, but hey, it's not _me_ saying all this, it's someone else, honestly..."

Ye-es. Quite. I'm guessing 'sockpuppet with a considerable axe to grind,' and almost certainly not the person Ayezur was having a problem with on LJ. (I've never seen GAFF as a haven of idiotic fangirlishness with occasional mass outings to ff.net to TOS some thirteen-year-old's Suefic, and I don't have a problem with Heywood, so I don't really understand the fuss here anyway, but hey.)

Ah, that old fangirl = fan confusion. It's not the level of fannishness that I giggle at, it's the standard of their writing. That would be the difference between the fics I mock and my own, yes. It's really not all that complicated.
