emmagrant01This post was entirely tongue-in-cheek. I was actually flattered to see that someone listed LMH on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fanfic_hate! I mean, if you scan some of the posts, you'll see it's in some great company!
That comm is, ironically, a huge REC LIST for all the fandoms that get flamed there. Think about it: almost all of the posts are along the lines of, "Everybody loved Fic X, but I hated it!" or, "I hate everything ever written by Writer Y and I don't understand why everybody else fangirls her!" I've actually found some great reads just by scanning the posts there.
People are more than entitled to their opinions, and that comm gives them a place to express a sentiment they're obviously embarrassed to express using their real names. I do know what it feels like to hold an unpopular opinion and feel like I have to bite my tongue about it around everyone else, just to avoid getting into arguments constantly. I am, after all, a liberal in a conservative state.
So, go ahead and post your anonymous comments onfanfic_hate, if it makes you feel better! And thanks in advance for all the great recs! ;-)
