I hadn't noticed a 'kerfluffle' in the TW fandom -- or rather, a community kerfluffle.
I'm mildly amused.
People take it personally that the mod asks them to limit their posting per day (lot of chapters, short ones, posted 3+ times per day... imagine my flist if everyone did that.... O.o)
quote: From the original post, it sounded like writers were going to be required to have a final chapter count, etc.
(The mod asked that people might consider this, it wasn't a direct order)
Eh.... that would be nice, you know. I actually consider it bad behaviour if you start posting a story before you've finished it (I've done it ONCE, in my early days of Smallville... say, 8 or so years ago). I'm old fashioned that way. I'm sorry if some find it hurtful. I'm a fossilized dinosaur when it comes to fandom, it seems. I'm the old lady with the cat, sitting in her rocking chair, bitching about today's youth...
*wibbles*
But... I've only been in fandom for roughly 10 years... I'm still young and hip, right?
I'm sitting on my hands trying not to comment anywhere else that people getting betas might be a good idea too....
