yeah, re: the OSC thing. My girl read/loved a lot of the earlier books, telling me how I should read them, until she learned of that bs, and lost interest too. I guess I'm glad I never read them so I don't have to be disappointed.
I don't really write a lot of fanfic myself, outside of a few fandoms--no matter how much I love the universe. Like I never really planned to write any VC fic, just read it. It doesn't bother me so much as a writer as it does as a creative, intelligent person (not to sound big-headed, lol). I know most people would react the same way as me (or the person you referenced in your post), but I'm just very opinionated, and intolerant towards stupidity and (lol, hypocrite) intolerance.
Whether it affects me directly or not, when I see people acting in a rude or childish or arrogant manner, it just turns me off completely.
And yeah, luckily most of the writers/creators in my fandoms not only allow fanfic, but encourage it :D
