(Different nonnie)

On the writers' forums I used to hang out on, that podfic reader's behaviour would be called "BSP" (Blatant Self-Promotion) and sooner or later someone would tell them to shut up for the love of God. OP, you *might* be bitter, but constant self-pimping by readers or writers is tiresome and obnoxious as hell (especially in a small fandom) and it's very likely many people feel as you do about it.

(Some of the forums I was on would warn or even ban people who behaved like that, if they didn't seem to be adding anything else to the community.)

I hope some people read you fic, and also that this person calms the fuck down.

Oh God, this. We have a BSPer in my small fandom, and it is blatant to the point of hilarity. It's amazing how she manages to squeeze self-recs or otherwise promote herself into every other thing she posts.

Mind you, in her case she got so frantic for attention that she started saying that other authors were overrated. Most of the old-timers got pissed off, discussed it on f-lock, and took a hike. Now what's left are mostly newbies who either don't notice her self-promotion or don't mind it.
