It ended up putting me off her fics entirely, just like in the secret, although that's probably about another writer entirely.

One day a certain fic was just a little too smug for me and I could never enjoy it again. There were a hundred little tells that added up to that moment, each of them irrelevant in themselves.

Only about a year later did I come across some fandom controversy way back that she'd been involved in and I found out I wasn't the only one.

She is a very good writer, in that she has a definite style and the conviction to stick to it, and she takes a lot of care in her writing. But tone matters just as much in longer fics, and hers just wasn't for me. Too po-faced about what in the end are just fanfics. I think I would have more easily overlooked it had she been writing original fiction, but I don't know. I felt the same way about Cloud Atlas.
