There's an author in the Man from U.N.C.L.E. fandom that writes everything that I hate - o.o.c, AUs, tooth-rotting fluff - and ordinarily, I'd just scroll passed stuff like that. BUT OMG SHE IS EVERYWHERE. She's just so damn prolific. One of my favourite archives has a "random story" feature and sometimes it'll be her stories a few times in a row before I get to something I can read. Occasionally, I'll start a fic, dislike it, get a sinking feeling, scroll back to check on the author and - yep! there she is as a 'collaborator' or the fic is 'inspired by' or 'for' her. I know it's stupid and petty and ridiculous (there are plenty of other people out there writing similar stuff in the fandom, and plenty of people who like what she writes, and she's perfectly entitled to write and post) but every time I see the screen name I get this irrational surge of "get off my lawn!" feeling.



... ... well, it is a random fandom annoyance.
... ... I have never, ever, otherwise wanted somebody to STOP liking things I like.

Oh man, there was a fic writer like this in my main fandom for several years. The only pairing she wrote fic for was my NoTP, and she wrote - I swear to god I just checked her AO3 and this is the actual number - 971 fics for this pairing. NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE.

So as the fandom started to thin out, there was well over a year where all of the community fic round-ups would be, like, at least 50% her fics.

And I know - as you say - that she's totally entitled to write and post as much as she wants, and she undoubtedly made some people out there happy with her fic. But I still frequently wanted to yell "Jesus, can you give it a rest!?" at her.
