Ah, ok. In that case, I bow to your superior knowledge of how that part of fandom works. I'm one of those hermit fans who is very, very into fanfic, but not super into the social side of fandom. AO3 is home for me, largely. I visit tumblr, but don't really get involved there, and twitter is foreign territory.

I can definitely believe that twitter brings out the purity wank, though. Sorry you have to deal with that. :/
