Are you using a Time-Turner? There hasn't been any decent wank in that fandom since 2004.

{{not op}}

Is that when you left? 'Cause there's still plenty of wank. I no longer spend time in the fandom as I used to-- I've been away for, what, a year now?-- but there was plenty of wank when I was there. A lot of arguments over the whole top/bottom debate and certainly a lot of strife over the stuff OP mentioned.

Why, just a few months ago a pretty well-known fan threw a bitch fit for some reason or other (can't remember) and deleted two somewhat popular communities she co-moderated in a fit of anger. And recently a friend of mine was banned from the a LDWS community because she sent one of the mods a PM expressing her concerns that the challenge was rigged. Instead of trying to reassure her they just banned her. Didn't even send her a return message. There was also a pretty recent argument that broke out because a non-BNF wrote a bad-review about a BNF's fic on her review/rec/etc community. She received serious wank, from what I'm aware).

No, I'm still active. I remember the comm deletion wank. I haven't been following LDWS, but wow. I think bad reviews can lead to wank no matter what because everyone has different preferences. Someone leaving a bad review isn't just insulting the author, but also the readers who like that author, so of course they will want to defend their own taste.

The top/bottom war will never die and is a part of every slash fandom, more is the pity. That's probably caused more division in fandoms than any other issue. It's ridiculous.

I guess I've just had the opposite experience in finding the H/D community to be very welcoming and supportive. I'm always perplexed when I hear "the H/D fandom is so horrible and wankish, etc."

I don't get the arguments over the top/bottom aspect. I always found it way more interesting when characters would switch, instead of just being consigned to a role forever. I guess that's just me but whatevs~

I've never actually seen it in any fandom I've participated in. Sure, people have preferences, but nobody argues that A/B is right while B/A is WRONGITY WRONG WRONG!
