I can't believe she even admitted that the fics she posted hadn't had a lot of effort go into them. 

Flag worked! I just downloaded a story in PDF form.

I've just tried and it didn't work!  Where did you download the stories from - FF.net, TWCS, or Fictionpad?

Wow, she sounds really bitter. If this is how she feels, then I say good riddance! That bitterness would end up coming through in her stories and who really wants to read that!

But how much bad stuff did she get that made her start being that bitter? Are reviewers/readers really that mean to writers? We've heard similar stuff from 107yearoldvirgin, cutestkidsmom is going to leave the fandom because she got death threats (!)... whatever happened to Don't like it - don't read it?

Yes, unfortunately some readers/reviewers are really that bad. I fully agree, if you don't like the story just MOVE ON, there are plenty of other stories out there. To me, it sounded like she was blaming all of the fandom rather than the ones that caused the problem to begin with and regardless of how upset, bitter or angry she is, that just isn't right.  People that act like this, just need to grow up already! Bullying in any form should not be permitted.

She did say there were a few bright lights.  And sometimes I totally get her. This fandom can be very weird.  So many nice quiet people, but the nasty ones? Are so loud, you don't hear the nice ones anymore.  It is very sad.   

I downloaded the story from Twilighted. I guess Flag only works for that website.

Same here!  I'll probably be never able to read all the fics that I've downloaded.  I'm also team E&B all the way so I cannot read non-canon stories. Well, I can read some non-canon stories BUT NOT E&B's.  There are some great recommendations for Jasper/Bella stories but I just cannot read them (probably not yet).  Probably when I run out of good E&B stories, then I might...   Still saved them anyway just in case I change my mind later.   

I can only read E/B or B/A when it comes to Bella. I ship Jake with a bunch of random characters like Angela and Quil (no joke). Poor Jacob is always a wild card in my stories.  I don't read fics that center on Em/R or any other couple that doesn't involve E or B. I should learn to be less picky. I'm sure I'm missing out on some great smut stuff.
