My problem with badfic posts in general is somewhat different: I have a hard time getting worked up about any badfic these days. I guess in part that's because we've had people deal with so much ludicrously over-the-top stuff - including, yes, me with Clbr__n and l-by-l - that there's not really a 'worse' to hit. "This time twice as many canons are brutalised!" Yeah, but that just means it's the same, but twice as long.

The thing I do occasionally still get worked up on is people messing up, not the characters, but the backstory. So when they blithely assume they can bring Luthien forward in time from her first death and nothing will change - yeah, that gets me. Oh, so does meddling with Finrod, but that's just me.

But even then, that's almost entirely in Middle-earth. Other canons, I don't really get angry about. It's a bit sad, really.

(Oh, and in this case, I don't even know the canon. But as a generic explanation...)
