chaobellAnna, apparently, is a fangirl. Snip from Penumbra characterwank, in which Anna reads the response to a not-so-positive review she leaves a particularly unsavory fanfic.
Aside from the junk, there were a few posts to various mailing lists she subscribed to--one of which was in the midst of a full-blown holy war over some pretentious teenager's less-than-stellar piece of blatant self-insertion fan fiction and why it did or did not suck the big hairy one. Stemming, as Anna soon found out, from her own review of the thing.
