Here via metafandom. Yes, you have iterated several of my own thoughts (it's almost like we're related! *g*).

I found this so hurtful on all the levels you mentioned and particularly to the storyfinder responders who are certainly a bunch of hard-working folks who are doing favors by replying. I worry that responders will slack off trying. I also hate the fact that when I read a post asking for a story by a poster I don't happen to recognize I start to wonder if it's real, as in, that's my first thought. At my age, I really resent those last little bits of innocence being torn from me, yanno?

*shakes head* What she did feels mean to me, too.
