User blog comment:Gumball2/Is The Hate For “Singled Out” Justified?/@comment-24763540-20180107182910

I like how you specifically pointed out that the fic "butchered Lincoln's character", but completely failed to mention how EVERYBODY ELSE'S character was butchered. Not to mention butchered characterization would be the least of the fic's problems.

I would say it does deserve the hate, if only because, in the grand scheme of things... it means nothing: Hatefics are so overdone that they cannot be salvaged, specially if the way it tries to do new things (like this fic did) does nothing to help the situation.

I just wish a good fic had joined the fic ranks, rather than a bad one. (Says the guy who basically has over a hundred or so bad stories under his belt.)
