Caught sight of a tweet by LKH re fanfic policy. In response, I replied with this (have not received any response...yet?). And couldn't help myself so I went to see her other tweets. I really should have known better because then I got to read this and though she doesn't agree with Gabaldon's analogies to criminals/rapists, she does feel similarly.

After a second of a reaction of disgust and disappointment, I realized I wasn't really surprised. Oh, LKH. I love you and hate you with a paradoxical and startling lack of passion.

Maybe it's more that I have become resigned to my feelings about you.

Gabaldon is really the same as LKH when it comes to Mary Sue-ness. Maybe even worse, as she seems to have problems seeing her characters as purely fictional; surely a symptom of the Mary Sue.

And ya, of course she doesn't address the pertinent points as she's just wrong and that would be like admitting it. I really think this stems from insecurity and not some moral bullshit stance as she claims.
