I've had a run-in or two with the darling 'writer' you've mentioned, and I know of a few others who feel the same as I do - my skin crawls when something from her appears in my inbox and inevitably I have the urge to throw something at my screen.
I make an effort to read everything, though her stories are lost on me. I read this latest one out thanks to that train-wreck mentality that seems to strike me so early in the morning and it was atrocious. Not even just bad, but atrocious. Still, I can usually get through 'bad' fic and shrug it off as 'just not my tastes' but when the author so clearly thinks they're Shakespeare incarnate I get tempermental.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you're definitely not alone (and as evidenced, there are many more of us who feel repulsion by her fic) and those people who praise her talents...well, look at the source of the praise and you'll understand. ;)
