Just found a very embarrassing thread (not saying where) in which some zine editor wonders where all the female fan fic authors are, then proceeds to either slag off or patronise rigid pretty much everyone who responds, even to just ask a question about the zine - such as what the editor means by "semi-pro", which turns out to be different from what the rest of the universe means by it. The best bit is where said editor tells a writer "your grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc, and [sic] way too below the level I look out for when commissioning" and then describes that writer's approach as "bizaar". Why anyone would want to work with them, let alone be edited by them, after reading that thread I have no idea. :-P

(Sadly, the thread has calmed down too much now to be worthy of fan_wank.)
