FFA is frequently a trash fire, but sometimes it's so cathartic.

(There's a current dissection of a fic I viscerally hated, and ... I wouldn't put it that way myself, but IT'S NOT JUST ME, THANK YOU.)

It's a Jyn/Cassian fic—well, a longggg Cassian fic by someone who dislikes both Cassian's arc in the movie and Jyn personally. I've tried reading it multiple times, because it's well-written, but every time I try, I just get annoyed all over again.

*Looks at FFA today*

I really thought this was building to ‘a boner’, not hope.

Some of the comments are hilarious though.

Heeeh, I'd somehow missed that one! I got a kick out of all the others, though.

Huh, interesting discussion... whoa, it’s a very weird feeling seeing my name in that thread (especially since I have no memory of commenting on those stories).

[anghraine]

On the bright side, it means you're implicitly one of the authors they enjoy! But I was surprised, too.

And yeah, I thought it was a reasonably good discussion, for what it is—not just screaming hate but explanations of why it bothered them so much in terms of both Jyn and Cassian (and RO generally).
