Or reading the source material. So it's actually making a 'rational' fanfic based on fanfic of the series, without rationality or first hand knowledge.
Now a \*truly\* rational actor would have derived Harry Potter from first principles and furthermore
for the first time in months i did actual work on possible text for a book about the rationalists, and realised to my sorrow that i probably couldn't actually include the phrase "cursed slab of pony fucking"
You didn’t mention Harry Potter in your list of fanfics we shame for,
which leads me to suspect that you don’t object to mocking HPMOR but
instead object to the recent post mocking the lesbian mind-control horse
erotica posted to the /r/rational subreddit. Is that right?
Hey, if lesbian mind-controlled horses are your fetish, I have no
problem with that (so long as you don’t actually harm any lesbian
horses, of course). But don’t call it rational fiction if you don’t wish
to be sneered at.

Isn’t mocking bad fics something of a local sport in the fanfic-writing community?
Uh-huh. Once we start doing that we’ll get right on stopping it.
Yes!
why are you such a fucking snow flake????????
