Oh yeah, I was part of the Twilight hatedom for a bit too. I think in my case a lot of it was (over)reacting to the fear that people would think I was "like those other girls", the same way I loudly denounced Barbies and showed off how much I played with lego and toy trains as a kid. Seeing how cruel other people were about it was part of why I backed off. I guess it's how we grow as people? tl;dr I feel you :(
And ha, yeah, I was also late to the Firefly fandom, so I never really squeed about it with anyone, just quietly enjoyed it. I've found a handful of good fics on Ao3 since, but it never felt like there was an abundance to sift through.
Thanks for posting these! It's interesting to think about :)
