STOP APPROPRIATING REAL WORLD UNFORTUNATE EVENTS FOR YOUR ~TIMELY FANFIC.

Seriously, now. Just stop doing this most unclassy thing.

I've already seen 20 Dead Seals fic, and London Riot fic. None of it was better than generic SAD THING HAPPENS, A MAN IS CRYING fic. Take a look at your life choices, folks, and treat your fellow humans with dignity and respect.

(All I can say is thank goodness I haven't found the cast of Hawaii Five-0, fighting the good fight in Libya yet, because, my god).

HDU my fic where Captain America speaks inspiringly to the people of London and they all disperse peacefully is an instant fandom classic. Then he goes and has a chat with the Queen about democracy and she abdicates.

What fandom was the riots fic in?

Is there a difference between fic reactions to the news and journal post reactions to the news?
