Narcissam vs. the SQ
From Fandom wank wiki
Narcissam's friend submitted a fanfic to the Sugar Quill. It was rejected. The author wasn't happy. Neither was Narcissam, and she posted a rant in her LiveJournal.
Why was the story rejected? Was it:
- Because it hinted at Harry/Hermione?[1]
- Because the other stories were better-written?
- Because it had already been beta-read?[2]
- Because it had a boring summary and no one read it?[3]
...Or perhaps, Narcissam suggested, it was because the mods got drunk and did things randomly.[4]
The mods didn't like that suggestion. After some more wrangling, they booted her. Then they shut down the forums, and booted her friends for good measure. Oops.

Quotes
- "So now that it has been established that the 'selective' archive known as the Sugar Quill selects fics by getting drunk and randomly clicking on summaries that look kinda cool, I doubt there is much else to say." -- Narcissam [5]
- "Let's end this right now. I don't like you. I think you're rude and obnoxious, and was going to send you a PM this evening telling you that we're removing your story entirely from our archive. I'd actually appreciate it if you didn't post here anymore. I don't know you personally, but dealing with you online is giving me a headache.
That's why. Demoting you was the only way I could keep from calling you names on your Live Journal. I needed a way to let off steam." -- Zsenya [6]
