AtD Wiki

[Smoke Teff]

Sorry to curmudge at y'all but I'm reading *AtD *at the moment, along with
the annotations on the *AtD *wiki...

About 50% of the material really shouldn't be there. Somehow it's largely a
forum to masturbatorily (yet anonymously, which seems contradictory
somehow) 1) demonstrate close reading that's shallow or reckless or both,
or 2) wax rhapsodic and editorial about how much the annotater likes the
novel/ist (e.g. 'This 'Skip' episode is not to be skipped or skimmed; it
sets ATD's readers briefly aglow with sweetness and light — and sadness.)

And an uncomfortable percentage of the more informative annotations are
also largely a waste of time to read.

Anybody else find this? I used the annotations for *GR, M&D*, *IV, BE...*seem
to remember them mostly being much better than this.
