In 2004, Lil_Princess incident happened. According to BleedingRain8281 on AIM, the timeline for this is "I'd say that she started around September, 2004. She ended in November....two months to get 2000 reads. 1000 reads a month, about 30 reads a night...that's alot." This incident caused a stir in fandom because Lil_Princess was writing deliberate badfic, making friends with people and otherwise trying to make the point that Good Charlotte fan fiction could suck but the author could be popular because quality did not matter. What mattered was who you knew. This meant that the community tolerated and encouraged poorly written drivel. This message was recieved but not happily so. It left a lot of people with a dirty taste in their mouths.
