Eriflee says the OOC was so strong he closed the fic, but upon seeing the reception went back and read it and was hooked
Anon adds that Frac had memorable scenes line the SEAL pasta and the skittles scene
Some back-and-forth about the ending and people wanting fluff
‘Frac is dead to us’
Belle was a weak point in the story
Someone pretends(?) to be Frac, more back-and-forth about ‘drama’
Eriflee comments about EiS teaching ‘the importance of human emotion and inner dialogue’, which spawns a shitshow between an alleged ‘Frac’ and several anons criticizing Eriflee for having shitty writing in the first place. Eriflee and ‘Frac’ talk, giving such lines as:
'just got sick of the people who were taking it way too seriously, trying to analyse every word and write me essays worth of criticism as if to show that THEY deserved to have all the internet 'fame', because clearly they cared far more about the motivations and literary details of the story than i did.'
More trolling and less subtle impersonating
"Outsider” recounts impressions of popular pics. Criticizes Frac for namefaggotry
Anon responds complaining about Frac cutting corners in exposition by having characters talk to themselves instead of ‘showing’

Discussion of the Frac ‘drama’. Link to some artfag lambasting EiS, but evidently being very unfamiliar with the origins and how chans work
Anons scoff at the drama and say its trumped up, also debate whether some of Frac’s melodramatic comments were sarcastic or not
Anon asks ‘does r9K deserve the popularity’?
Responses:
‘no way in hell’
‘author certainly worked hard to get maximum exposure, in that sense yes’
Long-winded response about how popularity doesn’t equal quality-
‘Twilight is an atrocious piece of shit, but it touches people. People can like what they want… I just wish people wouldn’t settle on mediocre work’
‘it was only popular because it was one of the first’
Thread re-rails into discussion about whoring fics, with both fierce detractors and fierce supports split pretty evenly

Later, anon prints R9K as a book
Admittedly pro R9K jerking here, as anons compliment the book and thank the OP for linking the site etc
‘EiS deserves it!’ to recount one comment

Later still, anon claims to be reading EiS for the first time, and is disappointed. ‘Is the fame self-feeding?’
Anons reply that its fame sprang from the close connection with the chan audience
Anon observes in a Tempest debate that popularity isn’t quality, but ‘if it is popular, the majority of people think it is good’

Anon creates fanart, calling it ‘a fantastic story’
Anons post a variety of EiS fanart, wonder what other stories are good
Anon asks ‘Was EiS really that good, looking back? Or just hype?’
Responses:
‘No, just hype’
‘It was there at the right time, and was good enough’
‘Bad ending, but it was a favorite of mine. Great by fanfic standards’
(Spawns comment about characters being interesting but OOC)
Long winded response ‘It got me into the fandom, drew me in with cutesy GT and kept me with emotions. But it really doesn’t hold up on a reread, it definitely is a ‘first read only’ fic. Still powerful though'
‘After Belle came, it unraveled’

Anon asks if EiS is good. Anon responds that he doesn’t like it but many do. Details his criticism of the first half being disjointed, and the second half in which Frac can spin her own plot relying on cheap tactics
Anon on reading EiS: ‘never get those hours of my life back’

‘I think we can all agree’ Frac characterized Elsa shittily, but Anna was OK
Minor theoretical character back-and-forth

>>98490
Anon discuss a non-EiS frac fic. Anon jabs at writing sins, and another claims Frac is not mentally capable of fixing them
Some jerking off about how overly angsty a GT is; ‘R9KEiS: the post’
Back-and-forth about how everyone hates Frac, but some people want to be Frac. Continues with ‘I want to see Frac and Save’ vs ‘I want to stab Frac and Save’

Joke about getting a kid to read EiS spawns a thread-long argument about Frac and characterization. This is one of the main ones I remember, and it certainly wasn’t the first, as I see myself ITT saying ‘this has been discussed a hundred times before’. I’ll try to recap this:
Anons immediately roll eyes, responding ‘headshot!’ and ‘the OOC was unpalatable’
Anon replies that the OOC was the whole point; it was an experiment ‘what if Elsa was NEET?'
Anons jump back responding that she was changed so much that she was no longer Elsa at all; she was poorly written, etc
Anon gives a list of similarities, they are both withdrawn, love anna, changed by Anna, etc
Anon fires back that by those criteria they are Elsa too
Anon argues that the conception of Elsa as inherently introverted/reclusive is flawed, and it is just a result of her situation
These same talking points go on
Anon jokes that EiS was written for tumblr reblogs, joke continued with ‘people have a fetish for pisspoor writing’
Talking points continue back and forth

Anon changes subject and asks a neutral question about nature vs nurture (setting) with characters.
Anon responds (off topic?) that EiS was ‘garbage in every possible way I can think of’, listing several facets of lit.
Same talking points from pt. 1 come out, with anons saying that some changes just are too much, making a character unrecognizable. Debate spins into broader terms and fizzles into Punzposting

Anon wants an EiS book
Other Anon mocks the concept of wanting more EiS
Anon wonders aloud, ‘When did we turn on Frac?’ The fic was wont to set the thread on a roar. Was one of the best in the fandom’
Very civil debate, as one anon agrees, but another states it wasn’t even close to the best
I state that it was one of ‘the best’ only because the bar was set very, very low
Anon complains of the ostentatious angst in the later chapters
Discussion turns to general rail against self-inserts and shitty AUs in other fics

Anon says he loves a part of the Elsanna dialogue in EiS
Anon condescendingly replies about ‘loving anything in EiS’
Anon tells second Anon to fuck off
Anon defends that it wasn’t bad, but the ending wasn’t pleasant, to which other anons agree, citing it as rushed and disjointed (but at least closure)

Unlinked Frac mentions that don’t involve EiS:
-One mention of a different Frac fic
-One mention in a Nostalgia general about Frac using some specific pic
-‘Is Frac really here?’ in /soc/ apropos the pseudoFrac mentioned before
-Many instances of ‘Who is Frac? Who is Save? Are they hot?’
-Frac used the word ‘deadpan’ a lot? (me talking in Writing general)
-Anon wants a fic shipping tard!Frac with some other tards
-Discussion about anon fighting Frac and Save. Some say anon loses, some say anon wins
