"We were given a rose-colored program with panelists’ names and bios at the door. They all went by their online handles: Angstgoddess003, Hopey, Lolashoes, Psymom. The forces behind Twilight fan fiction are women over thirty. Many of them are mothers."
The inaccuracies just go downhill from there. I'm quite a bit younger than thirty, as were many other panelists. The light that you painted the panel in was, quite frankly, a little insulting. Many of us never discussed smut, many are known for stories in which smut isn't a prevalent factor, and yet I can't help feeling as though many of the items presented in regards to the panel and fanfiction were very self-serving to your personal beliefs. I'm not a member of the Twilighted staff, and I suppose, as such, was never contacted by anyone in reference to a discussion, which I would certainly have offered in light of your very skewed interpretation of the panel I happened to have participated in.
Nevertheless, you surely can't blame PsyMom for her reluctance to encourage the entirely opinionated and somewhat inaccurate representation you intended to convey here.
