LOL! I forget about my 'friends only' post half the time, even though it's the first thing that comes up in my journal.
Actually *risks being defriended by everyone on LJ*, lots of people refer to ff.net at "The Pit." I didn't coin the phrase myself at all. I don't by a long shot claim to speak for everyone who uses that term. For me, it's because if I go to ff.net and search 24 stories, I might have to wade through three pages of stuff about Jack and Chloe (or god, Jack and Ramon) before I even find a Jack and Renee story. And even then, that Jack and Renee story might be pretty terrible.
However, I'm sure you're right that there are plenty of lovely stories over at ff.net. There's kind of a recathon going on at het_reccers right now, and many of the fics recced there are linked to ff.net. Again, speaking only for myself, I find that I'm not willing to wade through everything there in order to find the few stories that I would probably want to read. I don't have that kind of time. I hope that made sense!
Also, feel free to be argumentative in my journal, not that this was argumentative at all. Unless you're going to say something bad about Renee, which I know would be highly unlikely, coming from you;)
