I won't hold writing a continuation fic against you. When you post a
real Ranma fanfic (ie, not spam, an SI, dark, an xover, or a
continuation fic) I will give it my fair consideration.

Continuation fics get deleted because they have, by nature, no point. 

A

writer who writes a continuation fic really isn't writing a fanfic, 

he's

engaging in mental masturbation; feels good, but is ultimately
pointless.

Hey, Mr. Critic,

Your comment was not C&C.  It was an expression of personal POV about
fics, one that nobody asked you about.  Its one thing if you float 
that comment on its own.  Its a different matter if you post it in
response to somebody's fic.  Its bad form to do so.  It can easily
be construed as a "You suck" comment, and some may take offense.

Actually, Gubby's post was C&C.  It was his commentary on why he would 
never read WUE, and he is perfectly entitled to it.  I don't take 
offense at what Gubby says; negative commentary is part of the price an 
author pays for writing.  

Now, I do not say that Gubby's commentary was well thought-out, useful 
or influencing.  However, it was commentary of a sort, and I don't 
object to it.

Gubby, feel free not to read WUE.  I take no offense.
