-[[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Fawatson|Florence A. Watson]] and [[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Greer_Watson|Greer Watson]] are sisters who have been in fandom for decades. They are best known on meme for their involvement in “Gay Bashing Dragon Fic Wank” during Yuletide 2011, which you can read about [[w/page/49192965/Yuletide|on our “Yuletide” page]]. For ten years, until it went on hiatus in January 2015, they were also heavily involved with the [[maryrenaultfics.livejournal.com|Mary Renault Fics]] (MRF) community on LiveJournal, a/k/a “Mary's Handmaidens” (no, seriously). It should be noted, however, that //“[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/119610.html?thread=613158458#cmt613158458|The Watsons weren't mods there]], they were just part of the 'approved' inner circle that passed muster with the mods, and white-knighted for some of the comm's policies when they were criticized.”//+[[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Fawatson|Florence A.

 That nonny linked to [[http://maryrenaultfics.livejournal.com/258099.html|this 2009 post on MRF by my_cnnr]], which provides an overview of the mods’ exacting requirements for membership and standards for community participation. Notably, my_cnnr expressed the wish that Renault’s characters “not fall prey to manipulation by those with less commitment to Renault’s ideals than to their own gratification.” That nonny linked to [[http://maryrenaultfics.livejournal.com/258099.html|this 2009 post on MRF by my_cnnr]], which provides an overview of the mods’ exacting requirements for membership and standards for community participation.

Meanwhile, on MRF2, [[http://maryrenaultfics2.dreamwidth.org/919.html|Greer put up a post]] crediting my_cnnr with the banner creation — and totally ignoring my_cnnr complaining several times in comments about the banner being used there at all. Three days later, [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/120047.html?thread=615084015#cmt615084015|a nonny linked]] to [[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Maryrenaultfics_Banners|the Fanlore page for “maryrenaultfics Banners.”]] At the time of the FFA thread, the top of of the Fanlore page said, “These banners are created by my_cnnr, one of the moderators of the community, who would prefer that copies of the images not appear here.” Someone, presumably my_cnnr, removed the art without explanation, but later they were restored, and Greer commented that my_cnnr had been OK with the banners being posted to Fanlore back in 2010.
