It's not being a fic snob at all - in fact, it's being respectful and tolerant of the rights of others to write fic that doesn't mesh with our interpretation of the show.
I fully agree that there are some great writers out there (and in here) but what I like best about the people that I've talked to in this fandom are those of you who can disagree with a character interpretation, pairing, plausibility of plot and so on but either keep your disapproval respectful (or at least mock in private) or simply choose not to read the fic rather than feeling some overwhelming need to convince the author of their mistake.
And I'm not talking about people who just didn't like something as much as the last fic or think maybe it would have been better if... blah blah blah concrit... and say so respectfully. I'm talking about public mocking. I'm talking about people who absolutely can't stand, I dunno, Toby/Margaret fic and then go read it just so they can tell the author that he or she is off their rocker.
That was a weird little mini-rant that came out of nowhere. I need coffee...
