Well, the comicversers I speak to (via LJ anyway) on a semi-regular basis are the ones who *don't* give me the vibe that they have a problem with movieverse, so I can't say I hang out with any comicverse authors who evince this kind of attitude (though Alara and I have gone a few rounds on the subject, I don't think she thinks that movieverse=bad. I just like to argue and think there was definitely room for debate in her comments on the subject and I hope she's taken them in that spirit, rather than as some sort of personal thing *g*). And I think that the early movieversers who talked about L/R as the "pairing that ate fandom" were the writers who came from comicverse.
I could be wrong about that.
I freely admit that the whole fic side of fandom was new to me when I joined XMMFF back in August 2000. I was used to discussion newsgroups and basically knew one person when I started posting my fic there. I have never been involved in any 'clique' or anything in X-fandom, but I have discussed the fandom and its vagaries ad nauseum with many other fans over the past two years (I've got a jones for meta. I admit it).
My impression comes mainly from reviews of my own (and other movieverse writers') stories on FF.net, reading the X-Fan message boards, and talking to other movieverse writers, not all of whom are L/R (hi Min). And there does seem to be a lot conflation of movieverse with L/R, as in "all movieverse is L/R" (with its attendant corollary, 'and all L/R is crap') in those places.

And now I'm just rambling.
