I have to say I find the background stories and real life stories of the superheroes far more interesting that the superheroing stuff. That's one of the reasons I'm drawn to fanfiction - primarily it is about the people and not their big fights.
If the book didn't talk about their superheroing at all, I wouldn't like it either, though. But we see these women acting as heroes - fighting skrulls, cleaning up after Katrina, etc.
I think it's an interesting blend. Also, just so I'm clear, I never thought that you were dismissive of this story. After you asked me to talk about it, I went to the internet and was dismayed to find the overwhelming reaction - even before the story came out - was people crying misogyny.
