a) No, not in the fandom you refer to but I have seen similar sentiments (the one that comes to mind at the moment is actually a bit of the reverse - a picture of Elladan and Elrohir that got blasted for it being twincest when it could be taken just as normal brotherly affection). It really seems people expect romantic implications in everything in-fandom and when it's not there they go nuts (one way or another). Twits they are.
b) Oneshots are good. Multi-parters may hold a person for longer but oneshots are a quick fix that can be read several times, plus they are easier to come by because not everyone can invest time and energy into multi-parters. They have different strengths and any idiot who thinks a oneshot isn't a real fic is, well, and idiot fanbrat.
