I've Never Understood Pointless Feedback
Have been posting some of my stories at AO3. SG-1 and Doctor Who standalones. It's been great so far. Have a few Kudos that make me feel like I'm accomplishing something. :)
So I get this feedback this morning from a reader who's a Jack/Sam shipper. She says that she doesn't understand what I see in gay fic, be it J/D or Sam/Janet. And she doesn't agree that Jack would ever, ever cheat on Sam.
That said, she said my story (the sequel to Reality In Reverse: Reality in Spades) was well-written.
I'm very flattered for the positive feedback, but the negative feedback (though I don't mind negative feedback) had me puzzled. She's a shipper, yet she read a slash story b/c Jack/Sam was in it. That I don't get. Perhaps she was hoping for a good shipper portrayal or something.
Well, since I can't stand J/S Ship, it wasn't part of the plan. So I still find it odd, although pretty brave, to read something you know you're not gonna like.
Expanding horizons maybe? I dunno. Still, I left a cordial comment. After all, she read and left feedback. It's always a good thing, no matter the content of the feedback (unless you're a troll, then FO, ya know?)
