    <content type="html">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. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, she said my story (the sequel to &lt;a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/888283" target="_blank"&gt;Reality In Reverse&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/888299" target="_blank"&gt;Reality in Spades&lt;/a&gt;) was well-written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=riverfox&amp;ditemid=16277" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
