Got this email. It's subject was fanfiction, so I figured it was a question. The email content had one line:

do you write fanfiction.

No question mark.

I dislike getting email without proper salutation and punctuation. It's one thing from a friend b/c you can ignore that. But a stranger tends to make me suspicious.

I answered anyway, saying yes, I wrote fanfiction, specifically slash.

The guy (it's a guy) said he's been wanting a het story and no one will write what he's looking for.

So I said that it all depends on the people involved.

He said he wants a sex story between Sam Carter and 17-year old Cassie's boyfriend, Dominic.

Erm, I said that he was barely in one episode and the pairing doesn't really give me anything.

He asked if I'd write it anyway.

I said I'm sorry, no.

And he replied with one word:

asshole

ROTFLMFAO! I had a feeling this loser would make me laugh. :)

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?)

Well that's good for a LOL
