wiseheartYes, I know I shouldn't let such things get to me, but apparently I was born thin-skinned and will die the same way. So, if you don't want to watch me ranting, don't look behind the tag. This is your only warning.
Because really, what can you do with sy who reads through a 61-chapter-story (so far) and their only comment is to tell you that Character X isn't at all how you portrayed him?
I mean, if they are so unhappy with it, why digging through the whole story? The character was portrayed the same way all the time!
Besides, after nearly 60 years on this planet, almost half the century of which I spent actively writing, I feel entitled to write characters from TV-shows the way I perceive them. I don't need self-important teenieboppers - who could be my grandchildren - to tell me what I ought to write and what way. At my age, certain character treats that might appeal to the younger generation, like rudeness, arrogance and overconfidence, come over as rather negative things. And I do have the right to bloody say so if I want!
Ő write crossovers and AUs in most of my fandoms because I am often unhappy with the way canon turned out. I give my concepts a great deal of thought, do a lot of research and know my facts. So yeah, I really hate pop le who can't appreciate all that hard work and only comment to find fault. Or what they see as fault anyway.

Date: 2014-04-09 12:57 am (UTC)I'll follow ma2d2's fine quotation with one from the inestimable Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of Franklin Roosevelt, whose was often mocked for her "dowdy" appearance: "No one can make me feel inferior without my permission." You are in fine company, my dear friend!
