You know, one of the things that I like about your fiction is the occasional presense of women, and that they are real and good (or sometimes, real and bad) and not whiny or stereotypical. They are not the main focus, because you don't write het, or gen, or f/f... you write m/m romance stories. That you are a talented enough writer to also include plots and an incredible variety of sub-genres, and then add in well-rounded females as well, just make us very, very lucky.
'net trolls... sad that they waste their time with such negativity.
And racist because there are no flying chipmunk aliens!
Although, quetion? How come it's not sexist when there's a guy asshole involved? I mean, you'd think with all the stories out there of drunk, abusive molesting fathers there would be grounds...
*glomps* Don't let the muggles get you down. ^_^;;
You're a bad feminist, Meggie. How dare you denegrade your own sex like that. For shame. tsktsk
People read way too much into way too many irrevelant things. It's a goddamn slash fairy tale, not a dissertation on the proclivity of women to be selfish and petty. *rolls eyes* People are so weird.
But... but fairy tales are meant to be archetypal. Because... we recognize archetypal characteristics of individuals through the depiction of like characters... so they are sort of necessary... and important... and...
Ow. Head hurts.
Man, FP.com is sort of like a school for the retarded, where the (okay, it has to be said) much less talented students get to tear your work apart. Hello? They are less talented. How can they possibly hope to "teach" you anything? (As a lightening bolt from the gods strikes me for my hubris, heh.)
