lierdumoaI got some feedback today for Bitter Water from ff.net. Whoever left the comment said -- "I would ... entreat you not to make this slash. At least not extreme slash, please, because that would slightly sour the story. I BEG you at least not to make it touchy-feely, rather, verbal and emotional at most."
*snort*
Like that's going to happen. I mean, I wrote slash into the story summary. I even put asterisks around the word. Honestly, when I read this bit of feedback I just wanted to start giggling hysterically. Don't make it slash? The only reason I got into the Harry Potter fandom was for the slash. In fact, the only reason I started writing this story was for the slash. The whole dementor!Severus idea was secondary to my main intention, which was to write a long, epic Sirius/Severus love story.
And "not too touchy-feely"? Well I'm not going to write fluff, if that's what the person was worried about. But if he/she meant touchy-feely as in sex then I'll just have to dissappoint. I live for the porn. I came up with the idea for Bitter Water while trying to develop a really unique idea for a lemon. True, there will be no actual sex in the ff.net version of my fic, but there will be everything leading up to sex (the uncensored version will be posted here and at my website).
I mean - what the hell?!? Did this person think that I would discard my plot in favor of hooking up Sev? I should hope my readers have more faith in me than that. Generally I use sex/slash to add to the plot, not detract from it.
I'm sure anyone reading this is wondering why I left this rant in my lj. Well -- I would have simply told my rant to my reviewer (albeit I'd have been more polite than I'm being here), but whoever it was didn't leave an e-mail address.
Oh yeah, and I took another quiz from quizilla. The colors don't really go with my lj, so I'm posting the results as a hidden link.
It fits me so well! Especially seeing as I am the first person I've heard of ever to write a dementor!Severus fic.
Anyway -- Ta Ta!
