*returns after disappearing for two days* Damn work/sickness. D<
MissMothra: Those fans? Are idiots. Any smart/sane person in a fandom will accept that it's not your cup of tea, and not go crazy over it. I've had plenty of people say they dislike yaoi (or a certain couple I ship), some nicer than others. I try to just smile and listen to thier opinion.
And no, I'm 90% sure that wasn't Terryman 'dying', but something like a hologram T&L were using to figure out thier match stratgedy.
Aelia: Exactly. There's the good fans and the bad ones (and the atshizznit crazy ones). If I were in your shoes at that time, I'd probably focus more and the aesthetics of the art/fic more than the pairing; I LOVE it when people who dislike the pairing of my work still compliment the look of it. Those are my favorite comments.
And if you think the art/fic stinks? Constructive criticism. (I hope you didn't actually say 'this sucks' outright. XD;
Matto: I think Yuri and Yaoi seem to have thier own 'turf' in fandom. Unfortunately, Yuri does get the short end of the stick very often; most of the Yuri art I've seen out there is all-out porn/hentai/whatever, while Yaoi gets more of the actual character development (...and it's own fair share of porn). It's really only in girl character-centric animes that I see good Yuri-Fic (Sailor Moon and Slayers come to mind)
ANYWAY, moving on. (did I start this downhill slope to OT-ness? I hope not. D:)
