I know we say authors ought to write to please themselves, but I'm not sure I like the idea that that definition gets expanded to cover writing with the specific intention of making someone feel bad. I agree that that's kinda shitty.

But.. the OP is talking about writing fics without a certain pairing. How does one make someone else "feel bad" by not writing a certain pairing? Maybe the writer doesn't care for that pairing at all. Why should the writer bow to someone else's needs or wants and make themselves miserable?

There are certain characters I would never, ever ship, and anyone who told me to do so, and especially if they complained about the fact that I don't, that would only drive me further away from the ship. If the complainer wants ship fic so much, they can write that pairing themselves.

Okay look at it this way: I'll feel bad if Book X doesn't have a happy ending. Is the author obliged to write me one, then? If the author knows I prefer happy endings and doesn't write one that suits my preferences, is the author being shitty? Or maybe, as a reader, am I not automatically entitled to get what I want out of a work created by someone else?
