There is nothing wrong with wanting to see female characters in fic in a positive way.

Uh, yeah, there kind of is when you start behaving like a spoilt child whose daddy didn't get them a pony when writers don't conform to their exact expectations of what they want them to write. I've seen it way too many times, and I've seen it get extremely vicious on the part of the ones who ostensibly just "want more female characters."

Yeah, I'm angry. Yes, I'm pissed off. Yeah, I know this isn't going to change anything. But dammit, I'm tired of people acting like fan writers are their personal Santa Claus.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, nobody in this thread or secret did act like that?

I get that you're angry from other areas of fandom but why take all your anger out on the OP who did a pretty good job of not being all "slash is evil do things my way!!!".

[(Anonymous)]

Because to be completely honest with you, it did kind of come across like a complaint that people weren't catering to their every whim. I will give them that they did a good job on the whole not-doing-the-slash-is-evil-thing.

I will admit though that due to other circumstances, it may have colored my perception somewhat. Oh well. I'll go back to my debugging, I guess. Maybe I should take a bit of a break from fandom...

[(Anonymous)]

No, it didn't, not to anyone reasonable. You offloaded in a nasty, overwrought and aggressive way and if you did "give them a good job on the whole not doing the slash-is-evil" thing, it was completely invisible in what you actually wrote.

Apologise properly to the OP. This "well I might hve overreacted, maybe, but I was justified because of REASONS and it was all the OP's fault really" is not good enough.

That goes both ways though. How is "OMG UR SLASH IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF MY FEMALE CHARACTERZ" any different than "EW GIRLS BREAKING UP MY SHIP!"? Entitlement happens on all sides of this. It is far from any groups exclusive domain. And I agree, no one should have to write anything they don't want to write for fun. But that doesn't mean that when there IS a distinct lack of one thing or another, and there IS a valid reason (please note I said VALID, not ew het or ew slash or ew vagina) to say something about it, it's not a bad thing.

Nobody is saying you have to have character X in your slash porn. Of course not. Most PWPs just have the characters involved in the act and that's that. But if character X is constantly painted as a raging bitch/slut/EVIL because she might get in the way of said ship... that's not cool.
