FF.net strikes again

[ratherastory]

It's kind of funny, at this point.

Anonymous Reviewer™ at ff.net decided that I sold "Thicker Than Water" under false pretenses, because it was too sympathetic to Sam and not sympathetic enough to Dean's POV.

*snort*

I'd really like to know whether said reviewer actually read the summary before reading.

(*cheats and replies with the icon you made*)

I have been watching the wrong show! *shudders*

Now aren't you glad you posted your fic to a place where an anonymous reader could make assumptions as to your intentions and decide you're purposefully trying to undermine the entire Dean whump genre?

Ecstatic. ;)

I am totally a Sam-girl in disguise. You found me out. *hangs head in shame* Every person with a lick of sense in fandom knows that in order to be a proper fangirl you have to hate Sam.

(*Wait, that you made, or that I made? I'm never sure whether these asterisk action asides are meant to be in first person or not. Either way, using the flaming ice cream apocalypse icon.*)

Well, no, you don't have to hate Sam. But you do have to pick sides. You have to be a Sam-girl or a Dean-girl. Or a Misha Minion. If you like Sam, then you're totally not allowed to write Dean's man pain. That's subversive. You're trying to lure people in to your Sam-loving ways with your Dean whump as bait.

WELL NO MORE! WE'VE SEEN THROUGH YOUR DIABOLICAL PLAN!

. . . It occurs to me that I may not have actually commented on the story itself. I rather enjoyed it.

You have seen through my cunning plan!

Also, I failed at asterisks because you didn't make that icon, someone else did and I got confused. :P

I'm glad you liked the story!

Furthermore, I need to come up with subtler diabolical plans, since everyone seems to have seen through this one.

[bellatemple]

I was about to say. I didn't remember making that icon. . . .

There should be a subtle subversiveness for diabolical purposes online tutorial.

Clearly I am the wrong person to be writing that tutorial.
