No you're not the only one who gets these stupid comments. BTW, congratulations. In your shoes I would have been sorely tempted to explain to her that she needs to learn to spell before she can give reasonable criticism of any form of literature. It's 'appalled', not 'apaulled'. Also, she needs to please learn to use proper grammar so as not to confuse people as to how many of her there are and so that people will be certain whether she is asking a question or making a statement of fact.
As for the delicate sensibilities of Johnny Depp...no, I'm sorry, I can't even keep a straight face. I didn't even know about Edward Penishands, but that's about the reaction I'd have expected out of Mr. Depp had I known about it. Disney, I imagine, would be less sanguine, but they haven't been going out of their way to prosecute writers of PotC fic up to this point and I doubt they will do so now.
If Ghosts turns into the smutfest you're tempted to make it, I think I know who deserves a dedication.
Frankly, right now I'm temped to write Bambi porn, just because it would horrify this person so very much.

That may not have been grammar. Maybe she was waiting for one of her "others" to come out. :)

Well, as it's not a fan vid using their footage, they haven't seemed to go after the ficcers. And I would think they'd be more likely to go after those who smutfic Snow, Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora etc. first before Pirates, starring a character that seems to have been bloody designed to cause those squidgy thoughts, IMHO. After all, AFF.net isn't exactly unknown and there's nearly 1000 pirates fics there (last I looked) and I haven't heard of any problems.
As to Edward Penishands, yeah, Johnny has said he can't remember if Tim Burton gave him the copy, John Waters, or both. But he said he thought it was funny, which means he watched it or part of it. But this man is friends with John Waters. Like he was gonna be offended by anything I could come up with (let alone find out about it) when he's buds with the Master :)
Oh and do the Bambi porn. You could do a whole different take on Bambi meets Godzilla :)
You could do a whole different take on Bambi meets Godzilla :) I fear you...and yet this is precisely why I'm drawn to you.
I may have to mull over that suggestion. It's so wrong it definitely needs to be done.
And yes, when someone is friends with the likes of John Waters and Tim Burton, it's pretty much a given that person has no fear of smut or a dirty joke. Oh, and he's also friends with Terry Gilliam, whose sense of humor is also often a bizarre combination of sophmoric and sophisticated. For fuck's sake, the man's literary idol is Hunter S. Thompson!!! Fear of smut? I think not.
