On the other hand...
On a different note, I recently got feedback for two very old stories of mine in two different fandoms which were a bit odd. Not negative; it's just that both writers used the comment to tell me all about their specific headcanons. Basically, the comments went: "Nice story. Let me tell you in several paragraphs about my headcanon for this show/movieverse issue which is only vaguely related to what the story has been about." I'm a bit at a loss on how to respond. Especially since in neither case, the headcanon in question is something I agree with, but their comments were polite and I don't want to be rude, not least given that comments to fanfic have become rarer and rarer in general.
Meanwhile, nominations for the Rare Male Slash Exchange are happening. I participated last year for the first time, wrote Greek mythology slash and got both the Ben/Locke (from Lost) story of my dreams and two great historical fanfics, so I won't be able to resist signing up again.
