Just got back from my fourth annual Coachella Music Festival (a.k.a the four days starvinbohemian spends wandering, intoxicated, in the desert every year

To be fair, I have only encountered a handful of comments who didn't like my approach to the Will/Sonny/Brian triangle. I am assuming you have been harder hit, given that your story IS WAY MORE EPIC AND WAY MORE DELICIOUSLY SEXY.
(No, but I am serious though. Your fic is so good, I am sure it pisses WilSon fans more. Simply because you aren't feeding them WilSon fluff the way they'd like you to.)
I don't feel alienated at all. I do write WilSon fics so perhaps that is why I don't feel so much on the outside. (Some people may look at me as an opportunist, since I support both sides.) But there are WilSon fans who are a lot like me, who appreciate Brian just as much as they hate the whole baby story line. I hope that I played a teeny part in getting some non-Brian fans to inevitably read about Brian (haha!) and 'converting' some of their perspectives on him.
Do you feel alienated though? I understand if that is the case. I sometimes fantasize about creating a Brian/Sonny community where we can have our own little happy place. In the comm, we can have Brian-oriented fics as well, where Sonny doesn't have to play a part. Heh. I don't know, it's something I feel would benefit many Brian fans.
Sorry for the random ramble. You get excited over my Brian fics? Man, that's such a huge compliment! You, to me, write the perfect Brian. Your characterization of him really inspires my writing of Brian.
(I am currently writing a Brian-centric with with Brian/Sonny endgame. It is far from done but man, just knowing that the Brian will get Sonny in the end is making my toes tingle in happy, lol.)
Nah, I've just gotten a handful, too. Maybe I should just come with an angst warning whenever I post something. ^_^ It's probably melodramatic to say I feel alienated, but the hostility toward Brian in the comm has definitely been off-putting for me. I feel like my stuff is Wilson, too, (just not Wilson-only) so it still seems like the right place to post my stuff, even if there are gonna be people who don't like it.
I don't think it's opportunistic to write both pairings! At least, not in a bad way? You're a writer. You shouldn't be boxed into one corner.
I'm surprised we don't have a Brian LJ comm yet! I wish we did.
Of course I get excited by your Brian fics! I can't wait to read your Brian/Sonny endgame! I've only ever seen one other fic where Brian gets to end up with Sonny. It's like spotting an incredibly rare unicorn lol.
