Remind Me Why We Write Slash Again????

 Warning: The Vixenne is about to go on a mad rant and for very good reason!!!

As many of you might know, I've been dabbling off and on in another fandom while waiting patiently for my VigBean muses to come off their endless summer.  However, after some rather interesting (and frankly lame) comments from said moderator of the Gackt/Hyde forum, I've

That community pisses me off sometimes just for the fact they if you fuck up one thing you get bashed I mean c'mon its not like we are writing a damn biography of the men.
My Cigarettes and handcuffs fic was bashed cuz a bitch said that it was completely out of character, if it was completely out of character why did no one else seem to think so?

She acts like the fucking supreme queen of Gakuhai and its very annoying.
They are my first fandom I wrote about but seeing as how people are such shit asses over there, I don't even want to write about them anymore it kinda ruins it =/.

I loved your story, and actually I liked the asterisks more than the quotation marks lol.

I'm sorry they are such shits don't let them get you down or anything.

btw I added you as a friend ♥ accept?

Okay, from the top. I'm a professional writer as well as an Acquisitions Editor in RL. Several of my slash stories, as well as a scholarly essay on slash and some original works have been professionally published in Germany and the U.S. I have never once minded constructive criticism. In fact, I welcome it because it grounds me and gets me back into the mechanics of writing rather than me going all off on tangents. It always helps me to see my story through fresh eyes. I freely admit am not all that familiar with Japanese culture, especially the use of honorifics, and I'd have welcomed some insight as to what they are and when and how they should be used

Had you approached me in a less confrontational way, I might have taken such information to heart. Actually had you bothered to ASK for clarification, we might have engaged in a civilized exchange of ideas

I still think you're missing the point. You wrote: "I have to object strongly to the following, which I missed in my initial skim: How many people had told him Gackt Camui was out of his league..." You also admit that you've got no experience with BDSM,and yet you feel quite free to criticize a depiction of lovestyle you know nothing about

Who knew I'd ever be discussing the taste of semen with another female? My gay guy friends are in stitches right now.
