Okay, guys, it's one thing to hope a story you're reading will turn out the way you want, with the pairing you want, but rolling up on an author and saying a story better turn out the way you want is not cool. In fact, it's rude and aggravating, and you pretty much ruin the story for everyone else, because then, you piss the author off.

An author is not required to do, or write, anything they don't want to do.

there is some kind of strange mentality that seems to exist in the h/d shipping world... by which i mean the world of those for whom shipping (as opposed to even reading or writing) h/d is a passtime and a cause of its own. some of these people seem to think like they're some sort of political party and they need to promote and champion the love of their ship.

it baffles and mystifies me. it could be said, i suppose, that i ship h/d as i very much enjoy the pairing and many h/d fics. however, i fear the warped minds of the people who would say something like, you BETTER give me the h/d ending i want, bitch! or... you know. whatever people say.

It's sad how a few people can ruin everything for everyone else. I think it's one thing to be passionate, but there's a line between passion and being an asshole. If I want to promote a cause, I don't think harassing people is the way to do it. Call me old-fashioned.

Like in school when you wouldn't get to play Head's Up Seven Up if someone sassed the teacher too many times.

Exactly -- and you'd spend the rest of the day giving that person the evil eye.
