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.

I hear stories like this from other authors and I just shake my head. At what point is the author hostage to the reader? NEVER! I felt this way when Anne Rice had her little hissy fit on Amazon.com and bascially said that she was going to write her books the way she wanted and if people didn't like it, they could go to hell. And not buy her books. Fortunately, for her, she's in the position financially to do that. A lot of people pointed out how crazy and ungrammatical her rambling was, and I have to agree with that part of it. She's probably two sandwiches short of a loaf. HOWEVER, I agree with the spirit of what she said. They are her words and if she wants to write "Johnny is a very bad boy," five hundred thousand times and print it and she finds someone to publish it, so be it. There are her words. Her story. And everyone else CAN go to hell.

Yeah, pretty much.
