Newsflash.

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.

1. That story better be Blaise/Draco or I'll show up at your place with a bunch of emo cds

2. if I have a whole ramble here I know you won't stop me:

Notice to readers--if you have a vision for a story, have a plot-arc in mind, have certain expectations for the characters/settings/conventions, then go write that story yourself. If you want to read something you didn't have to make up, then go to someone else's lj and read something you didn't make up. Sometimes other people have different ideas than you; this is called The World. There are conventions in The World, too, like variance of opinion, writing style and 'ship. Please remember this when venturing out in The World. Also, wear your helmet, you might hit your head.
