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.

The way I see it, we're priviledged to be able to read *anything* an author sees fit to share. Yes, we can devoutly hope a story ends the way we want it too, but we have no right whatsoever to expect it.

That's pretty much all I've *ever* thought. I've read loads of books and stories that other people have loved, but I thought they were crap or didn't like how they went. I didn't write the author and demand they change the ending; I've always thought it was a matter of opinion. If you don't like something either a) don't fucking read it or b) throw it away!
