Thrive to spite them
I did start reading a story with John and Rodney being very snuggly in bed, but they had sex. But then he story jumps to John waking up. Turns out he was beat near to death and they'd pulled out the feeding tube, and instead of dying (like they expected) John woke up.
Then I stopped reading.

Dana, your story is fantastic, you nailed the voices and their relationship.

And Shalott just stomped on them for whining. So you win.

Dana, what's the story's title? I'm woefully unfamiliar with people's lj usernames.

Yeah, the original poster is a piece of work. Thank god for sane mods. Fandom wouldn't run without them.
Thanks, askye!
Matt, it's a terrible title and will probably get changed (and certainly beta-read) before I archive it. For now, it's "Empirical Evidence." The thread is interesting, if you want to see a poster compare slash to a pie filled with crap instead of fruit.
No, seriously.

Oh cool, I liked that one! And have vague recollections of previously thinking that lj user was an enjoyable writer without the slightest inkling it was you.

Thanks!
I feel like I need a new tagline somewhere. "Writing poop-filled pies since 1999."

I guess I can sympathize a slight bit with her complaint, since my usual reaction to discovering unexpectedly that a story is Jack/Daniel schmoopfic tends to be a mental "ick!" and immediate flight to more angsty climes. But I think griping about one's objection to slash in general in a community that's more than half Sheppard/McKay stories indicates that the metaphorical homeowner has left the lights on while vacationing.

Bit of a boggler, that. And a flawed metaphor, because nobody likes pies filled with poop. Whereas a hell of a lot of ficreaders like fic that is slash. Especially, from what I gather, within a community that's dominated by a slash pairing. If she'd couched her objections in terms of someone with a nut allergy and a weakness for pies being tempted by delicious fruit pies in a baker's window and frustrated by the fact that the baker wasn't prepared to indicate whether any of them contained any almonds/coconut etc etc, then she'd have had my sympathy, rather than just been offensive. (Although the bottom line of 'So find another baker' would still have held true.) Silly woman.
