But the thing is, someone will always find something. Always.
Spend your time researching, yes, but spend more time making your voice real and believable, and your pace right.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

It's amazing the people we worry about. I'm still waiting for some Renaissance history nut--other than me--to read Nessuno and complain that I got the year wrong that Cesare Borgia gave up his ecclesiastical robes and went back to secular life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's an alternate universe!

Well, it was bound to happen. I've been name-dropped on one of the anonymemes as a "snotty elitist fan" who rages on about incest, is insufferable, and am tarnished by being friends with Republicans. ::rolls eyes::
God forbid we have opinions, or worse--friends.
Worse yet, there are errors of fact and it's pissing me off. But I will remain strong, and not comment. Bah.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Incest is why I have steered way the heck away from Narnia fic, in general. I don't even want to consider it. Incidentally, thank you for showing the way to something better, with your Susan fic. Good stuff. Also, doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Eh, it's out there, but it's not the majority, and it's always clearly signaled. I'm less interested in the shippy stories (incest or OC) in general for Narnia, but I won't say that it's not a huge draw in some quarters (Fanfiction.net, for instance).

Seriously?
Oh, yeah. Although tbf, she's someone with a visceral dislike for incest, dislikes identity politics, and hates what she sees as the "dogpiling" culture online. Which I find vastly amusing that these people are bitching about her, because I can tell that a bunch of them actually agree with her on some issues.
She's a fantastic writer (one I full expect to see listed at Amazon at some point), and she dropped out of online fandom several years ago, so I don't know why these folks have their knives out for her, other than possibly boredom.
But god forbid I make friends with someone that I disagree with on some issues, and refuse to ditch her because other people don't like her. ::shrugs::

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want to blaze into the anonmeme and defend Consuela. I love anonmemes.
Which one is it?

Also, they diss b.org, because we're elitist know-it-alls because Tim posts here. And they seem to think some other people I am friends with are Buffistas, even though they're not.
I am sorely tempted to request citations for several assertions I know to be wrong. But that would out me, so. ::shrugs::
