We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
This surprises me not at all. Although the subtext is that "true HP fans" will be left alone so long as the rating for their fic remains R and under.
Huh.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
She smiled and said, in New York accent, "That I am, Blondie. Heard you were doin' the deed with the nasty that got me."
Oh, again, dear.

re: the feedback discussion. Did we ever decide on the etiquette of bad feedback? The story was SO CLOSE, but blew it in the characterization. Well, and the plot. And I actually do want to say, "Gosh, I wish I hadn't read that." But I'm thinking silence on the matter is the best answer.

Personally? I'd say don't do it.
It's one thing if parts of a story really work for you, to send a LoC with what worked/what didn't spelled out, but if you'd rather have not read it, I'd venture to say leave well enough alone.

If it's that bad, I'd go with silence. If I liked it except for some characterization issues, or a particular plot twist, I'd send positive feedback and ask if they want more indepth comments/criticism.
Unless it's someone I know won't mind if I get a little critical.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Yes indeedy, that's a cute story. I'd already harvested part for my current tagline.
