Connie, that's great! And very well deserved to boot.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

You win "Best Feedback" hands down.

A friend of mine wrote Scully/Doggett during season 8 of the X-Files. During the story they drink red wine. She got an email that accused her of being French.
I just loved that.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It wasn't hate mail, but I got compared to a Holocaust apologist by an LFN bit player.

Accused of being French? That is awesome.

I was once taken to task in my LJ for *not* using the Vampire Consort thing in a Spike/Xander story.

Were you also lectured on account of a lack of purring? Because that would be extra-funny.
Oh, and don't forget the person on BBF who was upset at the ooky slash and wondering if you were going to put some hot Spuffy lovin' in Career Change.

Oh, god, yes, the "Slash! Oh, god, my eyes!" people. I mean, they didn't see it coming?
I think I just sighed (then snickered) at the Spuffy-requester. I can't imagine the twists I'd have to play on the plot to make Spuffy a reality in Career Change. A spell, maybe, or stupid drunkenness. Though I did write a pornless Buffy/Angel story once, out of pity for the poor girl.

It's funny, with the hetfen in certain fandoms feeling very oppressed at the moment, to look at things from a more fandom-wide perspective and see that, yes, in fact, there are still corners of the globe where slash is considered just as ooky as ever.
Of course, my answer is to just write--and read--everything.
(Certain pairings are exceptions to that rule, but I do at least attempt to try everything once. Hell, I tried reading highly rec'd Angel/Cordy at least three times before I realized that nope, not getting over that squick anytime soon.)
