Taking a moment,

to think about a comment I've just read that likens RPS to deplorable activities such as celebrity stalking. Yes, I understand what this person was saying, and why they said it, and yes they have a right to think what they want. I guess I just don't like feeling like I've just been labeled some kind of slack jawed deviant for reading and writing rps.

Does this notion make me want to stop reading and writing rps?

Heh.

Nope.

...on second thought, when it comes to Viggo/Sean, that slack jawed deviant part may apply to me after all, *grin*

I don't mind when people have a dislike for RPS. I don't mind when people don't care for slash. Or fanfiction. Or pumpkin pie. What I hate is when they take their dislike to extremes. I don't like being told that what I do is akin to rape, stalking, or (in some cases) being a Nazi. *rolls eyes* Yes yes, I get that RPS gives people the heebie-jeebies. I'm sure not forcing anyone to read my work, though.

Yes, yes and yes. Everything you just said. *g* And speaking of your work, I want to take this opportunity to go all fangirly and say how much I enjoy your Sean-centric fiction. I've been awful *hangs head* about giving feedback in all corners of my fandoms for a long time. Cruelty was the first thing of yours I read, I think, but it was Captivation that just knocked me out. I mean, speechlessness, staring at the screen, speechless. And the Peirce/Sean! That arc hurts, but oh it hurts so good. *g*

I'm addicted to your Sean, in all his incarnations/universes and it's about time I said so.

*mwah!*

Awwww, thank you!! :D All my Seans thank you as well. :) I don't know why he makes such a good muse for me (and why it's almost exclusively in the Viggo pairing, with occasional forays into Pierce), but I love writing him, and I've been terribly fortunate with all my cowriters (everyone in Chiaroscuro is absolutely brilliant, and it's been fun pairing Sean off against all of those characters!). :)
