I have some issues with your fic- is the leading sentence phrase of the comment on a replay on my fic on live journal. Okay.... poster goes on to say it's a good premise but...
Now I don't classify the post as a flame at all, but it was rather mean spirited in wording, which i politely took issue with. Also pointing out that if A person wanted to spend the time to point out HOW a story was cannonically wrong, ectera with such wording as " All you had to do was watch the first three episodes of..." then they should take the time to suggest how they would fix the "issues" the had with the fic.
And now its, obvious I have never been flammed, because he or she had been taking pains to be very polite and why should they take the time, when it was something I had done dilebrately. (The discrebancy actually wasn't done dilberately, I HAD MISSED those episodes, but after the intial comment, I felt disniclined to rewrite a 9,000+ word story to make it cannonical, and instead decided to label it slightly AU.) Especially in Dr. Who which is a fandom to which IMHO cannon can be lossely applied as it is as wobbley wobbley as Time itself in that verse.
This is not the first time, I have had a lest then pleasent experiance with the Whoverse fans. Am I overreacting or are Who fans often less then welcoming to new-blood in the fandom?
BTW, for those so inclined, the comments can be found
here.
I have to decide, how and if I am going to respond to the responce. It obviously ISN"T a flame and I don't want it to be, but still I feel a little like I have to say something. But them I am twitchy lately...
