I thoroughly endorse your idea to completely ignore that post henceforth & maintain that you never even saw it. As hard as it is to think that others don't love your 'kids' as you do, please remember that those are their opinions. Even if you respect their opinions (usually), your opinions aren't wrong. Intelligent, good-hearted people can honestly disagree & all be right on matters of taste.... Myself, I love a good smooshy clichéd fic sometimes! It comforts me & soothes ruffled nerves & just helps me be happy in an uncomplicated way. I like other kinds of fics at other times, too, & that's OK. Sometimes your heart/brain/spirit wants to do 'serious research' & sometimes it wants to read the funnies. ;-)

Ooooh, a Big AU Fic?!? Did I know about this? I'm sorry it kicked your butt yesterday but I do so like reading fics from you....
