She ranted in her blog about how you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT TAKE character A from pairing 1 and gay him up with character B from pairing 2. Which I didn't get at all, yo. The gay wasn't canon but the incest was (it was the gods from Xena and Hercules) so I didn't really see the problem with it, you know? I felt so bad though. I was in the height of my teen angst and created this guy to back me up and make me feel better who was an awful lot like character B and abandoned the fandom. I mean, there wasn't much in it for me if I wasn't going to write in it--whole lot of MPreg, my Wun Twu Squick, and AUs placing the characters in high school having sex in front of their friends because they have very limited time together.
Actually, that was kind of hot if totally OOC. Which makes me feel so pervy now that I'm 18, but I was around the characters' ages at the time.
Now it cracks me up, but at the time it just felt like a gunshot to the gut you know? I used to (and I guess I still do to a less extent) just assume that everyone was like me. It was kind of a hard lesson to learn. o.0
