Yeah, agreed. (I also get VERY sick of people who say things like "if you want to write about OCs, write ORIGINAL FIC." Because I have to wonder what they do when their canon's creator(s) decide to introduce new characters.)

That's ridiculous! I have read some fics where the Mary Sue is a fuckup, but everyone loves her because of it. Then, I also enjoy reading fics where people have justifiable grudges against each other, rather than happily getting along immediately or one bunch of canons being OMG MEANIES. Possibly the reviewer interpreted it as an OMG MEANIES fic without thinking?

My main problem with writing villains used to be that they were cardboard and cackling, but now it's more that I always end up feeling bad for them and then I have trouble permakilling them, because the trouble they cause is so much fun.

(I do too -- actually, I somehow accidentally stumbled into writing something that could be taken as either OMG FEMINIST or OMG FEMINISTS ARE BAD last NaNo.)
