Rant ahoy...
Ok so I'm not trying to be a bitch, OK. I'm trying really hard.
But I just opened my gmail primary email folder, the one I only check every few days because all the fandom stuff gets usually diverted into the "social" tab?
And I find 4 reviews from Fan fiction.net for 4 of my Warrick/Sara stories.
Copied and pasted so you know I'm getting the quote right.
Story: Walls Falling
Chapter: 1. Default Chapter
From: Wanda (Guest)
-------------------
Wanda:Nice try. But the episode will forever be remembered for its 'chalk' scene! It's Sara and Grissom, as simple as that.

Story: Home Truths
Chapter: 1. Default Chapter
From: Wanda (Guest)
-------------------
Wanda:Warrick ruined the story totally. He's never anything more than a colleague to Sara.

Story: Ordering the Chaos
Chapter: 1. Default Chapter
From: Wanda (Guest)
-------------------
Wanda:Sara was half of the GSR. Grissom would have been the right one in this story. Not Warrick. It didn't work. Not one bit.

Story: Dollar Thoughts
Chapter: 1. Default Chapter
From: Wanda (Guest)
-------------------
Wanda:Knowing how Cathetine felt about Warrick, Sara was too smart to get close to Warrick, but more important reason was Sara only had eyes for Grissom!
Warrick had a cordial working relationship with Sara. Nothing more.
Now, I've just checked on far fiction.net because it is literal ages since I have posted anything there and all those stories were posted in 2002 or 2003. They are buried DEEP in the bowels, y'all, this girl had to LOOK for them. Who does that for a ship they're not in to? And actively anti, what's more? Do you not have a life? Friends? A job? A family? Fic of your own to write for a ship/the ship you enjoy so much? Why waste so much of your time being so negative, so small, that you post reviews like that to stories that are SIXTEEN YEARS OLD?????
And of course, since she doesn't appear to be a registered user so there's no right of reply, I can't say any of this to her so I'm venting here about it!
But seriously, if you don't ship the ship, don't read it! What's so hard about that?
And if you do read it and it doesn't convince you of the worthiness of the ship? Click that little X in the corner and block me from feed, don't search for the ship and live and let live!

And this is the second batch I’ve got from the same person, they did it before Christmas too. One of them was about a Sara/Lockwood fic (not sure if your followed CSI but let me tell you, I redefined rare pair with that one!) that clocked in at 92000 words. Seriously, who reads a fic that long about a ship they’ve already made up their minds they’re going to hate?!

PS: I always loved that you took the most unconventional couples that, yeah, were never gonna be canon, but made them WORK. I love that best about your fic!

As for the second part of your message - thank you for that especially! I've always felt like that was my thing (my "brand" if you will, as I saw someone on Twitter describe it during the week!) , that I could take one line, or one scene (or complete crossover crack ships) and work them into something. Not trying to blow my own trumpet but I had enough people tell me "I thought you were mad to write this but you made it work" and I always loved those comments.

Seriously, whatever happened to “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all”?!?!

It's the fact that she literally had to DIG to get these stories. And dig deep! Who has the time?
