Oh, please don't feel bad. I'd hate for that to be the result of my post - I'm feeling bad so I make you feel bad and it's a vicious cycle! I wouldn't have even mentioned the whole thing if it weren't for the anon meme I suppose. Somehow seeing my failure dissected out in the open like that was pretty traumatizing, I guess.
Honestly, I don't know what to think of the fic discussion posts on the anon meme. I mean, people will absolutely refuse to read something because of who tops and who bottoms and I just don't get that. It seems so ... arbitrary. Or there's some other triviality that people focus on. I'm sure it sounds horribly hypocritical of me to tell you not to focus on what the anon meme says after I've just railed on about it myself, so I won't say not to take their opinions to heart (but try not to, okay?).
I actually consider this piece an original one with the Js cast in the roles of the main characters. I may have to do another rewrite of it and submit it as such to the cold, cruel world of publishers. I rather dread doing that because I've been down that road of rejection and heartbreak before to no avail but perhaps this time it would be different?
