Very small rant

[leethet]

Because it's entirely likely that I'm just cranky (although I've felt like this in other similar circumstances). In visiting the latest  crack_vanrec, which, yes, was cute, this?

I do believe that was every slash fic in a nutshell right there. *wipes hands* yup.

Like I said, maybe I'm just cranky, because as a rule I'm not bothered by mild humor at the expense of my writing (and others'), but it's sure not very pleasant to hear that all our hard work can be summed up so cheaply. I always figured the journey, and reaching the expected destination, were why readers were there in the first place. I could be wrong on that - it could be just me.

We do, really, and I do feel like they didn't mean it to sound so dismissive of the efforts of a lot of excellent writers - but it did come across like that. When I think of some of the really brilliant, moving work I've read, it irks me to see it brought dowwn to a few panels and "that's every slash fic." I think I'm just whiny, because I really do doubt they meant it so seriously.
