Dear Reader,
Let me first start off by saying thank you for reading this story.
I realize that because the topic is controversial, it causes people to have varied opinions. Believe me when I say that I don't mean to offend anyone I truly mean it...so before you start the story I feel I should explain myself.
First of all, Samcedes is a ship pair that causes problems for some people merely on the fact that Mercedes is a Black American and Sam is a White American...it's stupid but unfortunate. So if people have problems with it today, you can imagine the kind of tension it would have caused in times of Slavery...hence the setting of the story...
These types of romances occurred in slavery all of the time, and I personally don't see what the difference is between someone writing a Samcedes Romance in the 1940's or 50's before the Civil Rights Movement compared to a Samcedes Romance set in the 1800's...why? Because Sam technically owns her? If you read in the title "YOU BOUGHT MY BODY, I GAVE YOU MY HEART"...some people are shooting down my story before I've even had a chance to write it...I'm still developing the characters and the plot and I'm already getting messages to abort the idea...
i seriously don't think i'm going to do that...I write for me...and sure it may not be 100% historically accurate (like I'm seriously not going to spend hours on hours researching to write a fan fiction that will most likely never be published professionally) but you as the reader have a choice to read it.
So if you get anything out of this letter,
1) I, in no way support slavery (that should be a given), in any form.
2)I'm using Slavery as a time setting...which will most likely fast-forward through the American Civil War (possibly, like I said I'm still developing the plot.)
3) please relax and enjoy the story, for what it is...a story...i'm not trying to start a revolution nor am I trying to make Slavery seem like it wasn't a hurtful or dark part of my country's history...I just wanted to mentally put Samcedes in that time period and see where my imagination would take me...
4) If you don't like it, stop reading...and don't leave a comment either...i really don't need any added negativity
To all of those who read it and were supportive, by all means give me your instructive criticisms...
THANK YOU.
p.s: if this didn't clear up everything idk what else to do lol sorry if it continues to offend
