A quick little author's rant.
Hey, guys, just had something to say real quick, sorry for disappointing those of you who were hoping for the first oneshot. I just felt that a few things need to be addressed.
First of all, reading through the reviews, I'm surprised at the judgement I'm receiving. First, to " " and "alicecole2016", thank you SO much for the observation that I am "gross". I mean, wow, guys. I haven't even written anything yet, and I'm already gross. That takes talent, so thank you for the (not) compliment.
A sincere thank you to "DinahWas" for supporting me in my endeavors and pointing out that, as a writer, I have the right to write what I want. Seriously, dude, you rock.
Next, to the first reviewer, who asked that I put the pairings in the descriptions for each oneshot, so that readers can read only the pairings that appeal to them, I just want you to know that that was already my plan. Yes, each chapter will have the pairings listed at the top of the page.
Next, I'd like to address an attack that was made on me personally by someone who didn't have the balls to make an account, and instead chose to leave an anonymous review on this story that has nothing to do with the fandom, but instead was a personal attack on me based on my profile.
Guest says: "Oh my God... I just read your profile and I am speechless. I'm not sure what part of the world you live in but I'm pretty sure black people no longer refer to themselves as Negros. I'm a NEGRO so I MUST carry a gun? Lmao...you take yourself waaaaaaaaaay to seriously."
Seriously? I have had that "stereotype" speech on my profile since I set up my account, which was, like, three and a half years ago. No one has ever commented on it before. And if you had actually PAID ATTENTION, you would have noticed that just above the "stereotype" speech, there is this notice: "For people that hate stereotypes: If you think people should just shut up and stop, put this on your profile." This message CLEARLY states that I do not agree with, or condone these stereotypes! In fact, it states the exact OPPOSITE! In no way am I stating that ALL "negros" carry guns, just like I am in no way stating that ALL bisexuals only want to get into everyone's pants, or that ALL Christians are homophobic, or that ALL Arabians are terrorists! I do not believe in or condone ANY of these stereotypes. As a matter of fact, as the guest reviewer above your post states, it was a copy and paste thing that I found on someone else's profile when I first joined this site.
Speaking of that guest reviewer, thank you for sticking up for me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. To respond to your second comment, about the first chapter upsetting so many people, I don't even know what's so upsetting. There is no first chapter. I haven't even started writing anything yet. I'm waiting for my poll to finish before I start writing anything, so everyone getting upset over the first chapter is illogical, since there is no first chapter. Literally all I have posted so far is a summary of what "Bo's Conquests" is all about, and told people to go to my profile and vote on the poll. So, literally, everyone else has total control over what the first oneshot will be. Even I don't know what it will be yet.
Finally, for my most recent Guest reviewer. Yes, I have watched the show. I actually binge watched it on Netflix last month, and I am well aware that Bo is not a typical succubus. Now, I'd like to pose a question to you: Have you ever heard of fan fiction? It's this magical place where people who enjoy certain fandoms can come on and write stories based off of their favorite fandoms. And guess what the best part is. That's right. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SHOW 100%! Besides, while I am well aware that Bo does have a desire to feel love for someone and be loved in return, I also remember that she wasn't exactly the Virgin Mary. And not just for healing when she's hurt, either. Believe it or not, she did actually have casual sex... (insert dramatic music) for fun... dum dum DUUUUUUUUM! Am I calling her a slut or a whore? No. I am saying she is a very empowered woman who is confident about her body and enjoys sexual intercourse. I have great respect for Bo's character. I am also well aware that she does not just want to "fuck all her friends", just as I am aware that Kenzi is, in fact, heterosexual, and happens to be more of a sisterly character on the show. And that both Dyson and Tamsin are both just Bo's friends. But, for one thing, Bo has had sex with Dyson many, many times throughout the series, and Bo and Tamsin also had their share of sexual encounters (see season 5, episode 5: It's Your Lucky Fae, in which Bo and Tamsin begin a fwb relationship). So, while I know that fucking her friends is not the number one thought on Bo's mind, neither is she a stranger to their bodies.
And, truth be told, even if Bo had never had sex with any of the other characters besides Lauren, I would still write about her sleeping with Tamsin, Dyson, Kenzi, and maybe even HALE. Why? Because this is fanfiction, and I can. And if people want to read short stories about her doing the horizontal tango with Kenzi, Hale, Tamsin, Vex, the Morrigan, or anyone else that may come to mind, then I will write it. (Actually, scratch that, maybe not Vex, because I don't even know how that one could possibly go.)
One last thing. Thank you to those of you who actually paid attention to the summary and decided to actually give me prompts, rather than waste my time by telling me how disgusting I am as a writer and as a person, or how I shouldn't write stories based on fandoms I apparently know nothing about, even though I've binge watched the entire series more recently than most other people. Be sure to visit my profile (without sending me judgmental messages basically telling me how disgusting of a person I am), and vote on my poll. In just a few more days, I'll close the poll, and which ever pairing and scenario gets the most votes will be the subject of the first oneshot, because I will not let a few rude and ignorant bad reviews discourage me.
I apologize for my admittedly unprofessional rant, but those reviews kind of hurt, and they really pissed me off. I accept any and all CONSTRUCTIVE criticism about my work, so long as it doesn't become disrespectful and rude.
