This isn't a chapter. Sorry! Author's note, though.
So, hi! This is posted at With A Little Help From My Friends, for reasons you will soon understand. Also, I will link people from One-sided.
Let's just start with this: I'm not gay. I'm a female virgin who quite likes to think she likes guys, or, at least, hasn't really explored her options that much. Ouch, I'm like the Stiles Stilinski of the females.
And I love writing different characters! Characters who are diverse! Fun! I love ma Nico, who hasn't identified himself as gay, but who is/was in love with a guy, and I also love the LGTBQA community, and their strength. And Greeks are kind of the stars of homosexuality and great, strange, disturbing orgies. Also, Johnlock.
Some time ago I received a comment from a Guest user in One-sided telling me this:
I used to like your one sided chapters but ever since with the Artemis chapter I feel disgusted can you please refrain from having homosexuality in your chapter
thx
I didn't really reply because I thought saying something about it would be stupid, since this person is set in their beliefs and no amount of reasoning over the Internet could change that.
But then I received another comment from another Guest user, who I assume but not assure is the same person. It said this:
Are you lesbian now but seriously can you stop with the homo stuff and all that crap it's fucking gross
I'm not making a big deal out of this. I'm not a popular fanfiction writer, and I'm actually kind of crappy, but twice is too much. I may not be a lesbian, but this is offensive and wrong and I don't like that. If you aren't comfortable with something, do not comment. If it is against the guidelines for , then be sure to tell me, but a homophobic remark I will not tolerate, thank you very much. I didn't write porn, and I didn't do anything explicit, but you see, I am still a lesbian and should lay off the "homo stuff and all that crap" before I destroy my tiny reputation.
I know I very recently started writing or implying slash. This is because, until very soon, I thought it would all be porn. I know, sue me, but I was kind of afraid of it. I realized that it wasn't, that it was all very cute and fluffy and I didn't need to make characters different to make their personalities grow, and I embraced my inner queer.
So, if you think it's gross, sorry mcsorry isn't home. Please stop insulting me and everyone. Thank you, and have a nice day. If you don't like my stories because of my representations of sexuality, I'm afraid I can't help you.
Thanks for being supportive!
