My darling Molly!!
I'm so sorry that you are having these people come into your askbox! They clearly know nothing about you, your values or your fics.
Anyone who has ever talked to you knows how much you champion the right to write what you like; and anyone who has ever read your fics can see how much your versions of Sirius and Remus change from story to story. I've never known a fic writer to represent diversities in so many ways as you.
Fuck these haters. Those of us who know and love you, know that you aren't like this.
(and for the anons who are still unclear: wanting to read a certain type of portrayal of a character does not automatically mean someone hates other versions of them too. And ALSO... People are allowed to just... not like something!! You don't have to police it for them!)
I love you, my darling
🧡🧡🧡
My heart, my darling, beta/bestie/love of my life ❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I think I got too defensive at the start of this whole thing and just made a bunch of people mad for no reason. I really do try to make this fandom a space of love and kindness, but I am also human, and sometimes things said about me, my friends, or my fics can hurt my feelings. If I upset anyone, I apologize.
The intention of answering those asks was only to make it known that I don't align with any one way a character is written, that everyone has the right to make a character their own, that I will continue to do as I have always done, which is to write these characters the way that best fits the story and what I want to read in that story. I truly strive to write these characters as nuanced and as diverse as I can, with depth and life, to not read as a stereotype.
If anyone still has a problem with the way I write my fics or the way I answer anonymous and vaguely impolite asks about a particular topic, you are welcome to message me so that we can have an actual conversation instead of making assumptions about what kind of person I am.
