When you write a 73k Voyager story and people start removing their kuddos, comments, and bookmarks like they're purging a warp core breach...
You know you’ve touched a nerve when people aren’t just quietly stepping away from your fic, they’re actively reverse-engaging. We’re talking un-Kuddoing, unbookmarking, and maybe whispering, “Computer, erase all evidence I was ever here.”
Look, I get it. I brought back Kashyk, a character with a complicated past, and gave him an arc. And yes, I even let him kiss Janeway. If you made it 73,856 words into this chaos and that’s your line in the sand, I understand. Not everyone’s here for the redemption of a character like him, and that’s okay.
What’s not okay? Sending hate DMs over a fictional character. I appreciate the passion, but not the cruelty. If you didn’t like the choice, you’re always free to click away.
For those who are still on this ride: THANK YOU! I see you, and I appreciate you. There’s a JC moment coming. So if you’re still here, still reading, you might just get exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Happy Reading!
