*L* Oh, my. I solemnly swear I will never force you to write Snape/Cynthia;)
I just wish people would stop asking me to read them (they see that I write Snapefic, so they go, oh she'll read my stuff). Romance with Snape is 95% of the time OOC, and it really doesn't interest me.
Do you get emails from people asking you to read their Snapefic, by any chance? Because I do all the time, and I haven't figured out why this is considered acceptable.
The one I got today was an email (as was the last one, but that particular person had reviewed every single one of my fics and was open to constructive crit. which meant I was willing to make an exception). Other ones before have been part of reviews, and I usually give them a chance by looking at their summary and maybe even trying a few paragraphs. If I don't like it, I pretend I never recieved the request. I think I get more requests from people to read their Harry'sfather!Snape fics than anything else.
I have absolutely no idea why it's considered acceptable, especially when they email (though to be fair, this last person was asking to archive Intersections along with her request for me to read her fic). When they do so by review, I can sort of understand, since I have done it once or twice in the past, though I don't bother to now.
Well, they do send emails/reviews asking me to read their fics. I don't flame them...though one girl did get a very harsh review from me for...well it would take too long to explain.

I had this horrible dream last night that you and some others had chained me to a desk and were forcing me to write Severus Snape/Cynthia Rookwood.

"[long review]... I liked how you put character X into this situation and how it turned out. I've done somthing similar with character Y in my story."
But in e-mail? Just for the purpose of getting you to read their stories? Maybe this just means that you rae famous now...
