Just read that thread with Bast, and I so agree with all you say. Saying that thought, I've had nothing but good experiances so far posting my stories.

I suspect I've been lucky, I've only been in the fandom a year, and writing at all for less than that. The first slash story that I posted was a kink, and when I hit the send button I was no good. I was literally on e-mail to my beta all night, shaking as it sunk in I'd posted the story. I was expecting flames, yet somehow managed to slip under the notice of the flamers, and only recieved positive feedback.

There's some mailing lists that terrify me, I watched last week as one of my online friends stories was savaged, I have nightmares about being included in a DNR list or in a 'last week post'

I know I should just shrug things like that off, but right now I doubt I could. I'm still too insecure about my work to do that.

Will I keep posting to 852? At the moment yes, but god forbid that I ever write a deathfic, or stray from the OTP, I guess it's then the claws might come out.
