a milestone of a sort

[ratcreature]

After years in fandom I finally got my very first anti-slash flame. It kind of feels like a milestone, because I've never before been flamed for artwork that I recall (only trolled in discussion posts). Though I guess it's not surprising, considering how non-prolific I am. Also not actually drawing slash all that often.

Anyway the flame is such classic too, all capslock and typos with profanity accusing me of disrespecting the characters (as far as I can gather amidst the typos and incoherency). Though I guess I can't actually take full credit, as it was for my illustration of Lucy's Nightwing/Superman story Secrets. *waves* I'm almost tempted to let it out of the moderation queue (it came via my wordpress fanart blog) to commemorate the occasion, but not quite.

Heh, a fannish milestone! (I still remember my first anti-het flame in TS fandom.)

[ratcreature]

Heh. I now share in a common fandom experience. And it figures that there were anti-het flames in TS. Het really was kind of the underdog that fandom. (Though I remember reading some with Megan that I quite liked.)

I sort of want to send them a link to the Batman mpreg art, but that would obviously be no good, since it would just perpetuate their flaming. But really, that's what got them fired up?

[ratcreature]

Yeah, I don't get it either. I can only assume the flamer doesn't actually look at fanart a lot. Nor has seen actual superhero porn sites. Or reads DC comics and what they put their characters through. I mean, in a lot of fandom you might be able to say that the creators wouldn't ever do that to their characters, but DC?

I'm so proud.

It kind of fitting too. The first slash fanart I posted getting the first flame too. (even if it is five years later)
