My first flame!

Whenever slash writers talk about flames and abusive emails they receive, I've always felt a bit left out. No one thinks my stories are offensive enough to criticise? What, my characters aren't gay enough for you?

All that has changed with this (anonymous) review from FF.Net:

whoever the heck wrote this should have said it was slash in the summary. this is disgusting. shame on whoever wrote this.

I feel so... initiated now.

The thing is, it's a weird choice of story to be flamed for. "Sometimes" is a gentle, introspective story about realisation and self-awareness. It's not like Clark and Lex are screwing like bunnies. 'Disgusting' seems a little extreme when describing a story where they don't even hold hands.

Ah well. Feedback is feedback, they say, so I guess I can't complain about the quality of a flame.
