Gaedhal's fics

Mods, I apologise if this is an inappropriate post: please delete it if I'm stepping over any lines.

I've been following Gaedhal's latest QT stream, Coup de Foudre, only guess what? It looks like it may not be completed because of all the hostile comments the author's been getting because - get this - people don't like it being a B/J story! They're all sick of Justin, apparently, and Gaedhal's beginning to wonder if it's worth going on in the fandom if tastes have now swung so far that nobody wants to read anything B/J centred.

I don't want to kick off any Brian v Justin arguments, only to say that if you've enjoyed Gaedhal's wonderful fics then perhaps you could express your appreciation before we lose another great author from the fandom.

Sorry again if I shouldn't have commented on this here.

"There are some series that I simply avoid due to the OOC portrayal of Justin."

I have to Amen that one. Still there are plenty of stories out there that are worth reading that won't irritate your sensibilities to to either Justin or Brian. I understand that there is a preference for either one and take that into consideration when choosing an author or story. And, yes, I do get turned off when I can't find something I would want to read, but I always come back to eventually find something that renews my faith.

As I stated before, there will aways be haters. I'm not going to let them do their job of forcing their opinions on me and derailing me from what I love.

Hmm... Maybe someone should make a rec list of Justin friendly stories. Or have I done that with my strong Justin request? Maybe something is in the tags...

Okay, I'm off to find something to soothe my good QAF fic cravings. Hang in there people. And Nightvision, I did a marathon of your stories last week. Bless you.

The irony is that I was getting criticism because it WASN'T a Brian/OMC
fic. That was what was flummoxing me.
