Yes, the whole thing was unfortunate. I was hoping the possibility that the young reviewer meant to ask why you thought so many reviewers were hostile toward Andy rather than accuse you of that might make you feel better. Like I said, I don't know if that's the case or not, but it sounds possible.

I think the other thing that may have made the anti-Andy phenomenon we've all noticed from some people over on ff.net particularly surprising to this girl is that I believe the Latin American station whose website is where all of this ended up being dragged and, apparently, turned into a whole misinformed discussion on bigotry etc. has just started airing Rookie Blue. I think their audience is just seeing season 1. They certainly haven't seen how disastrously the season 3 attempt at a 'normal' relationship between Sam and Andy went yet. So the venom coming from a few reviewers was bound to seem extra strange. I don't know. Just a thought.

At any rate, I'm sorry you ended up having a negative and upsetting experience as an author, and I hope it won't discourage you from writing. The person who brought the whole thing to my attention was just trying to defend this site, defuse things her aunt had told her were being said about us, and point out that this kind of cross-cultural dust up could happen to anyone. :hug:
I guess you're right LAwoman.
Here in Brazil s2 has not premiered yet (thanks Universal channel, really, I mean it, thanks).

It's possible that people doesn't have a clue of what being normal is like :sarc: .

And, besides that, writing in another language can become an issue sometimes (well, most of the times) :D

Sam is a bad, bad man. Everything he does is wrong wrong wrong. I hope you killl him next chapter. Andy is perfect and deserves Nick because he's perfect too.


All I wanna know - if you hate Sam that much, why would you watch the show?

Sorry, but that is the lamest, most moronic story review ever. Over dramatic and over simplifying everything much? :facepalm:

It actually sounds like (to me) that the reviewer is being sarcastic and oversimplifying the plot of the story, but I haven't read the latest chapter yet so I might be totally off base.

Hmm, that's an interesting alternative interpretation. I haven't read the story yet, so it's hard to say. If that's the case, it just moves from stupid to obnoxious though. :wink:

Just received this one for "We're not broken..."

Well. Quite an unbelievable coincidence. Of course Sam isn't there for his sister but miraculously Andy is. I really enjoyed the 1st two chapters. So you're just going the trite route now of Andy saving the day and Sam being ashamed for existing? Too bad.


Except that that's not at all the route that the story is going. It's a shame that they're making assumptions about it and had to be nasty in the process.

Don't you just love when people jump to conclusions! I'm actually really looking forward to seeing where you take the story from here since there are so many possibilities...and the one the reviewer mentioned didn't even cross my mind

What's funny, is that it didn't occur to me either!

I will say that I actually think it's a Sam-saves-everyone-all-the-time kind of story, rather than an Andy saves the day story.
