OMG! How DARE you write a pairing that HURTS ME!
aukestrel rants about rec warnings in Due South fandom. She doesn't want to read Ray/Ray (or Ray?Ray, as she puts it, because she just can't see the pairing), so she wants clear rec-labels. Okay, fine. Lots of people don't want to read a particular pairing. This makes sense.

This? Not so much:

I prefer my F/K fantasy life. I've loved it for over six years now and I'm going to continue to love it for the foreseeable future.

So please... for the love of Dief and little green apples, would you think before you rec a fucking Ray?Ray story and don't actually mention that fact?

Also, when I defriend you, it's nothing personal. I'm tired of wading through seemingly endless paeans to the glory and rightness of Ray?Ray and recs for stories I have less than no interest in.

Wait, you know what? It is personal. Because I'll wade through endless paeans to Jsquared and Sam/Dean and even McShep without getting all het up. But Fraser's a crazy-ass emotional "for God's sake don't let her near Paul Gross!" connection for me and it hurts me when he's left out in the cold, out of character and just plain out of luck.

Neither does this

Alternate pairings mark the end of "something" (hegemony? group-think? comment-whoring? Tell us!)in a fandom? I did not know that!

There's more nuttiness in the comments,supposedly, but I can't brave them yet without coffee. Thanks to glossing2 for linking to the wank_report,and the mouse that posted it there for the heads-up.
