People that assume every male character in a fanfic is gay just because the main pairing is male/male really need to let the writer make that decision (or not).

Because people that fish for those pairings (and get pissed when they don’t appear) are really fucking annoying.

Get over yourself.

Agreed. I liked writing pairings that I like, and situations that I liked, and I wanted to share them because I thought other people might like them too.

And then the people spammed me, begging for certain pairings and certain situations, and I eventually stopped writing because I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t handle people asking for pairings, and assuming that I was going to make a pairing because I made people interact.

The big secret is that there weren’t going to be any pairings.

That’s how I am now :/

I guess I don’t get it anyway, because of where I live. There are maybe 5-6 people in this town. They way readers act, it should be 50 gay people for every 2 straight people, and while that would be cool, it just feels really unrealistic unless they live in a larger locale where they can hang out more. Which people don’t take into account.

I just wanted to add, on the other side of the coin, as a reader, it really annoys me when every character in the story is in a relationship and/or gay. I chose your story because it had my otp, not because every freaking character is paired up.

It’s worst when I’m searching for my otp and they have them tagged in their story, but it’s as a minor pairing. It’s hard enough finding stories about my otp, I don’t need your other ship tagged with it when they’re not the main focus. /otp fanfic rant

Just stop. Not everybody in every story has to be paired or gay.
