Very cool, I'm fine with variation and generally don't get all ranty and nit-picky on the small things. I tend to get frustrated when someone's fic is nothing but one ignorant statement after another. I will admit, I wrote this after reading an epically bad attempt at a BDSM fic. It wasn't any one detail that annoyed me, I am aware that everyone's experience of things will differ in some aspects (though you are both rare and lucky as hell to not need lube for anal!)but when it's just one eye-rolling bit of idiocy after another...well, I get a bit disgusted because it just becomes painfully obvious that the author is talking out their ass.
You are not one of these writers. I haven't ever read one of your stories and had the thought, "Nope, that's wrong." As a matter of fact, I've always found your work to be astonishingly accurate in it's depictions of life, emotion and carnal activity.
Also, I am not into ripping people apart. I didn't comment at all on this person's offering. I couldn't think of a way to do it that wouldn't have been crushing. I skimmed the rest of it (desperately looking for something of merit) and then departed without a word. I was seriously tempted to leave a note inquiring as to whether they'd be interested in an honest critique but in the end I didn't. They had major grammar and usage issues besides the technical inaccuracies.
So, if I came off as intolerant of other people's experience, it certainly was not my intention. I'm actually pretty tolerant in general. I read each story I come across with an open mind and strive to find something of merit everyone's work. However, glaring incompetence and obvious laziness remain pet peeves.
