Here's a tiny rant regarding Cigarette Burns that I posted due to someone commenting that they would continue reading just to insult it.
I've been wondering for a while if I should reply to this, but from the sheer amount of comments I get, I think I need to address it. If you have read the story, then you understand that Sirius is still pretty much in his early twenties mentally. 17 is legal in wizarding world - BUT *spoiler alert* because I don't fuck around with shite, nothing happens until she's 18 sorry for the spoiler everyone! I get 20 of these comments/dms/ whatever a day. And it's alright to have concerns and voice them, it's really understable as I'd never want to put out content that might be questionable for easily influenced readers. But if you're going to read something I spent months writing to just insult it I'd appreciate it if you left my story and moved onto something else that you'd enjoy reading.
No hate nor disrespect at all, just wanting everyone to realize that I am a person who reads your comments. I see what you're saying. And even though I don't know who you are, nasty comments do affect all of us authors no matter how thick our skin is.
Also I did mark this as 18+ story. It is not my responsibility to police who may be reading this. If you're 18+ I trust you're old enough to understand laws around consent as well as the concept that different places have different ages and that fanfiction is just that... fiction!
Thank you to those who have been kind in the comments it is truly appreciated and is the reason I continue writing.
