I just pimped tLS to someone (ha, I know, I'm pathetic that way) looking for SS/OFC new-teacher-at-Hogwarts fics.

The response went something like this: Too dark, and ewwww, she dated an old guy.

Too dark--that I can understand completely. But the ewww cracked me up! The old guy is barely referenced, and only in one character's monologue--there isn't even a flashback to it.

I'm totally loling here.

Dark--that I can understand, y'know? People don't always want to read angst (I know, what's wrong with them? lol).

But ewww old guy? That really came out of left field! I mean, clearly they had to have read pretty far to get to that bit. I never expected that to be a turnoff.

You always make me blush. You're the best cheerleader ever. If they bottled you and sold you, writers everywhere would be standing in line, clamoring for more!
