I agree with a lot of this, and I thank you for saying it.
Bashing = bad, and that's all I have to say about that, because you said it very well.
I do get uncomfortable when someone writes B/A doesn't really feel B/A, because often I feel like if they don't get what's so special about them really, that specialness won't come out in their writing. Even if they're trying really hard and saying all the things a B/Aer would say, I feel like their hearts not in it, and it doesn't work for me. Same with good writers write a character or pairing in a different way than I see them. But... I don't hate on them. And I don't want to puke. I get uncomfortable, and feel like things aren't quite right, but I do appreciate the effort, and usually can see it for the quality in writing, even if it doesn't match my point of view. I'm not even sure if I agreed or disagreed with you there. My head's all spacey.
My head, being spacey, also first read this line: "I feel like you're a good writer and should've done justice to my woobie" as "I feel like you're a good writer and should be a part of my wardrobe". I need sleep.
Also, a bit OT, I've been in kind of a head-spacey and distracted way on and off for days now, and you have new fic, and I haven't been able to read it, but I've had them open on my computer for DAYS in my "to read" pile, and I can't wait till my head is in a place where I can focus on them. Which will hopefully be very soon. Just so you know.
