I truly hope the writer in question reads these comments, I think this is a very important discussion regarding fanfic. First of all, Brian and Justin are not her characters, she does not own them, she borrowed them. They've become larger in life because of the B/J fandom keeping them alive, if a writer wants an audience for her work she owes it to the fandom to respect the fans and give appropriate warnings, if they were her original characters I personally feel she can do as she chooses with them. She talked about how Season five affected HER, well how about how Season five affected a great number of other B/J fans? Many of us do not find their deaths appealing to read or think about. So many viewers were devastated by the television series ending, that like me they don't want to read something as heart-wrenching as their deaths; if others do that's great but give warnings for the ones who don't. Using "surprise" deaths to get a reaction is a despicable thing to do to the fans who've kept them alive in their hearts and minds. I appreciate immensely the fanfic writers, but they need to also treat the characters with honor and respect the fans' sensibilities. thanks for speaking your minds, Kati
