I think now I'm a true member of fandom. Yesterday I've received my first flame! Wheee! Okay, it wasn't really a "Die, you bitch!" kinda thing, but it was definitely a "Oh you stepped on my toes so hard!" review.

Remember my fic The True Veela Story? This is what the summary says on FF.Net (of course this happened on FF.Net): Draco is a veela. He has to mate with Harry or die. Naturally, he chooses to die. Parody. FLUFF. HPDM. SLASH.
And this is (among other things) what I have in the story header:
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: NOT ANGST. THIS IS FLUFF!

And this is a review I've received yesterday:

Add a "slash" description in the summary please.

I actually started reading this with the impression "Nice, a Draco-veela story that actually doesn't end with the two together like every other bloody slash story."

I was wrong. Waste of my time (even if it was a few minutes only.)

BAHAHAHAHA! I don't know what s/he means by "Add a "slash" description in the summary." And I don't know what's more ridiculous. The thought that s/he somehow missed the giant SLASH warning, or the thought that s/he's asking me to explain what slash is in the story summary. I mean, I've listed the pairing and everything. And this bit: story that actually doesn't end with the two together like every other bloody slash story.

LOL! What? Bloody slash stories and their happy endings! Can't these gay guys just die in the end? And I actually SAID this is fluff not angst. I mean WOW! I suppose s/he expected a Harry/Draco bashing story. But if I wrote a non-H/D story and said it was a H/D story, wouldn't that be trolling? Is s/he upset I WASN'T trolling?

Should I respond? I don’t know what to say. I so want to know what "Add a "slash" description in the summary," means.
