To Bashers, with love from Cam and Dalek-Pet

Dear fanfic author,

So, you don't like Sara Sidle/Boromir/Ron Weasley/Denethor/Catherine Willows/Gimli/Tonks/Arwen/Sofia/Mick*/Insert Name Here and think she/he is AntiChrist-y**/evil/stupid/evil and abusing/slutty/ugly/whiny/useless/Man Lurch/kissus interruptus/Insert Evil Here? Gee, I couldn't tell that from reading your fanfics at all. But here's a thought - how you feel about the character isn't always how the other fictional characters in the world you're writing feels. (Shock, horror!, I know.) In fact, it's kind of an important difference. And if you want to write fanfic and not just vessels for your dislikes that have utterly no connection to Canon, stick to how the characters feel about each other.

Thank ye kindly.

And if I see one more appaling bashing fic from you, I'm sending my pet Dalek. EX-TERM-INATE!

** Yes, according to some, Sara Sidle is apparently the Anti-Christ. I think Adam would have a few things to say about that (and those who get that reference are cool. And also a little nerdy).

I think one can very well argue that she's friends with most of the team. Akwardly with Grissom sometimes and prone to some fighting with Catherine, granted. But mostly, the CSI team seem to all like each other.

*nod* At least, they can work together. There wouldn't be, say, open violence between team members.

No, and Sara wouldn't murder any of them.

*blinkblink* where on earth...? I've read "Sara gay-bashes Nick" fic, but never "Sara kills a team member."

Well, technically, it was an OC who had joined the team and married Grissom. hence why Sara shot, apparantly.

If you ask me, Sara knew that damn Sue by its colour and went for justifiable self defence.

Sara Sidle, CSI Sues! Freeze!
