Honestly? No, I wouldn't change a chapter if I really believed that was the direction the story needed to take. I've upset readers before, and I'm sure I'll do it again. I understand that in fan fiction, their perception of a character may differ greatly from mine, but if I've taken that character to a certain point, I can't back off and wave a magic wand, and make it all better. I love my readers, and I value their input. Ultimately, however, it's my story to tell, and I have to tell it the way that feels right to me.

So, I just posted a chapter of my story Prisoner of War. I also post it on a Bleach Yaoi page I follow on Livejournal. Seriously, I think Livejournal is dying away, but that's not the reason for this post. One of the characters does something pretty bad in the chapter, someone you wouldn't expect. The thing with the characters though, they really aren't the same people now as they were before, being in the situation they have been in now for a while. He was in a situation where he had to go to that extreme to protect someone he loves from something very horrible. Anyway, on to what this topic is about. A nice reader that has been following that story on Livejournal gave me a review, basically stating she had been following the fic for a long while, but now because I had said character do that, she will no longer follow the story and thanked me for the previous chapters. I of course felt horrible. I apologized that I ruined it for her and so on. Here is my question for you fellow fic writers out there. Would you go back and change the chapter to please one, or maybe a few more people? So far she is the only one I have gotten a review from, so I have no idea if I have, or will offend more with what I wrote. Personally, no, I will not go back and change what I wrote. Did I feel terrible writing it? Yes. Did I think it was out of character? No, not for the people they are now after being held prisoner and tormented for so long. And again, he was doing this so the woman he loves would not be sexually tortured, so, there ya go. I would like to hear your opinion on this. What would you do?

Divorce, serves the bitch right.Have the father relise what his compliance has done to his son and that is what makes him grow a couple,maybe not big ones but big just enough. Let her leave knowing that since she let herself go no one will want her anymore and have the dickheads take her as the club bitch. Now get 37 & 18 up or we'll all come to yur place for Christmas.

but...but its ZOMBIES! Actually I had an idea of starting every few chapters with them in the virtual world re-enacting history or doing things like fight zombies, then have some outrageous happen. I wrote a small story with Max as king aurthur amy as the lady in the lake, its a whole new twist on a classic just a hint, it involves a machine gun
