I totally agree with you on that! as much as I understand some people think it's okay to put so-and-so together in their own little couple, they never consider just how anti-slash fans will take it, it's like those out of character yaoi pairings you get a lot of the time @.@ , so don't worry I fully agree with you on this.

Well we all have our own tastes and opinions I suppose. But I have to tell you that it's out there and it probably won't go away. I'm sorry you have to feel so frustratedly strongly about it but the only thing I can suggest is what other slashers and other supporters have told other anti slasers of any particular fandom: "Don't like? Don't look."

Simple as that. I know it seems overwhelming at times but it's just one part of the fandom. For every slash site out there, I'm sure there's a corresponding anti-slash or even just a more socially acceptable site out there.

You're a great artist and the sketch shows a lot of expression and movement and I personally like the drawing.

All I can say is if you don't like it, don't look at it, don't read it.

For all the other slash-bashers out there I give you the same advice. 'Cause probably how sick Donna is with all the slash popping up, I'm just THAT sick with all the bashing I see. Especially here. It's just about acceptance. I think everyone needs to accept the fact that you're either a supporter (in one way or another) or not, and just move on.

I don't want to turn this area of comments into a message boared; so I'll leave with this:

The drawing is very well done and expresses your feelings greatly. Good work! ^.~

I hear you Dark Persian! draws sword For Tolkien!

And great artwork btw.

I hear your cry of pain! Slash has got WAAAY out of hand! On fanfiction.net, almost ALL I see on the LotR section is "WARNING! SLASH!" or "SLASH ALERT!" it just pisses me right off! I'm thinking of asking ff.net to add a category for slash, so that we slash haters don't have to look at the weird summaries that some of these sick, twisted people come up with! The world will be a better place (well, the Internet anyway!). Its a great pic! Very DBZ-like if I may say so! I am SOOOO upset that there are no more DBZ sagas! In GT the voices are different, and the storyline gets a bit boring after a while. Its not like Dragonball, when everything was hilarious, or like DBZ, where the emotions were so well caught that you actually cried at some points, and made you almost believe that those people were real............... OK, I'm now going off on a large camel, so I think I'll get back to the picture! ITS GREAT!!! I'm now inspired, so after I've drooled over "Fair Elven Prince" (mmmmmmm.........Legolas............ drool) I'm going to go draw!!! Namarié! From Elróthiel, the Elven Goddess of Hilariosity and Laughter!

I personally think Tolkien that if Tolkien were alive now the poor old guy would have a heart attack if he saw all the slash going around. For all we know he could be rolling around in his grave right now.
