Yeah I mean I won’t read MCD. I might read cheating – I have before, and liked some and not liked others – and I’m writing at least two stories that involve infidelity- but some people are really uncomfortable with it so better to err on the side of tagging and explaining.
Yeah, I mean, I usually don’t read MCD or infidelity either, but if there is an explanation in author’s notes I’ll be more willing to give it a chance.
I’m just trying to cover my own butt, really. All the characters in this work screw up – some I would argue are worse than others and I almost think there’s something worse than infidelity going on in the fic. But, I can’t control what’s going to turn readers off. Kinda sucks, but it is what it is. That’s the risk you take when you write things where characters screw up.
