I had someone hate one of my fics because I depicted a character they liked in a way they didn’t. I told them to go write their own. There are always trolls in any fandom. When you see this, just think “wanker” and move on. It’s not you, it’s them.

I know that. It still gets really old. It’s just not necessary to treat people who are already donating their time this way, and I have the right to decide not to subject myself to it any more. I could very easily just concentrate on my novel and writing for financial reward if volunteering my work is going to mean I have to take this sort of harassment and bullying. I don’t need that in my leisure space. Life is already full of that. I am not obligated to just suck it up and deal with it, you know? No one is.
