When I first saw you had written for my prompt I was very thrilled as you're a favourite writer of mine, so thank you for writing a story for me.
However while I'm sure this is a great story I can't bring myself to read it, I gave it a try and couldn't get past the first line. It's not that the story isn't slash as I enjoy gen and friendship fic very much. Its because stories focused solely on the childhood of characters that are adults in their film/tv show/book is an incredible pet hate of mine. I didn't think to mention my dislike of characters as children in my prompt as I'd requested slash (and this is C6D not HP so I doubted there'd be any overlap).
If you do continue this as a larger story I'd love to read the adult years but even so I appreciate the time and effort that you put into writing a story for me even though it's not really my thing (and I hope that you aren't offended by this, as I didn't want to lie and say I loved it when I haven't read it or just say nothing and have you think I was rude and not appreciative of the effort you put in).
