Some people are annoyed/disappointed, and have voiced their feelings in reasonably calm terms. Then there are the ones who, well, have not. I don't think anyone on my flist has flown off the handle, but various people in other places sure have.
I received the most beautiful flames when I wrote a Doggett/Scully story. My favorite might be the one that started by calling me a sicko with serious mental problems and deteriorated from there. I also knew an author who was regarded as a traitor because she switched from writing Mulder/Scully to Doggett/Scully. And so much more. Those were the days, indeed. The Buffy fandom also got bad at times, much worse than DW has so far.
