I personally agree that fb from someone who states that they don't normally read your sub-genre (or pairing) is high praise indeed. I have both sent and received similar feedback. As we all know, I write predominantly B/A dark or angsty fic...and have had fb from people who have told me that they can buy B/A written the way I write it, but normally they don't like them at all. (Sadly, the fics aren't as well received by many B/Aers...*g*) I am sure that I have read pairings that don't appeal to me on some level...Oz/Angel for example, but in the hands of a talented writer, (lj user="glossolalia"> for example, the story is tremendous. I don't think there's anything wrong with telling a writer: "Hey, you know what, this isn't my normal thing, but this was fantastic." It's a compliment; at least I always intend it as one.
