In all seriousness, I can only echo what's been already said. So many people on Tumblr seem to forget that the whole POINT of fanfic is sometimes to explore all the various POTENTIAL possibilities that are out there, and just because you write a certain plotline doesn't mean you necessarily want said plotline to actually happen. (Hell, I once wrote a Quantum Leap fanfic where because of timey-wimey reasons, Sam Beckett actually never leaped in the first place and was happily married to his wife as a result. It was one of the most depressing stories I ever wrote.)
They also seem to forget that you don't necessarily CHOOSE your plots (even if they aren't gifts). I mean, I had no intention of writing a story that delved into John's survivor guilt due to Sherlock's (supposed) suicide, but that's what the damn muse wanted.
I know you're one of the few fanfic writers that I will read regardless of what it is: you could write a story shipping tea and a cup, and I'd read it and kudo it. (Great - if you actually write this up, I write fanfic under the name Kylara Ingress .)
Sometimes, fandom means you have to have a thick skin about what you like and what you do - and that sucks.
