You're insulting the writers whom you claim to love!
Hey, writers, I'm sorry you take my thoughtful, heartfelt engagement with your universe and your characters as an insult. I really am. I hope you'll believe that it was never my intention to hurt your feelings by falling so in love with what you created that I started to have my own ideas about it.
It's like this: you created a signature dish, and I was lucky enough to taste it. (Thanks again, by the way; yum!) And then I came home and created a version that includes olives, just for kicks. And maybe you hate olives, and you're mortally offended that I had the gall to put olives in your recipe. But here's the thing: my making a version with olives in it? doesn't change your version. It happens that you inspired me, and I cook it this way for the friends who like to eat it. Those who don't like to eat it -- you included -- don't have to join me. And maybe next time I cook it, I'll try almonds, even if you're allergic. Or chocolate. Or using a little less salt. That's not meant to be disrespectful; it's just fun.
If you can't see it that way? I am really, really sorry you're distressed, but that isn't my fault, and it's not going to make me stop cooking in new and creative ways.
