Following a reply to a comment left on a fan fiction, I have decided to put it to vote.
There are evidently lots of people out there unhappy with the current situation, but we only have 4 members. Thus, I am throwing the floor open. How can we sort this out?
Please Vote below
[Poll #1353164]
I know I probably should have done this sooner, but this week has been kinda hetic and it honestly didn't cross my mind before. Please join [livejournal.com profile] virtualavengers to help us out. I apologise for the spelling error with Skrull. I used Word spell check on it, and it said it was alright. Unfortunately I forgot Skrull isn't reconised by Word. Sorry, Please don't kill me.

Springing the bait-and-switch "You think I'm giving him back to you but haha! I tricked you!" Fake!Cap plot twist on everyone On Memorial Day weekend was what convinced me of his dickishness. I mean, that plot line alone would have done it, since it's so obviously him deliberately raising readers' expectations only to dash them (like offering a kid an ice-cream cone that's been doused in tabasco sauce or giving your girlfriend a ring-sized jewelry box from De Biers that's empty), but it was a really unfortunate holiday to spring that little bit of gleeful fun at the readers' expense on everyone. I know the publication date wasn't under his control, but it was kind of the last straw for me, even more than putting Bucky in the costume (that's annoying, but the bait-and-switch thing was just gratuitously cruel).
