The objection to the premise of Zero is an extremely fair criticism and one I obviously can't refute nor would I try. It's just one of those things where the reader will either buy it or not, they'll come along or they won't. Some things are just dealbreakers.

Well I love the story! I'm going to embark on your other ones now!

In my early fanfic reading days I was not much interested in AU!AU but once I opened my mind I jumped right in and it become one of my favorite genres. I didn't have any trouble accepting the premise of ZATB because, I think, I read it, and I read most stories, without judgement or preconceived ideas of how something "should" be.
I don't see ZATB as some kind of morality play so the fact that Ennis "gets away with murder" doesn't enter into my judgement of the premise. I guess many people do buy the romantic quality in Ennis which just shows to go ya that one man's ceiling is indeed another man's floor.

I feel just the same. I wasn't interested in AU!AU either, but now I've quite enjoyed a number of them that were recommended to me. I hope I enjoy the other MadLori stories as much as I enjoyed this one.

Exactly. I don't like pimps and whores stories but lots of people love them. As someone said to me the other day, books are like opinions. That's why there are so many of them.

D's situation is somewhat analagous to the eleventybillion stories about vampires trying to atone for past misdeeds. That's a huge thing. Like Angel, for example.
