"You can't please everybody all of the time, and I've been doing the fanfic thing long enough to realize this. So I try to be really honest in my self-assessment of my work, and then I hope that you guys like it. And then, if you don't, I listen and try to decide whether I agree with you. ;-)"
That's eminently sensible. After all they are your characters and it's your writing and your imagination - but it's wonderful when an author does listen to the readers from time to time, so it's a bit of a two-way-street. You have the balance just right, I'd say.
