I know intellectually that I should feel that way about fanfic but it's never my experience when it comes to futurefic.

The sequel talk really makes me nervous. I know it'll never happen but it bothers me to hear people suggest something so terrible. Not only does it undo the great ending but it's so absurd to pretend that these are actually ideas for sequels. They're obviously not show ideas. What they are are ideas for a fanfic someone might write.
