I wasn't going to read this book because I'm not big on fanfic but then I read your post. I love your attitude! What you said is absolutely right. You should not be at the mercy of your fans. As a paying reader, I prefer my author to take their time and create works that are of the highest calibre. I'm tired of those who churn out 5-10 chapters a week but neglect to read through and edit so all the content ends up chock-full of typos and awful grammar. (cringe) Anyways, consider yourself awesome because you've garnered a fan (me!) before they've even read your book!

I'm pretty sure it's "distraction" not "destruction"
