Thanks. I've seen a lot of fanfics (in numerous fandoms) where any potential love interest outside of the accepted pairing is treated as evil. I try to avoid that (unless it's canon, and sometimes even then I'll write the other potential love interest sympathetically).

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
