thanks a lot, especially regarding the advice on asking for the email address, that sounds very sensible, that it would be okay to ask, if one had contact via comments before!
Which can even be easily achieved!
And I can totally agree on your explanations regarding the different perceptions of words, depending on what kind of character is used. Or rather is using that word. Still, well, I have found a method to avoid telling that the respective authors, and still can enjoy their fics :D I just copied the story to a word document, and replaced that word on my own , so that while rereading the story, the cringe-factor would just not come up again. Its a win-win situation, this way, I can go back and even compliment the author a second time (because leaving kudos a second time is not possible -sadly- at ao3.)
