A fan in 1994 wrote about Lovett (and [[Gayle F's]]) choice of poses:
{{Quotation|I don't feel threatened by male pinups who are staring directly into the camera. In [[slash]] art this is quite common, perhaps in imitation of cheesecake photos, where the women usually stare saucily or poutingly at the viewer.... [It] is interesting but doesn't do much for me emotionally -- for the same reason some fans don't care for [[Gayle F]]'s or Suzan Lovett's art. The poses are too reminiscent of cheesecake photos, and thus make the subject seem overly effeminate. Yes, this attitude is politically incorrect, but I can't help my taste. I've been indoctrinated by society to prefer subjects who are less passive, less self-absorbed. (So why do the 'effeminate' qualities of [some mainstream erotic art] art bother me, while similar qualities in Suzan's and Gayle's art do not? I think it's because I know the subjects in fan art, while all I know of Sleigh's subjects is what she shows me.) <Ref> from a fan in [[Strange Bedfellows (APA)]] #6 (August 1994) </ref>}}

During a 2006 discussion about [[Harlequin Airs]], one fan remarked: {{Quotation|I don't think the art was particularly them either, I just like Suzann's [sic] work on its own (except for the prominent penis thing ;) ) I can enjoy semi-lads art much the same as many readers can enjoy semi-lads stories. It's not so much a tendency to feminise Doyle as it is to morph him into [[Starsky]]... But that's a Suzann thing." <ref> from a July 2006 discussion at [http://ci5hq.livejournal.com/5562.html CI5hq] </ref>}}
