why do I do this to myself

[pez]

If the concept of the story is depressing enough to make you want to cry, maybe you should not write it.

This list has gotten short. I am pleased.

• [Skin Deep]


• [Lullaby]


• [Megane Rangers]


• [Worth] - IN PROGRESS


• [Here With Me]


• Higa KiteRin


• ZukaFuji


• That AU

But it's not like anyone cares.

"Well, I spent a month writing my heart out over this, so the least a commenter could do is spend an hour writing a Real Comment."

Okay, now that's Scary.

But as you can see on word_games, I welcome short comments. :) The only types of comment I don't like are:

- "I haven't got to this part of the manga so I don't understand what you're on about and have been spoiled" even though I put spoiler warning at the top. Along the same line, also those that say "oh, now that I've read your fic on this part of the recent manga, I understand what Liz was writing about in her fic!" orz
- Tardy comments. Such as this one, which pretty much speaks for itself.
- Those who clearly haven't read the fic properly. Calling yakuza!Niou cute, for example. What the hell.

I have been told multiple times in the past that my characterisation has problems, though. That I force characters into situations and make them react the way I want them to rather than the way they should. I don't know. Some people seem to violently disagree with my characterisation and I'd like to know where it went wrong, but nobody ever gave me a specific example.

Homigawd, those "I haven't read those chapters so I don't get this"-comments are the most USELESS waste of time, ever. Why do people insist of making such complete and utter asses of themselves in public? It's too stupid to even be insulting, it's just . . . STUPID! XD As for the other two examples, yes they speak for themselves. They're laughable and only good for a real big eyeroll and a flexing of the Polite-Muscle. Like Alison said below, they suck ass! ^^

The bit about forcing characters into situations is mysterious to me. Isn't that what fanfic is all about? "What if X happened to Y, how would Y react and how would Y's reactions affect Z and Æ?" But I suppose that's just me being naive again, huh? OR MAYBE THOSE PEOPLE ARE ASSHATS? Did you ever consider that? Especially what with the lack of arguments to back up their observations? 8D
