I probably shouldn't feel this way, but after reading one of the reviews I got for [Threshold], I feel horribly discouraged. I probably screwed up the characterisation? But I mean, how can you confuse Tezuka with Echizen...?

The other review saying she found two of the lines off, that's fine to me. There were points I tried to get across with those two lines and I don't think she understood. In fact most of my fics have meanings tucked into lines that probably most readers don't realise because hell, people read too fast and without thinking. But that's fine, that's people's habits, as long as there are a few who do see the meanings I'm happy.

If anyone does ask I'm happy to explain the fic or any of my fics line by line. But I do wonder if anyone is that interested at all. *L*

Bah I just woke up. Hope everyone's feeling shiney today.

*hugs* Don't feel discouraged na! That's a great fic. And I got your underlying meaning in some of your fics. ^^;; I'm not that intellectual enough to understand all. But I do get what you are trying to get across. ^^ And I should say, your fics are wonderful!

Echizen and Tezuka have... common points. Confusion can be understaood; and you said it yourself, people read too fast.
I didn't review that fic because I was feeling completely numb yesterday, but I had no doubt about who it was about :p .

Discouragement is a bad, bad thing, cause that means you don't write. *pout*

I can't really review, because it's not a fandom I know, but I can say I loved the rhythm and the structure. They're things I work hard on in my own writing, so I really appreciate them in others.

I know what you mean, about those hidden meanings. I think of them as rewards for people who read beyond the smut, if that doesn't sound too conceited? I mean, I agree with you that it's fine for people to get whatever they want/can out of the story. But there's some readers who are just on the same wavelength as you and really get the treasures. And that's a warm, fuzzy, special feeling. ^_^

You've probably got the post-posting blues, hon. Don't let it bother you. I'm sure the characterisation is fine, and if I enjoyed it without knowing who the fuck they were - well, you're doing something right, ne? *hugs*

that was blah hon ... I read it and don't understand it...

I loved the story when I first read it, and I still do now, and I never got a glimpse of Echizen in it, because... well...Echizen is a snarky bastard and Tez is deep, aand you wrote a magnificent Tez

Thank you so much! You read it even though you don't know the fandom... thank you!

Yes... it makes me sometimes torn between writing the way I do now and writing a bit more "obviously", but it makes me feel like I'm stating the bleeding obvious and insulting the readers in a way *L* In all fandoms there is always a large variety of the readers it's hard to think what to do. But that's part of the fun too ^^

Like you said I probably had the post-posting blues. Waking up to read that first before everything else dampened my spirits a bit ^^" Thank you so so much for reading and liking it, this means a lot to me! :)

*hugs* Thanks so much! I normally don't feel so insecure, but I read that comment first thing I woke up, and the reader was almost saying she didn't know who I was writing about, so I got worried >_<

It's not really "intellectual" or anything ^^ (because if it is, it's not written by me, I can't write anything clever =P) it's just taking the time to digest the words. And I'm so glad you read my writings and like them! *hugs again* Thank you!
