Okay. Backlash from the Thanksgving That Wasn't, in drabble form. I promised someone I would not link to it, but I'll tell you it was written by astrojen. I suppose it's fair game since it was posted in a community and not on her private journal. Bwahaha.

A comfort drabble for the ViggOrli's ( Read more... )

I see nothing wrong with it. It's a drabble. It's sweet and dedicated to someone. It's a simple and nice way to say to that someone that you care/thank this person for any reasons this writer has.

It has a nice mention of Viggo's tears. He cried from being heartbroken, but at the end his tears are those of happiness. So as little as this drabble is (and that's what drabbles are supposed to be - short), it makes a point.

Not all fiction, in my opinion, has to be well-researched, long, full of plots, etc; sometimes, it just comes from the heart.

one would hope that a heart would be more intellegent than that drabble was.

to paraphrase someone brilliant, "drabbles are well written, or badly written. that is all." and that one, my friend, was badly written. wake up and smell the reality.

LAAAAAAAAAME.

Before you call me your friend, have the guts to sign in. If you don't have an LJ, but I think you do, have the guts to leave your name and a contact address.

My post stated my opinion. You have the right to agree to it or not. Don't tell me to wake up and don't try to teach me. Chances are, I am twice your age.

Your first sensence made absolutely no sense to me. The ones that followed had a clear purpose of insulting. Did that make your day? Good for you.

In this case, not being "well-researched" seems to mean "author has never spoken to an actual human male."

And it's still cliched, melodramatic, and badly written, even if it "comes from the heart." Plus the implied insult to Orlando's fiance is irritating and uncalled-for.

Agreed. There are many good drabbles. This is not among them, in my opinion. And that's all it is- a personal viewpoint.

I see nothing wrong with it.

You're entitled to your opinion. :)

As you are entitled to yours. I am happy to agree on that. :)
