Um...hi

Aug 22, 2006 15:38

I'm new (as I commented on Juno_chan's story) and I thought I'd try my hand at one of these stories. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but then I never like my own writing and maybe other people will feel kinder about it ( Read more... )

I really liked this. I like how you have Bree make an effort aswell as Rex. Write more soon. :D

I´ll put it nicely, so I´m so furious right now I could explode- sorry you´ll get in the middle of it a tiny bit. Since you so pleasantly agree with Juno on people borrowing stuff or stealing it or whatever I did three stories on the aftermath of that scene including the I´ll stay if you make dinner idea- I don´t give a damn if people write the exactly same things than I do normally, I just wanted to show you that it´s not generally a good idea to agree to such nonsense without waiting for the reaction of the other members too. Apart from that, I think this story is brilliant, sensitive and really detailed and you got their feelings and way to talk and act quite well. It would definately be worth more chapters. I wish you a lot of fun over here and hope you´ll keep being creative.

I have a feeling I'm about to get a very nasty response, which makes me sad, because my intent wasn't to upset anyone. This is why I was so reluctant to say anything. *sigh ( ... )

Sorry! I actually swear that I must never have read that story. Seriously. Cross my heart. And I give anyone and everyone free reign to copy my stories word-for-word if they like because my stories are not terribly important to me, and after all it's fanfiction, and I am taking the scenes, characters, and actors' appearances, voices, and line delivery to make the story work and they CLEARLY do not belong to me (forgot a disclaimer, so there it is). I don't want to offend anyone. So let's not lift phrases from Juno's stories because it bothers her, but if it doesn't bother us, let's let sleeping dogs lie?

And I'm glad people like the story. And I'm sorry about the indentations. The lines were properly indented in Word. I'm new at the whole lj thing, too. Sorry to have gotten caught in the middle.

Exactly, thank you. :) Honestly, 'ideas' was a poor choice of words for me, because obviously ideas are going to be recycled from fandom. And seriously, like, if I saw someone write, for example, a divorce AU, I wouldn't think twice of it. It's only some phrases I noticed cropping up in a few pieces that started bugging me a bit, and I honestly didn't expect anyone to have an angry reaction.

As I said (more than once at this point ^^;; ), I think it should be the author's discretion. All I was saying was "I've kinda noticed a bit of , just wanted to put it out there because when it's my fics it made me a bit uncomfortable." I didn't mean for it to be any big deal and now I'm wishing I hadn't said anything at all.

I really enjoyed this! I loved Bree's worrying over what to wear. Everything that Rex and Bree said sounded very in character--I could really imagine them saying it. I thought Bree's mix of sharpness and acidity along with general happiness and warmth was wonderful and spot-on.

The only suggestion I may have is perhaps either indenting each new paragraph or putting spaces between them in the future, as it would make the format a bit easier to read.

This is definitely a great piece, and I look forward to more from you!
