What will they think of next?

[cinpii]

I consider myself a veteran when it comes to fanfiction.  There's really not much that can shock me anymore.  There's always hate and drama over the yaoi/non-yaoi debate, and shipping the pairings I do, I've seen more than enough to satiate my need for conflict.

So imagine my surprise when I get ASCII art for a review.  Never seen anyone get that

Aww, I wish people put that much effort into reviewing my fics.

[cinpii]

i know, isn't it just ironic? you'd think that the readers who want you to write more would pour in more effort... but anyways, part of me wonders if this reviewer is spamming other non-yaoi writers. since you seem to be more active in the fandom, could you tell me if this is the case? because i've never seen ascii art as a review before.

[bobbissimo]

I'm thinking it's another case of the reviewer not liking the fact that you tack \'Non-yaoi' on the summaries of your stories, actually. Some people just don't get that non-yaoi =/= homophobic.

[cinpii]

and here i thought i was being pc AND doing everyone a favor labeling my fics as non-yaoi. amazing how some ppl equate 'non-yaoi' as 'anti-yaoi'.

Wow, aren't they creative!

[aspirea]

Wow. They put a lot of effort. LOLS. Apparently, the person is a bit... hahaha I won't say anything mean at all. I believe this person is at least under the age of 16! Cin, I don't want to go back to school [clings to PC] but I must go do some more chemistry stuff now ;o;

yah, that's why i'm so amused. my initial reaction to seeing this was 'blog topic!'. lol.

how is school coming? you're in your 2nd year now, right?

[aspirea]

today was my 1st day and i was like wtf. im sleepy and i want to go home and crawl into my bed. and sleep. fortunately though, my classes are all good. 8D just a bit sleepy from the study overload but all is well.

yeah, 2nd year now~~! 8D

LOL, yeah, I also think the person (the people) just kinda got pissed off at the 'non-yaoi' label. To the shallow-minded, non-yaoi sorta weighs kinda similar to anti-yaoi. Maa~ they'll figure out they're wrong someday and think back feeling embarrassed. XD

I think shippers should just support their pairings and leave everyone else alone. =w= It'd be nice if some people'd let us co-exist, lol.

[cinpii]

hey, if my writing can inspire this kind of creativity, i say, bring it on. ^o^

but yah, some ppl are really shallow minded. part of me wonders how they found my fic to begin w/, since that fic in particular was posted seven months ago, in january. i mean, you can't exactly find a fic that old w/o some margin of effort. *shrugs*

[keikeiaznqueen]

Haha, that shows how old these people are. ^__^ Because if they have so much time to search up the 'non-yaoi' tag that they so hate, really-- they should spend more time shipping their favourite pairings instead. ^0^ They can't be older than 15, hehe.

I wonder if there are more of these special comments. I'm pretty sure the commenter wasn't just aiming for het pairings, and such.

[cinpii]

i wondered about that too. if you find any, i'd be curious as to who else they extended 'gestures of friendship' towards. lol.

That's nice bird ASCII art. It's good you got that. I myself do not like hate, drama, and debates.

I read and reviewed both stories weeks ago. I hope more people will read them since they're good.

[cinpii]

lol, thanks. ever tried creating ascii art yourself? i tried when i was a lot younger, and even then, it was hard. i know i don't have any time or patience for it now, so receiving it makes it even more amusing, lol.

[speadee]

I never tried ascii art. I never had the time.

I have gotten the first chapter of my 1st fanfic up. I know it sucks, but it's here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/545204/speadee
