I know what you mean; it's a good thing for a author to be flexible in her/his thinking cause that means you are able to see issues from various perpectives and it can be a very enriching experience, not to mention that you learn and improve from it as well :> High-fives for loving to read!:D
Haha, but what if I read too much when there really isn't anything deeper behind it or worse, I read it wrongly?D: It's a good fic, it deserves to be given recognition; I am simply doing that :)
-giggles- Haha, I am glad too; it never hurts to give writers the encouragement!^^ I know how much it means when someone comments/likes your fic and engages you in a discussion over it; your world suddenly feels so much brighter and reading them really cheers you up :'D I think I can understand why you feel that way; his character doesn't seem to give off that image right?:'D The reason why I had that idea was due to one particular part in the story where Tezuka ponders over how Fuji may not be entirely human and marvels at how the latter is able to adapt. In the next major paragraph, the subject is again brought up and this time I get the feeling that Tezuka is unsettled because Fuji is beyond his ability to understand and he feels that he is unable to catch up with the tensai. This particular sentence was what really made me feel that Tezuka in some way or another, felt a bit inferior: Tezuka knows that if he follows suit he'll plummet or drown and die.
It's my pleasure :> I have the same problem too and I always feel bad when things don't turn out the way I envision them to be ><;; I am glad it still turned out a very pleasant read :D Haha, thank you so much for the compliment!>w< Most of my fics usually don't get much comments/reviews so I often get depressed thinking that my pieces are horrible; it's really heartening to know that you bothered to read it and more importantly, tell me that it's sweet! -♥ you for that-
You too! Of course; hope you don't mind if I friend you back!:D

Very true - except if I read classics and I'm too lazy to come up with a decent interpretation on my own and I go to sparknotes and just nod along. /phail. I never really like reading books for school - I don't know.
It can't be wrong, because it's yours, isn't it? As long as it makes sense.
I agree with you on that - it's a very nice feeling indeed! Ah, I can see where'd you'd see that - it makes total sense. So maybe he does feel inferior after all. When I wrote that sentence my thoughts were something along Tezuka being a ground-dweller, teehee.
Your fics aren't horrible! Really, the number of reviews don't determine the quality of a piece of writing - sometimes people read a fic on their phones and hate to write comments on them so they don't, and other times they just can't find the words to describe. people like me /phails
Yay! /goes and friends

Haha! Sometimes I feel lazy too and when it's just too tiring to think, I ask around from interpretations and then build on them to form my own interpretation xDD It depends for me but usually I don't mind reading any literary text as long as it's not formulas or something @_@
Aww, thanks~ //'w'// I need to start giving more weight to my own opinions and not be scared to be the odd one out :o
Writers eat them for dinner!xD -nom nom nom- Your view also makes sense to me; it is true that Tezuka is a more realistic down-to-earth sort of person, hence he is unable to understand Fuji whose character is completely opposite to his and he knows that he wouldn't be able to thrive in the kind of environment that Fuji would feel completely at ease in. I like this interpretation too, it fits well as a character analysis in the fic :>
Haha, thanks!:> It's just how so many of my fics are like that and I see other fics posted at the same time getting plenty of comments so after this repeats itself too many times, I kinda get disheartened ^^;
:DDD -waits for the friend notification to pop up-

Well, reading books for school kinda feels like you're not supposed to enjoy them, hahaha. The teachers all want you to find 'Meaning' so much that sometimes it feels like the text became a lab specimen, and it gets too much, because I actually want to let the story I read be a story DX!
Odd people are awesome - there is nothing more boring than being normal, hahaha.
And breakfast and lunch depending on time of day! xD. I've only said 'ground-dweller' and look what you've come up with. You're awesome.
Don't get disheartened - there's this quote about how a writer should write only for one person, him/herself, so write as long as you enjoy writing, and don't think about the feedback!

I know what you mean @_@ I used to analyse literature books for one of my subjects and while it was kinda fun doing it since I loved to think about such things; I often analysed it in a way that my teacher didn't think was correct...what can I say :/ I agree; sometimes, it's good to just read something and be able to take it at it's face value. It's the reason why I occasionally just read fics which don't really have much plot but are just happy/fluff/humour filled; they make me happy and my brain gets to rest from all that analysing and disecting of stories xDDD
Hahaha, that's a new perspective; I only wish more people would recognise that and stop following cliche ideals that say people who don't fit in are people to be dispised :/
YUPS, NOTHING BEATS WAKING UP AND READING A COMMENT ON YOUR FIC. IT'S LIKE HAVING PANCAKES IN MAPLE SYRUP, SWEETENS YOUR WHOLE DAY :333 You are too nice -'w'- That doesn't seem like much analysis to me, it was the word that spoke volumes -is shot-
I have heard that quote before!:> I try to tell that to myself whenever I get disheartened though sometimes I can't help it when doubt sets in and I wonder if my works are good enough, especially what with all the superb writers around ^^;

True, that. I used to get horrible marks at my Literature classes. I've been reading a lot of guilty pleasure WAFF lately - they turn me into mushy pink goo on the floor and it's wonderful.
I guess that's where the anti-conformist movement comes from. Although anti-conformists are extreme in the other direction, so that's not really reassuring.
OH SO MUCH. Especially after you've just wrested with a particularly stubborn printer and a couple thousand words that you don't know what about. The word itself is just a word describing animals that walk on land - all the connotations and such are from your perspective of the word. So I say that's quite some analysis you got there.
That is so true. There are so many brilliant writers around - kind of bumps your self-esteem a bit, hahaha.

Same here. That's the problem with language subjects; there is no fixed marking scheme hence the markers can mark as they like and woe be upon anyone who writes something they disagree with...^^; -so unfair sobs- WAFF? Hahaha, mushy pink goo, I can imagine that, with a look of pure bliss and contentment on the top too hohoho xDDD
You have a point there; balance exists to counter extreme and ensure neither has leverage over the other I suppose :o
CLOUD NINE~ You print your fics?:> I wrestle with my horrible erratic muse, mental block, and then with my keyboard and mis-spellings in Microsoft Word. That's not the end yet; there's still horrible horrible lj and it's annoying habit of eating up the words and format I painstakingly created or making them look oh so ugly in an entry and reader unfriendly ;_; Pfft, words are associated with the meanings and ideas right? It's all a chain; I suppose all it takes is to hit the correct word/s and applied to a certain scenario, you will get a whole string of interlinked ideas, no?xD
THERE ARE TOO MANY ;_; Okay I guess I am being a little extreme here Now weren't we having a discussion just only about extremes, ideals, people or otherwise? -is shot- On one hand, it's great to have such a wide variety of authors of all kinds of unique styles who are adept at weaving worlds and plots that just leave you slivating for more and wishing they would write for your area of interest. On the other hand, the market is flushed with so much talent that it's hard to make space for new ones who would like to enter and develop as well. It's a trade-off once again; alas! the world works like that.

It's really difficult if you (general you, of course) have a particularly divergent teacher. Or maybe you're the deviant one - but you can't tell that by yourself, really. I love WAFF so much it's like Nutella.
Oops, no, lol. I'm tree-conscious xD. I would if I could, though, since seeing things on paper feels better, somehow. What I meant was, usually I write my fics in conjunction with a lab report or something, so I'd have more than two MS Word windows open and it's kinda confusing. And the printer eats my papers without spewing anything back - I don't know what it wants from me anymore. Spelling errors in MS Word are something we all face - it's especially bad in winter when my fingers are all numb. And I share your pain with LJ format ;_; It depends on both message conveyer and conveyee \o/ LJ says conveyer and conveyee are not words why aren't they words.
I don't really think that's too extreme. There are so many - most people say old fics are better so I wonder if it's because the old wonderful wonderful authors scared the new ones away? But I say, to hell with with fear! If you want to write you write! \o/ And I'm grateful to those authors - their stories are masterpieces and always leave a mark.

Hmm, that sucks; I was expecting that the dictionary will know when to select 'hell' and when to type 'he'll' :o
Haha, my lit teacher that time was a rather eccentric one (actually most lit teachers are kinda eccentric lol) who, well, had pretty strong views and they carried over to her belief in what is the right interpretation...I am not the deviant one!...right? What's WAFF?:o
The cold isn't so much of a problem here; it's more of the heat waves which really leave you feeling half dead >< Typing into the wee hours of morning is another thing that's inevitable too; once again, muse's fault :/ They aren't? I did think 'conveyer' at least is a word @_@ Me thinks lj's kinda broken...
It kinda depends I think; for authors who publish their stories via the traditional method, the crowding out effect does apply. On the other hand, for those who simply use the mass media to publish their works, it's pretty easy and not too restrictive so more authors have a chance to flourish there and even gain recognition :) It's true though that they have left behind a lot of masterpieces; sets the bar higher for incoming authors ^^

No, no, I wasn't suggesting you're the deviant one! It's a general 'you', bad phrasing on my part, sorry Dx. But really, there's nothing wrong with being a deviant - really, the base definition is someone different - but I guess it's all the connotations attached to the word. WAFF stands for 'Warm And Fuzzy Feeling' - fluff, basically. Beautiful beautiful cotton candy fluff.
Egad I love winter so much more than summer. I can't stand summer - especially since they're above 40 degrees here. Watching New Year fireworks at temperatures that could denature your enzymes really puts off your spirit. It's funny how most authors have this love-hate relationship with their muse, lol. 'Conveyor' is a word. I think it's probably an American-British English thing?
Being a published author seems so scary, sometimes, hahaha. It's like the pressure of churning out good stories with an incoming deadline - kinda takes the joy of writing, maybe? But it's probably just my opinion - I avoid pressure like the plague orz.

Haha, I get it don't worry, was just teasing you ^^ Yeah, there have been just too many negative connotations associated with it that people automatically think the worst when they come into contact with it :/ I love fluff so that means I love WAFF too; it's the stuff that you live on when you are exhausted from your tussle with mind boggling deep fics :3 Oh man, I wanna eat cotton candy now; have had it in a long while ><
I think my attitude towards either extreme is the same - do not want. I prefer the temperature to be balanced, warm but not hot, the kind that makes you feel a little sleepy, comfy and generally contented -w- I focus only on the aesthetic value of fireworks; thinking about the temperatures which they explode at is something that I frankly don't really want to think about >< I think it's pretty normal given how most muses are flighty erratic creatures; at times you feel like squishing and cuddling it, at other times, you get exasperated with it ^^; Perhaps? Sometimes some sites set their default to American English so my words keep getting red squiggly lines under them :/ I take it Australian English follows the British way of spelling?
It is; the pressure can sometimes work in an adverse way and you can lose some of the fun which comes from the sheer ability to write only when it fancies you. I am guilty of that too unfortunately ^^;
