Another rant. I seem to be on a roll.
I'm pretty sure you were talking about me in your meme. I know you left my name out of it. But what you wrote was oh so transparent. The big tip off was 'quantity over quality.'
You were right. It would hurt my feelings to know that's what you really think of me. I'm sure I'll get over it. But I'm probably not going to be able to look at you the same way again. Especially knowing how you really feel.
In the meantime, I'm going to get this off my chest:
Here's a tip. this is fanfiction. I do this for fun and my own personal enjoyment. I let you see it because I think that maybe you might like it. If you don't, then fine. You're welcome to your opinion. But have the guts to throw it out there. Otherwise keep it to yourself. Don't do things halfway.
If my crack!fic strays into wish fulfillment, I'd like to point out that, once again, I write this for fun and my own personal enjoyment.
I pour my guts out, and cry and sweat and scream and stay up late at night and rewrite, re-write, re-write on my original fiction. And it's won a truckload of awards from other people who make money at this business. My first published piece was re-written 12 times before it was good enough to be published.
Sorry if my fanfiction isn't up to your standards. I respect your right to an opinion. But if you want more from me, then buy the book that I poured my soul into. Don't poke sticks at something I write to blow off steam.
I'm turning off comments. I've said my piece on the matter. I don't feel like discussing it further.
