strange times, my friend
So, today, I got the first honestly sane* (*not that my other readers aren't sane...just that it's the first one I honestly agree with) comment on CoH, talking about how "after 31 chapters...it feels like you're beating a dead horse with a very large brick" and how the new chapters are "anything but new" and how my plot-hole coverups are "weird/stretched" and the fluff is "very pointless" and "repetitive." Really, the review was a lot nicer than I just made that seem, but I wanted to give it a short version. :P
My reply to her, mostly being gracious someone was honest and explaining why I agree, was very very long. I kind of wish I had saved it, actually.
It was very nice to tell someone about the problems I've run into with this story, mostly because I didn't plan it out at allll really, and thus it's stretched itself out AND moved faster than I wanted. A bizarre and horrible combination, guys.
I pressed send, and as I was going about my other rounds of internet sites to check before I sign off, I was in a lovely mood. Thinking, "Well, I'm glad someone's being honest...this explains not only the drop in comments lately, but why everyone is heroworshipping me. So nice to have a martyr be honest! And, I'm so excited for when I can start my next, well-planned out story." and then, I stumbled upon a PM from a reader I've never heard of...
"Hi, happy valentine!!

LONG LIVE KING BOWSER & QUEEN PEACH!!!!!P X B 4- EVER!!!!!"
sweetheart, really.
Can I be rude and say that, just by looking at Deanna's grammar, spelling, and sense of properity I already value her opinion above that of the girl who can't end a sentance without an exclamation mark and can't spell obvious right?
At the same time, Rpj IS a sweetheart. Maybe misguided, probably doesn't realize how repetitive and old my story's gotten, but a sweetheart.
And you know what I thought most after finishing reading it? (I've yet to reply)
I feel like Stephanie Meyer. :P
Please interpret that as you will. ;)
