I think you are speaking of an thread at my journal.

There has been an ongoing debate between the two fandoms. I haven't read many C/A fic's. I think maybe 2 total. Speaking for myself, I love your fic's. Both rougevelvet and I say that you have spoiled us with your writing.=) You have really made that pairing very true for me, made the characters living, feeling, dimensional. I find I can't read other pairings because of how lifelike you have made them. Other pairings just seem untrue and unreal to me. Even other C/B fic doesn't seem right.

I am sure I've transformed Brian into a saint, as someone mentions, and put that way, I suppose that doesn't seem right. - I know that comment was a generalization about C/B fic. She has never read your stories and the few C/B stories that she has read have been like that. One of the C/A stories I read ages ago was like that towards Brian. They made him out to be a true demon, and nothing will stop him at all cost character. They left nothing human about him. That's what has turned me off to C/A fics in general.

That's why I love your Brian because you have made him human. He is insecure, vulnerably and unsure of himself. He has flaws. He's not perfect and that's a good thing.

Please continue to write. I hate to see you give it up because you have such a tremendous gift. I feel bad because I haven't been reading any VG fanfic at all. I see you and others on my friends list posting stories and I want to read them, but then get caught up in other things, then the guilt sets in. I'm so sorry about that. Just know that every story that I've read of yours holds a special place in my heart. Your writing has brought me to tears because the words are just so touching...so true. So you can't give up writing.

It's just I feel you deserve more that idolising "WOW!s", so when I can't say anything that sounds remotely intelligent and coherant, I tend to say nothing at all. - I know how you feel and do the same thing. My commenting (and posting) is sporadic at best.

I was just happy to see you posting again. There was a big gap of time where your name was absent from my friends list and it's just good to see you back. =)

*HUG*

Yes, it was your LJ. :-) I understand about not having enough hours in the day. I hardly ever manage to keep up with what others are posting on their LJ's, but when I did start reading this discussion, it kinda caught my eye.

I'm glad you clarified that part on your journal. I didn't really feel that it was directed at me personally, but it did make me think about what I write. So maybe that's not a bad thing. :-)

This will sound funny, but I'm actually happy that you can see the flaws in my characters. I don't believe in perfect people. No one is perfect, and besides, that would be way too boring to read. :-)

I did stop writing for a long time, but I'm really glad I came back to this. I knew something important was missing from my life, and now I can feel the difference.

Thanks for missing me. And don't worry about not posting. I know you're out there. :-)

Nice icons, btw. Love what you can do with those things. Always did.
