Haha well I'm not going to talk trash (much) since there are always going to be stories you like and stories you don't, and who knows, maybe she'll one day write a story I care about but I *respectfully* disagree with your statement of her having good characterization (from the very long fic anyway) for now.
But that's the thing about writing! There's so much of it out there, you want variety because when something truly speaks to you, it only makes it that much more special. And it takes an extraordinary writer to write something that speaks to MANY people. There's nothing wrong with cheesy fluff, or super angst and everything in between. And quite honestly, if your fic specifically (I do believe she was calling you out as an example) was the worst thing she's seen, that speaks to a level of being sheltered IMO. There are some...disturbing things out there. Maybe not in Community, but in general. I don't think people should seek those out necessarily, but they're there.
Anyway, yes forever for stanning Troy =) He's just like a puppy to me.
Also, I don't think I ever started reading the fic "Your Mother Loves You...", I'll look it up tomorrow (I'm supposed to be sleeping now, shhh)
*Edit: I made life easier and added you to an email alert. So pardon the stalking, but I am officially stalking your LJ
Also I added you as a friend here on my personal journal and on my fic journal
Haha, respectfully disagree if you wish, I ain't takin no offence :)
And thank you, I thought I was mad for thinking that it was a post directed at me as some people had said it probably wasn't me who had been the trigger for her post. I think it's blatantly obvious I was. I completely agree though that there are worse things in the world than what I put down in THAT fic. Fics in other fandoms are downright disgusting. I don't think anyone in this fandom who writes has ever gone over that line - and even if they did I wouldn't criticise. I simply wouldn't read it or comment. If it offended me so much that I felt something needed said I would directly message them, not piss all over their journal or the community.
The fic I mentioned of mine is a bit dark, about domestic abuse. I stopped writing it after the MM post from that member because I couldn't get inspired, constantly second guessing what I was doing to the characters but I'm back in the zone and I'll be updating soon.
I've added you too with email alerts hon. I'll be stalking you too so we're cool. Cool cool cool.
