annoyed

Weird, I got like three 'hate' reviews on my ff.net stories in one weekend. I checked all my story description, and they all have slash warning. Don't know why people were reading them if m/m stories bother them so much

Comments

Don't worry about their comments. They're not worth paying attention to if they don't say anything besides "OMG, like, this sucked." and then you have to wonder why they even bothered telling you that anyway. There are many authors who *do* really suck, and they don't stop writing when they get bad comments, so why should an author who gets so many good comments anyway worry about what they think? Just forget about them. It's not worth your time. :)

Thanks. I am a bit overly touchy when people trashed my things by pretending they know what they are talking about, when in reality they didn't have a clue of how ridiculous the comments were. I am a bit immature when it comes to that *sigh* It's something I need to work on.

Works been crazy lately, probably a bit overstressed. Decided I will take it easy for this week. Watching Matrix Reloaded on opening day, happy =) Okay, enough babbling now. Must go start my experiment.

I saw some of those comments when I was leaving my own for your stories. What I wanted to know is why someone would expect a story that's still a WIP to have a climax? (S)he couldn't have really *read* the story if she was expecting a conflict, climax and resolution to have happened already. As for originality, I had an English teacher who insisted that there were only a few real possible plotlines in literature so what made a story good wasn't the storyline itself but how the author presents it.

In any case, there are a great deal of us who do enjoy your work so I wouldn't feel too badly about it. Besides, it seems like the bad reviews came from people who have zero attention span. They probably skimmed the first two paragraphs and made their judgments from there. I for one was thrilled that you updated the stories and am eagerly awaiting the next chapters for all of your FPS fics.

Thanks for the encouragement. I agreed totally that there is very few possible plotlines. I actually had this same argument with a friend about whether a film was a 'rip-off' of a computer game, hehe.

Yeah, in general, I get annoyed by unsubstantiated criticism from people pretending to know what they are talking about. I guess I just take everything too personally *sigh* I really need to learn how to not let things like that get to me =)

Next update should be LoF, I do try to do everything in order, hehe, but that's not going as quickly as anticipated. Let's hope I get it done soon, I already got some reviews asking why I haven't updated, hehe.

Flamers :P

Thanks for the encouragement. got more flames today, they are still annoying, but I am no longer taking them 'personally' =) Been too busy and stressed out to write, but it's a long weekend and the very fact of not going to lab should make me feel better. Sorry for not updating as often as I should. I will try to get that fixed soon, hehe
