Anon Commenting

I just realized I've had anon commenting turned off on this journal for years, shit. Sorry about that, and if anyone wants to comment anonymously from now on, feel free.

WILL DO, I suppose.

I would like to hear the return criticisms of the people I've called out over the years -- in ST fandom I was told that I wrote Sulu as too jealous and Chekov as too "effeminate," but that kind of characterization stuff is not so much what I care to hear opinions on.

[sekrit_omg]

Right now I am wondering if I should get room service fried calamari and cheesecake. This has got to be the worst idea, right? Right?

[formerdinosaur]

It sounds like the kind of very possibly regrettable and yet tempting thing I would do if I was there, so idk -- something in me is saying DO IT

I love your fics so much (especially your Sonny/Tom) any chance of some more. I'm sorry I'm so greedy but youre the only one out there who writes in voice. :) Either way youre awesome!

[hollycomb]

Thank you! You're not being greedy -- I appreciate the comment. At the moment, I doubt I'll return to writing in any of my old fandoms. I tend not to go back after I've moved on. I'm glad I wrote the Godfather fics back when I was into it, though! It was an intimidating canon to try to write for.

I still <3 you, bb. And your fics. I may have fallen out of fandom and haven't read fanfic in *years*, but your fics stay in my heart. It's corny, I know, but believe me, it's true. Don't let anyone criticise you on your character descriptions. Don't believe people who love to hate; believe those who have invested emotionally in words that YOU wrote. You touched people's hearts, you created emotion, you created heartache and beautiful mending of broken heart; all with YOUR words. Thousand of miles apart - continents away, believe me, and you made a real life difference in the lives of people you may never meet IRL. You are amazing and so is your writing and even if I never return to my fandom days, all the hours I've spent reading your fic will be closest to my heart. I hope your life turns out fabulous and beautiful. <3

[hollycomb]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you still think of me though you're not in fandom anymore, and your support means a lot. While they're certainly not perfect, I am proud that these fics exist and that people have enjoyed them. Thank you also for the well wishes, I really appreciate it. :)

i love that one kirk/spock fic you wrote and still feel sad that you were seduced away by karl urban.
also, i remember reading your sulu/chekov fics and thinking "this is how a story should make me feel". thank you for showing me how quality fandom really can be <3

[hollycomb]

Oh man, nahh, Karl Urban doesn't do much for me -- I did have that idea to write Jim/McCoy when Jim was a teen, but I'd be picturing McCoy as a hotter young dude, I think. Regardless, yeah, Kirk/Spock was fun to try but it never grabbed me the way Sulu/Chekov did.

Anyway, what you say about how a story should make you feel is a huge compliment to me, so thanks so much! I still have a ways to go with some writing technique things, but I always try to put my heart into these stories in a way that shows, and if I have any natural talent I hope that's it. Thank you for the note. :)

I wish you were in all my fandoms because your fic is the best ;___;

[hollycomb]

ahh, man, thank you so much <3 I wish I had more time/energy to be in multiple fandoms. Part of me wants to get back into SPN because I still love Castiel a lot.
