I just don't even know what to make of comments like this:

Thank you so much! I feel...well, pretty honored actually that a writer like
you is reviewing my stuff. So, thanks again for taking the time to review!
Lovin' the kekeke. :D

Writer like me?  When did this happen? >_>

*confused*

LOL. Well, you are pretty well known in the fanfic world. Take it as flattery. Maybe you should try anonymous reviewing.

You know...that's what I'm saying. This isn't false modesty. I know some of my fanfics are really popular - but that's for the plot, not the actual writing. But lately, I've been getting more and more comments from people about how I'm such a sparkle wonderful writer, blah, blah, blah. *bangs head* It's downright frightening honestly. It's actually kind-of scarier than people flaming the fic for being popular despite poor writing skills. >_> Of course, I've improved over the years, but sheeeeeeesh, I'm not a "writer like you" as this person claims by any means. *suddenly feels pressure*

Love your Ever After Icon.

It's been so long since I've read any fanfic outside of submissions for the archive, I don't really remember your writing style that well. I'll have to look one of yours up when I have the time :)

Hmm, well one hand a lot of SM fanfic writer that I've read lately don't write that well or write moderatel well. I just read one that had me ROFL, it was written so bad. So I could see how some fanfic readers/writers would be impressed by good writing. O.o I hope I didn't just sound snobbish, LOL. I know I greatly improved my writing when I was getting my BA in English. I'll have to write another fanfic soon, I don't think I've written one since my early college years (besides a few drabbles).

Eh...it's true. I get it. It is nice when you find a writer that has a clue how to form a proper sentence and write adequate dialogue. It doesn't sound snobby to me. I think the longer one is in the fanfic world, the more picky we get and we start to really sort through the plethora of trash out there. >_>

If you're going to hunt down any of my stuff, I'd read my most recent PoT stuff, it's probably my best stuff yet. I have a new fanfic I recently wrote for it and I'll be uploading it on ff.net sometime after the 1st, since it's currently under the secret of the fanfic exchange. XD

You SHOULD write some more. I would love that.

I think your writing is pretty good, plus your plots are original. That, and you can usual tell when an author loves what they are writing, and that always makes me enjoy a piece more.

Your stories must be popular for some reason. ;) People are always the most critical of their own work.

You're very sweet, thank you. And what you said, I think it's fairly accurate. I write decently good, with somewhat original plots, and I write what I love - as a result they are fairly popular. That's normal and balanced, comments like yours make me feel appreciated and good about writing fanfic. But would you feel "honored" if I reviewed your fanfic? You know? That's like BNF fanfic writer type of treatment. Undeserved for me, let me tell you. I'm no epic fanfic writer by any means. That's where my WUT is coming from it's like - are you serious? And this isn't the first type of talk I've had of this. It's mostly been since I entered PoT fandom though. Maybe it's just a PoT fandom thing? >_>

Well first I'd have to get off my butt and write something, but I know that I would definently appreciate it. There's something about being a reader, and reading stories by an author that you consistantly enjoy and admire, and to have that person come and look and what you write and reciprocate those feelings that can give you warm fuzzies I think. Have you ever had someone that you admired review one of your fics?

You don't have to be an epic fanfic writer to be awesome, especially in the PoT fandom if you enjoy a good Ryoma/Sakuno fic. They are hard to find sometimes. XD And with fanfic in general, if you can find a writer that can put characters that we know and love into situations we haven't seen them in before while still keeping them in character then I am a happy reader. I think you do that well. :)

Ohhhh yes! Write something!! >) I would love that. I think you might be on to something. ^_^ I don't think there have really been many fanfic writers that I truly admired. Lots that I loved for one aspect of there writing or another, but I don't know as though I've hit one yet that was just everything I love and more. Maybe I'll have to go through all my faves again and see if that holds true. I *have* been reading fanfics for over 10 years, so it's rather possible that I've simply forgotten. >_>

Yeah, it's true that RyoSaku stuff can be quite few and far between. (One of my reasons for the fanfic exchange. *laughs maniacally*)

And thank you again. You give me the warm fuzzies. <3
