Fic fail

Aug 03, 2010 09:00

I just got a review of TPP, wherein someone has told me that I have now turned them AWAY from their original idea of Sheldon/Penny, because I'm so cruel to poor little Leonard. I've done him an 'awful disservice', because 'he's not like that'. Apparently, my fic seems 'desperate', and I made Penny and Sheldon into nasty people to deliberately ( Read more... )

where did i go wrong?, writing, life

Yeah, I'll agree with what everyone else is saying: that reviewer is either a troll or already had an unconscious bias toward Leonard and didn't want to read something that showed him for what he was.

It's a bit worrisome, if people can look at the facts, and still think he's a nice little guy who gets a raw deal. Still, they have the show to bolster their view. *sigh*

Someone went into the story a fan of L/P, and came out the exact same way. No chance whatsoever that they're not trolling with that comment.

Dunno why they felt they had to take the time, really. Most puzzling.

Because you've gotten a lot of approval and praise for something they don't like, and so they want to tear you down. It's stupid, but it's a really common phenomenon.

*grins* Oh, yes, I've been here before...

This was more of a *facepalm* than a serious freak-out. :)

This made me laugh out loud in the library. There goes my coffee.

I know. :) The shame of it...

I absolutely loved loved loved TPP and can't wait to see more fics from you.

Reading through some of the comments here, I agree that vampires should not *sparkle*
(I've made it a rule now that only Goblin Kings are allowed to sparkle *grins*)

Don't let the trolls get you down. You rock.

*sniggers* Well, you've now seen what happens when the 'Labyrinth' love in my head collides with all the other madness in there. I'm fairly sure there are some very strange staircases in the Dark Keep...

In my world, trolls are big stone things with clubs. :)

I'm with greekgrrl3-Love TPP and look forward to more from you. Don't let some random troll get to you. You actually made me not dislike Leonard so much. Also, Raj (Who TBBT is not showing in the best light).

Thank you. :) More fic may be inflicted in time. Yeah, I was quite surprised that I was able to find some redeeming features in the little toerag, myself - more reason than the show has ever given. Oh, Raj - every time there's mention of porn or he acts like an asshat, I just cringe. He's much funnier when he's being a bit sweet and clueless. (So is Sheldon.)
