It's almost the holidays. I can't wait. I'm mentally exhausted, school is a b*tch. I will be able to write...lots...I hope.

Talking about writing, I got many reviews for my loveathons entry, and not always good ones. So yeah, I got to say I was expecting it, because I knew I was writing a harsh Veronica, I knew it. But when somebody said I was writing ( Read more... )

Blah. As an oldie from several other fandoms, don't let what anyone else has to say affect you unnecessarily. When it comes to constructive critique - which I honestly think that reviewer was trying to give you, although she might have handled it in the wrong way - it's hard sometimes to swallow something when we feel so in touch and close with the characters at hand. I know when I first started writing for VM, I was told quite a few times that I'd written Logan and/or Veronica OOC, and they gave me reasons why. While it didn't upset me too much, seeing as how I was essentially still a newbie (still am, I guess lol) and therefore they probably knew what they were talking about better than I did, it still was a bit embarrassing to hear. But at the same time, I was glad for the negative reviews because it made me sit back and take stock of my writing and delve more deeply into what I see when I look at my characters. And from that, I feel like I've grown leaps and bounds even in such a short period of time. Now I receive compliments ( ... )

Thanks. I'm not mad at anyone, nor the people that didn't like the fic nor at myself, because in the end I'm satisfied with the way I wrote it. I take those comments and they will help me improve my writing, I'm sure. This was an experience for me, the first time I wrote a fic this way, putting the characters in such hard situations, and of course, this couldn't be perfect. So i'm glad when people liked it, and in the end, I'll be glad that some people criticized it, because I'm sure that eventually, it'll help me write even better.

Ok lj ate my last post. So I'll summarise: I'm biased but IT WAS IN-CHARACTER DAMNIT! I should know. I have little to no tolerance for OOC Logan and Veronica. I stop reading like that!

I think the fic just depressed people because it is clearly something that could have happened. So they blamed you.

I hate getting negative comments on stuff I write. I used to feel gutted (still do). But you've just got to realise that while that person doesn't like it others do.

Congrats on your anniversary! Have you heard about your internship yet?

I'm okay with negative reviews, if they're constructive. They can be, and that one was, at least for me. So don't worry for me ;). And thanks, I trust you and I know you would have said something if you thought this was very OOC.

I'll hear about my intership in January...I can't wait ! *bounces around*. But at least the interview went well. The girl liked my english, heh ^^

And yeeeeeh, I'm proud of Matty and I ^^

Hey don't get hurt by it. I've read the fic and soooo did not think you went out of character. It was something really expected out of her character. Some people just refuse to see this side of Veronica coz seriously dang that girl can be a heartless selfish bitch. Take Blast from the Past for example. She was this close to destroying Jackie's life with that cd. I guess some people are still not ready to accept "dark Veronica" as of yet.

Yeah, and in Blast of the Past she so didn't care about Wallace. That hurt me deeply.
