The Flame Drabbles and Oneshots

by let-me-touch-the-bodt

Wherein a fanfic author is annoyed by a review and takes her frustrations out on poor, helpless prompts. Yaoi/yuri/het within, multiple pairings, lemons/limes possible along with some crack. Fluffy to mature. You've been warned! Last published- GaaSasu/SasuGaa. Next up? To be decided (but probably KisaIta).

1. Introduction to the Flame

Hey, Hi, Hello.

Alright then. So this person gave me a review on FF for my fic TMK, The Memory Keeper. And what they said really affected me, hurt my feelings but also made me realize some things. As a note- when saying it, they were condescending and amazingly blunt. Though it was mostly truthful, what they said still really, really bothered me on some level. I suppose it's just the way they phrased it. I value their opinion, I really do, but I had to get those frustrations out and over with somehow or else it will be amazingly hard for me to write anything. So, to alleviate those hurt feelings and almost sickening realizations, I decided to do a special review response, civilized and honest, to their review. You know, explaining my reasons for doing certain things within the story. This led me on a search for their profile page, wherein I discovered another person's prof (completely unrelated, lol :P ) had something on their profile page. It's one of those, name your top ten characters from Naruto and answer the following questions. In it, they implied that many things in it (it being Naruto, fanfics, the world, you name it) wouldn't happen at all. In order to make myself feel better about what they said, and relieve aforementioned semi-rational frustrations, I decided to write at least 1,000 words for every question they answered for that little thing. All because this person just got on my nerves with the way they phrased things, their diction/syntax. Perhaps this is rude of me- but do I look like I care? No. No, I don't. I realized that what people think of my writing (their reviews/comments) shouldn't factor so heavily into my decision making processes whilst writing. So here it is- me not caring, and writing what I feel like.

First little drabble/oneshot should be out tomorrow. It's theme/prompt? -

What would you do if number one woke you up in the middle of the night? (Naruto)

NOTE-

If you are the reviewer I'm talking about, and you know who you are, please take no offense to this. This idea came along when I was just really upset about the tone of your review. It's nothing personal, just me trying to get rid of the frustration with myself, my story and your review that rose up. And this is how I'm doing it. Like I said, absolutely nothing personal. I'm sorry if this offends you or annoys you! Please know I mean nothing mean or unkind by it!
