WRITERS NOTE:
okay, so I just wanted to reply to a flame that I recently got, because I really pissed me off. So I am really sorry for interrupting everyone reading the story and enjoying it, but this review really pissed me off:
hi.
I've readall of your story, and i was more than a bit disgusted and sad at some parts.
you have captured Grissoms and sara's emotions pretty well, but don't you think that you're story glorifies rape? you make it seem like Sara isn't suffering mentally from a rape, but she must be. I personally, haven't had anything like that happen t me, but i can guess how the victim must feel, and it obviously isn't the same way as Sara is feeling.
I hope that ou can improve your story from my criticism, and I look forward to reading a bettered version...(you also might want to get a beta, as your grammar and punctuation is terrible)
First of all, I am glad that you were disgusted and sad at various points in the story. Things like rape and child abuse should make you feel that way. I'd also like to thank you for saying that I capture Sara and Grissoms emotions 'pretty well'
But as for you claiming that I make it seem like Sara isn't emotionally suffering? Yeah, thats crap. I have spent so much of this story trying to put across the point of how awful Sara feels, and how dreadful the situation is. My story doesn't glorify rape in the slightest. One of my friends who was reading it, told me she'd never thought about rape and child abuse closely, and contemplated how awful it is, but she said after reading some of my story, she wanted to go and kill every child abuser and rapist out there. Yeah, so if my story really glorifies rape, and makes it seem okay, how come I got a reaction like my friends?
I don't appreciate you saying thats not how a victim feels. I think i know how a fucking victim feels, so don't you dare accuse me of getting Sara's emotions wrong. People deal with things like this happening in different ways, so who are you to say that we should all cope in the same way. You obviously don't understand what you're preaching about...
And as for my grammar being terrible, yeah, okay I'll confess to that. But when you proof read a chapter that you've just spent two or three hours straight writing, you tend to jump over the small errors and not see them. But i have a beta now, so hopefully my grammar and punctuation will improve.
I'm not going to rewrite my story, just because I get one bad review. I personally think that all the people who like my story, and are nice about it with constructive criticism, count more than one person who doesn't. I am sorry you didn't like it though...
oh well. Sorry for my rant. I would sned a message directly, but i dont know how to do that. My god, i soun like a mad psycho in that writers note:o
