Addressing some Reviews
Ok this is me addressing you guys. No chapter here. I just seem to be getting some reviews that say similar things.
Point number one
The language. As I mentioned earlier in the fic, I am portraying adults. They are over worked, stressed, tired adults. They don't curb their language. I am trying to make the characters as real as possible.
Point number two
My grammar sucks. Deal with it. It's not as bad as some others I've seen.
Point number three
The length of the chapters. They are long chapters. The last two however, were originally meant to be one. It was too long to be a full chapter. Well it wasn't. But it was O.o;; So I made the decision to cut it. The long chapters will be back next time :D I promise :D
Point number four
This is in relation to a recent review which…made me laugh but really gob-smacked me. *laughs*
Basically the reviewer made it clear their thoughts on Rei and Mamoru's affair. This reviewer believed that Rei and Mamoru should 'never have been lovers. Never ever.' She went on to say that if Usagi and Rei were to make up and Usagi and Mamoru were to marry, how would it look if the sister knew Mamoru as well as his wife?
I don't give a rats how it would look. That is real life sweetie. I am writing as real to life as possible. Do you see Brady bunch trademarks in this story? No. Then don't expect them. And here is the bit that made me laugh.
"Maybe you can change this and say that Rei wanted Mamaru to be her lover but he wasn't. Sort of like what happened in the TV programme. She considered him her boyfriend when he wasn't."
Ok. No, no, no. I am very happy to take constructive criticism. The language complaints sit well because I can justify them and I am in the know now, that some of my readers are uncomfortable with that. Hence in the newer chapters that I have been working on contain less language of the explicit kind. Now. This one reader is obviously upset by the Rei/Mamoru pairing in the earlier chapters. But that does not give the reader the right to suggest that my story should be changed. I am open for suggestions yes…but in this manner. It insults me a little that the reader feels the pairing so…wrong that the story should be changed. Just…grrrrr. I have been writing this for a year. I have it planned. I'm like so close to finishing. I have put my own time, passion and heart into this and I am not going to change it because of Rei and Mamoru and how bad it might look if Usagi and Mamoru get married.
)@#&*(*@#%&*(!&@*(&!#%
Ok
I am done. And I apologise to this reviewer for making an example of them but that was, to me, a very insulting review. So…stay tuned for the next chapter in a couple of days. Thank you for listening to the venting of the author.
~*MUAH*~
When everything is gone there should be nothing to fear this world cannot bring me down because I am already here.
