Hey Gang! Sorry for the lag, PLEASE don't kill me because this is JUST an author's update! [ducks and covers]
I recently received a review that was more appropriately a flame than a constructive criticism. Apparently my plot is confusing in parts--perhaps it is because said reviewer only read ONE CHAPTER. Please, don't waste my time by flaming my work if you can't stand to read the whole thing. There is such a thing as plot pacing, which I use to my advantage. Also, if you would deign to read the previous Author Notes, you will notice that this is an Alternate Universe, MY universe, and I try to write the characters as true to their actual personalities as I can, while incorporating how I believe they would react in the situations I put them in in MY universe. This is why they may seem OOC. Deal with it.
Finally, I have never considered it necessary to curse at an author in a review. Not only is it tacky and wholly pointless, it gives the impression that the person cursing can find no better words to express themselves, which I find quite sad, particularly since the English language IS so vast. Again, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome! I need to know how to improve myself if I'm to get better! But I don't have time to waste reading people's opinions on the very first chapter which honestly has no plot to begin with and is written from one character's POINT OF VIEW, which is generally faulty.
To my loyal readers, whether you like this fic or not, THANK YOU! You are the ones who keep me going, and keep me writing. I never expected this piece to get the kind of response it has, and I'm very thankful for the support! You guys make it all worthwhile!
Sorry the updates are coming so slow, but I've hit a complete block. Any suggestions for plot? Or ideas for a sequel, since this one is nearly complete? Email me at machairagirlyahoo.com!
