In response to a review from a dear "special" guest, I am simply writing this author's note as a response. You don't have to read it if it doesn't concern you, m'kay~?
Alright.
Let's talk for a minute.
Plot lines. That's the issue you're having with my work at the moment, yes?
Okay
Well,
A) Sorry, not every lemon is "extremely different", we all have to arrive at the le point of sexiness somewhere and people tend to arrive and cross the same lines over and over again, even on accident, no?
B) Analogy time~!: There are two books currently sitting on my shelf amoung the others that eerily resemble each other- published books, mind you, in which the characters are lovers from the past and have to do the exact same things in each individual book in order to achieve happiness; this is also occurring in a show called Vampire Diaries (Fallen and Crescendo/Silence). And then there's crescendo/silence and Rick Riodrian's Heroes of Olympus: Son of Neptune that both deal with amnesia (part of the reason I never finished either of them).
Do you see where I'm going with this?
And then there's also the fact about the song that even inspired me to write it, have you heard it or even read the lyrics? Well here they are for you and anyone else who's reading alright:
My Girlfriend's a dick magnet My Girlfriend's gotta have it
She's hot, can't stop, up on stage, doing shots, Tip the man he'll
Ring the bell, get her drunk she'll scream like hell.
Dirty girl, gettin' down, dance with guys from outta town.
Grab her ass, actin' tough. Mess with her, she'll fuck you up.
No one really knows if she's drunk or if she's stoned, but she's
Comin' back to my place tonight!
[Chorus:]
She likes to shake her ass she grinds it to the beat
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth
I like to strip her down she's naughty to the end
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend!
Red thong, Party's on, Love this song, sing along.
Come together, leave alone, see you later back at home
No one really knows if she's drunk or is she's stoned
But she's coming back to my place tonight. I say
No one really knows just how far she's gonna go,
But I'm gonna find out later tonight
[Chorus]
Doesn't take her long to make things right.
But does it make her wrong to
Have the time of her life. the time of her life
My girlfriend's a dick magnet My girlfriend's gotta have it
She's a gold digger now you figure out it's over, pull the trigger.
Futures finished, there it went, savings gone,
The money spent
I look around and all I see is, no good, bad and ugly,
Man she's hot and fixed to be, the future
Ex-Miss Connolly!
[Chorus]
She's a bad, bad girlfriend
She's a bad, bad girlfriend.
So, you see, going with the song, I could've either written Rin as a drunk or stoner and- since I don't like stoners whatsoever- I chose drunk Rin. There's also the fact that the song itself, musically, is very deep and heavy which I decided to show in the fanfic as harsh sex (biting, throwing on the wall, you get the picture).
And now that that's done, I'm going to take this time to politely tell you to go fuck yourself, m'kay~? Hope you have a fantastic time and thank you sooooo much for the review, sweetie~

Okay, so now that I have had time to actually collect my logical and rational thoughts, I am going to apologize shortly for the fuck yourself comment- I wasn't meaning to offend you, darling :). Especially since sex has been scientifically proven to not only relieve stress but to get rid of headaches because it helps release hormones that we girls who experience periods call the "bitch hormones" (affectionately...lol, jk.), just offering it as an alternative~
Now, did you flat out say I plagiarized? No.
But we have this thing called "indirect" accusation- sometimes incorrectly called a passive-aggressive move- that is then inferred to be, with a combination of tone and other hints within a review/book/etc., what a person is suggesting. Do you see what I mean?
Now, I'm also here to say that I understand your personal opinion- however inaccurate- on this matter but...
As we do in debate and English...shall I lay down my reasonings for you?
Yes?
Well, if you don't want to see- might as well explain to the uninformed masses, right?
Okay. So, plot lines and characterizations seem to be the issue you're having with my two works Breakfast and Bad Girlfriend, correct? So now to compare and contrast.
*Note- I actually had my group of friends who've read all works mentioned to check through and give an unbiased opinion as well as comparisons and differences. They also had not been informed of the issue for which it is for.*
Bad Girlfriend:
Plot- Rin is a naturally stressed perfectionist who, when getting ready for a concert with Len- her boyfriend-, drinks in order to get her nerves under control. It is during this time that she is drinking that Gakupo walks in and invites her to an after-party of sorts to relax after the show to which she agrees to come.
After her songs have ended, Rin is supposed to be showing up at an interview but instead, without really telling anyone, heads off to the party where she proceeds to drink- knowingly- shots of tequila (unknown amount) and a beer. After gaining a fairly decent "buzz", she proceeds to then flirt and dance with some guy who, in return, buys her a drink and flirts back- physically. In response, she throws her drink on him and starts trouble.
By this time she's been missing and not answering her cell-phone for a good few hours and no one seems to know where she is- obviously including Len. That is until he runs into Miku who finally clues him in, of course.
So, he goes to pick Rin up from the bar without much trouble until they get in the car where she then begins to flirt and tries to seduce Len despite his original protests. And because of this small encounter, they end up at the hotel- making out. Shortly after, they both end up undressed and having some rough sex on the wall before moving to the bed and finishing their "night" there.
The next morning, Rin wakes up with a hangover and barely manages to get to the kitchen in her bruised up manner where she is greeted by Len who gives her ibuprofen and a drink to help. Once she's somewhat able to manage and, unable to remember's last night's events, Len hands over a tabloid in which the whole story has been laid out for her- this is also where we learn about the basics of her 21st birthday incident. Following after, he hands over a notebook he'd been writing in, revealing the beginning lyrics of Theory of A Deadman's Bad Girlfriend to which Rin runs off back to the bedroom, irritated.
-The End-
Sound about right?
Testing Len's Patience:
Plot- Rin and Len are at a party and Rin has her drink spiked unknowingly. Noticing this after Rin propositioned to him, Len drags her to their car where she acts rather ridiculously (bunny ears, GPS, etc.) until they arrive at Len's home since Rin's are apparently out of town- Len's parents aren't home either...surprisingly.
Anywho, they both head upstairs and Len- after some convincing from Rin and his own conscious- helps Rin undress, brushing over her skin and managing to turn himself on. In response, Rin pins him to the wall and physically teases him until he gives in and has his (first-time?) sex with her against the wall. Afterwards, she passes out and he tucks her into bed before falling asleep himself.
Len is woken up by an irritated Rin who proceeds to ask what happened the previous night and why she was naked to which he responds- easily- that they had sex while she was drunk. Because of this, Rin is sore, hurting, and has a hangover.
The story ends with Len offering her another round and Rin groaning in irritation.
-The End-
Again, very basic plot line overview with some minor details just so we can compare and contrast on a basic level:
Differences: Authors, titles, settings, reasons behind the drinking, knowledge of the drinking, things that happen in the car, Len knowing where Rin is, relationship between Rin and Len, type of teasing and location of teasing, morning-after, who wakes up who, dialogue, thoughts during sex.
Similarities: Drunk Rins, Len attempting to decline sex once, sex against the wall (shortly in BG), Len teasing her about it the morning after, and they both contain somewhat descriptive sexual scenes.
I'll let you come up with your own conclusion...and call me a "bold" copier/writer if you want, but please, sweetie...pay attention and run through your thoughts/opinions before bringing them to a very...how should I put this...protective writer, alright?
Now, here within the next 24 hours, I'll also be doing the same process for Breakfast and Delicious Tease, though I think you'll find that- while those both have sexual scenes on the couch- they are vastly different in almost every other aspect *excluding the fact they use the same characters, language, etc.
Thank you~
Oh! One more thing:
I hope you realize that I'm stubborn too...and when I person questions me, my works, my friends, or my riding and writing abilities...I'm more than happy to bring out my riding crop and spurs and treat them like the in-heat 4-year-old fillies I work with on a daily basis :)
The more ya know about moi~
July 29th, 2014:
I don't know if you've noticed that I left a nice little review for you, what, a few months back? Anywho, even if you've finally gotten over yourself I have a simple question to ask you- no sass, no sarcasm. A legitimate question.
Why only me? Because I know for a fact and from personal reading that there is at least one author right now (whom I will refrain from naming at this time) who is doing exactly what you tried to call me out for- in definitely more noticeable ways.
If you're going to get on one person who's unintentionally doing so, why not go full force on another author who'a a repeat offender?
You know, just something to think about.
