We all want to know,
Was she always this moei?
But, that's classified.
Hey! I managed to update in a timely manner for once! That's new...
First off, I would like to thank both ShadowWeasel and CriticOfBanality for their reviews, both of which offered some great constructive criticism. Did I tell you how much I love concrits?
ShadowWeasel: By being too short, do you mean the overall story, or each individual haiku? It seems that there is a bit of demand for a multiple-haiku story, so I might actually get working on that if people keep asking... As for the lack of depth in my work, I completely agree. Seriously. These are pretty bloody awful, as I have said before. I realize that my claim of these just being a side project for my own relaxation may seem a bit iffy, as these seem to be the only things that I have posted recently, but I am honestly working on some other stuff for the site. A multiple-haiku story would probably help cure the one-dimensionality that you have pointed out, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Thanks for your review!
CriticOfBanality: Obviously, I am one lazy mf. Hell, I can't even keep a steady pace in updating this crap, in which each chapter is little more than a poorly written haiku and an overly self-indulgent personal update. I may not be a troll, but I'm little more. My only multi-chapter story on this site, Pulp, hasn't been updated since the beginning of July, and none of my other works have reached 2,000 words. Since Pulp went on hiatus, I have stuck to posting some of my old poetry to this site because I'm afraid that starting another long story will just lead to the same result. In the meantime, I have been working on a few oneshots, a crossover between Space Dandy and the Haruhi Suzumiya series, and a Baccano! story respectively, so expect them to be up soon. As for a Wizard of Oz and Haruhi crossover... Well, probably not. Sorry. I was never particularly interested in either the movie or the book, and would rather not force myself to come up with what will inevitably be a mediocre story at best, when I have ideas I can be enthusiastic about. Thanks for the great concrit, and I really liked your painting analogy.
Overall, expect more from me in the coming weeks. While I will not discontinue this series, I will attempt to publish other things, as these haiku are not proving to be terribly popular. Cheers.
