A/N: Disregard if this does not apply to you.
Guest reviewers (and this won't apply to most of you), if you're going to flame, please go elsewhere. I don't mind constructive criticism, but there is no need to be rude. I won't tolerate it. If you don't like the story, please don't read it. It's no hair off of my back.
Not naming names, but if you're going to complain about how my story is written, then I strongly suggest that you at least pay close enough attention to get your facts straight. Yes, Bonnie was assaulted by Alaric, but she was not raped. Her virginity is still very much intact. Bonnie was in shock and she needed someone to be there for her. Everyone deals with assault differently. As someone who has dealt with assault, I can assure you that everyone deals with it in his or her own way.
As a fanfiction writer, I don't get paid to do this. I do this in my spare time. I cannot stand when people tear down others who are brave enough to post online, to try and get better. Constructive criticism is one thing. Being nasty is another. I can't stand bullies. At all.
All that I ask is that you're pleasant and I will extend you the same courtesy. I've started moderating my guest reviews, which is something that I've never had to do in the four and a half years that I have been on this site. I don't have any issues with the majority of my readers and I thank you for that. I love you guys and I like posting on this site. That's not gonna change.
With that being said, I'm finishing the next chapter for this story and it will be up later today. I'll be focusing mainly on this story, until it's finished. When this one is done, I'll pick up another of my unfinished fics.
Thanks for letting me vent.
