warning - annoyed author ahead

[spuffy_noelle]

I'll admit that I anticipated some people not to like the idea behind Playing Dirty, but after posting the first chapter on TSR I already have my first flame.

um, no, i won't be reading anymore of this story. that's not what i was thinking it would be like. it's just disgusting that he would set up his own girlfriend to sleep with his teacher and then get the guy fired, just for a damn c. that's ridiculous and i don't see how any spuffiness in this can be good. i also feel like gagging just seeing her with angel. and you made buffy seem like a whore, sorry, really don't like it.

I'm not mad or anything, everyone has their own opinion I just don't understand. Why leave something nasty like that when you could chose to say nothing at all? Whatever, I'm sure I'll be getting more complaints as the story progresses. I just wish people would keep all their negative comments that cannot be considered constructive crtiticism to themselves! I really don't want to get nasty, but I'm more than capable of it.

:) Thanks to everyone on my FLIST that has read/reviewed so far. I'm so excited by the response I'm getting!

Yeah, color me shocked. It's TSR. The place where any fic: not written about high schoolers, by high schoolers, for high schoolers; all human and/or remakes of classic movies or television; and generally lacking in anything even remotely resembling Spike, Buffy, characterization, semi-coherent plotlines or any semblence of proper grammar gets lauded, reviewed out the wazoo, nommed and awarded. Meanwhile, those very excellent authors who've not yet given up out of frustration after their wonderful chapters and killer fics have been ganged up on by a buncha children who think that if they are mean enough to others, they'll end up with the site all to themselves.

But I'm not bitter, or anything.

I definitely agree with you. Too bad those kind of readers are pushing the good authors away :( Thanks for the support, hun!
