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!

Oh, I like BtG! Like I said in the comments above, all the good ones keep getting flamed while crap fic gets praised. I've actually figured out that, in order to find the best fics, see who's getting slammed at TSR. Believe it or not, that formula works!

*blushes* Hee, thanks.

I've found it a general rule of thumb in fandom that yeah, the good (or more thought-provoking ones) get flamed the most. ;)
