I thought that your story was boring and not worthy of remembrance. Coming from a frequent fan fiction reader, I understand that you're trying, but maybe you should stop writing altogether. Better luck next time!

Jeez, why didn't one of you have the guts to tell me I should stop writing long ago? That's seven years of my life I'll never get back!

*goes out to find books on knitting*

ETA: just in case it's not clear, I'm not sharing this out of outrage, but amusement. So please enjoy it like I am. :)

I never understood the point of telling someone not to write if I didn't like a story--it's all subjective, isn't it? I don't presume to tell someone else what makes good story (spelling, on the other hand--I go into fits over spelling errors *L*); that would be completely egotistical of me.
Oddly enough, considering the Harlequinesque nature of some of my stories (cavities free, ask me how!), the only negative fb I ever received was about a description of a woman pursuing Skinner at a wedding; I apparently am insensitive about fat women, which, considering that the bathroom scale gibbers in fear when I approach it, is pretty damn funny.
Keep on doing whatcha do, Hal--but if you're going to be knitting, it was -55 with the wind chill here a couple of days ago, I could use a hat!
Cheers!

I did try to learn to knit. Several times. I'm not good with anything that requires hand-eye coordination, even if it's slow like knitting.

I don't get those trolling comments in email or LJ, just posted on my website. I think the nature of the commenting system invites them. Which is good for me, cause then I get to have a laugh. :)
