Oh, God, I'm neurotic

[ratherastory]

This is me being insecure and neurotic. Nothing to see here, move along.


Dear Self,

We have been over this. Just because a reviewer obviously didn't understand your story or maybe just didn't read it carefully does NOT mean you suck forever as a writer. Come on. There are plenty of people whose opinions you trust who told you the story worked just fine. One *anonymous* reviewer should not be enough to reduce you to a quivering pile of insecure goo.

Jesus H. Christ, woman, pull yourself together!

Love,

Me



Dear Anonymous Reviewer,

Really? You read all 8,000 words of that fic and came away with the notion that I have sympathy only for Sam and that I'm awful to Dean? Really?

I'm a little flummoxed that that's what you took away from the story. Truly.

Maybe you ought to read it again a little more carefully. Or, better yet, go away before I enlist Missouri to hit you with a spoon. I am all for constructive criticism, but that? That wasn't it.

No love,

Me

Hijack away! My favourite part of this LJ is fostering interesting discussion among my readers. :)

I love Sam and Dean equally, but I have no issue at all with people who prefer one over the other. Really, my own affections swing back and forth all the time. It's only when people start hating one or the other that I get my feathers ruffled.

Well, that's the crux of it. You can't hate them (preference is okay. Sometimes I like steak. Sometimes I want chicken. It's all good). I mean, sure, you can hate something they do, but not who they are. Know what I mean?

And for me, when they are at cross purposes, you know that they'll eventually re-align and it will be that much sweeter. Besides, it's great to see just complex characters on tv. Granted, I'd like to see something other than angst (but that's because I need happy and not sad right now), but I can wait. There will be humor or camaraderie soon. That's the beauty of the show.

Um, I guess I'm pretty talkative tonight. Maybe you should start a different post. *grin*

Chicken and steak! That's a... really evocative way to think of Sam and Dean.

Now I'm hungry. ;)

God, I hope they resolve the angst soon. I'm not sure my nerves can take this anymore. :P
