Oh, God, I'm neurotic

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

Hee! I like the idea of critiquing reviewers, but then I'm petty like that. ;)

I also like the idea of a pageant. Wouldn't that make a great crack fic?

It sounds much better than a pagent which would not be a word. LOL It would be an amusing crack fic. It could be a choose your own adventure with a different ending for Dean winning, Sam winning, the tie, the giant monster interrupt, Cas winning for his talent portion where he did a routine that combined twirling flaming batons, striptease, and karaoke set to something obnoxious and slutty like Lada Gaga, the ending where no one wins and Sam and Dean stop to have a "very special episode of Supernatural" moment where they talk about teen pregnancy, smoking, drug use, peer pressure, or academic integrity, the Thriller ending where zombies rush the stage and everyone must dance, the J2 ending where they stop acting just before the announcement, declare their hot man love for each other and then magically produce every actor and friend that's ever shown up in a J2 fic, dogs included, the down and dirty ending where Sam and Dean end up rolling around on the carpet beating each other with flowers and fighting over the crown, the ...

Yeah. Bit cracky that. LOL

*chortles gleefully*

It would be so awesome. I'm halfway tempted, only I know nothing about pageants and I'd have to do research, which is a bit much for a crack fic. ;)
