Ok, this is coming from Misa, who never gets pissed
about ANYTHING, and I am finally REALLY mad. How can
you people treat each other like this?! If you keep
up all this slamming on each other, the list is just
going to end up like the Ranma list: a bunch of flames
and nonsense. One of the things I like best about this
list is that the people are so NICE, and that WW really
cares about the list and takes the time to help us all
with any problems we have. People take the time to
read each other stories and comment, compliment, and
criticize. Also, there is a bit a bantering spam.
SO WHY THE !($*(@!)*#$ do we need to start ripping on
each other?
So you don't like Jack or Jack's stories, Aaron, but
there is absolutely no reason to start flame wars.
The original letter written expressing dislike for
Jack's stories was clear and understanding, not at
all a flame. THAT was an appropriate letter.
I'm sorry, but they were not flames (With the possible exception of that
ill-thought out spamfic I attempted)
I know that you don't like Jack or his stories, but
there is no reason to make it a public hate war.
Everyone is entitled to follow their muse, and if
that is his, so be it. If you don't want to read
his stories, DON'T!!!! I absolutely despised BGC
stories and I delete probably every single one that
comes into my box, but I am not offended that they
were posted!!! The whole point of this list is to
share our stories... that does not mean that
anyone is REQUIRED to read a story. If it offends
you, delete it!!!
Oh I do,(Well I just ignore them actually) but when people try to foist that
kinda of masturbatory fantasy onto a list with people who would read much
anything with 'lemon' in it(Please don't get on my back for this, there ARE
people here like this...) I ge t a little upset...and the way he called Mike
'jealous' because 'he didn't think of it first' didn't help.
I have some people who really don't like
MY story, and I have received a lot of negative
criticism from certain individuals; however, not
ONE of them has told me to stop writing it. And
even if they did I would probably say, "screw
you..."
*blink* I haven't told him to stop writing, have I?
If you don't want to read it, delete it.
The internet is a FREE space (and let's keep it
that way), and so is this ML.... if you want
to start making requirements on stories, please
put up a petition with your ideas and let WW
and all of us consider it. Don't assume that
your feelings are the feelings of everyone.
huh? Now my feelings on his story haven't changed, I still think it's got
too much padding and had to be gone over with a razer to trim down the
useless descriptions of useless points (Like the plane trip in the first few
pages). If he does this I might give it another try, but I still doubt I'd
like it just from the horror stories I've heard of it. His recent repost of
the entire thing (326K) for what APPEARS to be simple a title change (I
can't compare the two because of an aforementioned mailbox loss) Hasn't
helped my feelings toward HIM tho.
And, Aaron, as to your inferences that I "have
gone to the dark side" by being nice to Jack,
and your insults on the IRC, I would just like
to say that you don't know me and you have
absolutely no right to place judgments on who
I chose to be nice to.
I tried to apologize for that then, but you had already left.
If you asked anyone you would find out that I
am nice to EVERYONE, regardless of who they are.
I only am not nice if someone does something to
offend me personally. You have pretty much done
that, hence this letter. So, I would like to ask
you to leave me out of your little personal
vendetta, and to remember that this list is for
I believe that except for that ill-thought post and some of my own stupidity
on IRC I have...if not, I apologize wholeheartedly. However, since I value
my friends above all else(I"m not saying that you don't do that too) and he
insulted 2 for stating their own opinions (Kun-chan for not liking shampoo
and Mike for ASKING him not to post his lemon to the list) which also didn't
for for to make me like him.
FAN-fics, and if that is the way that Jack choses
to write them... so be it.
See somewhere above for my feelings on the 'fic.
I read his story, it was ok. Not the best
thing I have ever read, but he is only 16 and this
is his first fic!!! I have read a LOT of stories
that I might not like all that much, like the
overall basis of "The Prince and the Lecher"
sorta offends me, but I edit it for Todd because
he is a good writer and deserves a chance to show
his muse. However, remember if you don't like
it, delete it.
Again, if he trims out all of the parts which have absolutely no value to
the story and no comedic value(Which most of it lack I believe, judging by
the fact that he kills in it)
Sorry.... I just had to get this out.....
No need for you to apologize, Ma'am.
