Dear anonymous comment poster for my recent request at
sgagenrefinders,
please delete your comment. Seriously, I mean it. If you hold some grudge against people who have (knowing fandom, probably rightfully) given you bad reviews for your own stories because your research sucked and/or you committed some big history/race/gender/lgbt fail, please don't take it out on my request and give me a guilty conscience. I have a pretty hard time trying to avoid clichés, tropes and generally fails as it is (for example, recently I realized I might have fridged Laura Cadman for my Defining Moments series... and even though I'm trying to tell myself that I didn't and that I wasn't just sacrificing her to make my poor Lorne feel bad and that I also let Lorne die to make Laura feel bad and that usually it's rather Lorne getting whumped than Laura in my stories I do wish for someone to look it over and say "It's okay, you did a great job with the stories, don't worry about it.") so I really don't need you to rub it in even further.
I consider it very rude of you to make yourself feel better on my expense because in my world, people who are ranting anonymously are usually trying to make themselves feel better and are far from wanting to be helpful. Go away with your bitterness and don't try to make me feel bad about my request because there's nothing to feel bad about.
Or does anyone on my flist actually think writing (and wanting to read) stories set in wars (historic, contemporary, future) is per se exploitive and specifically asking people not to rec McShep and preferably no other slash as well (apart from light femmeslash, that is) is per se homophobic? Help me out here, flist, I'm really starting get confused and insecure (which is all my responsibility, I know but... bear with me? Just this once?).

Date: 2010-07-09 07:30 pm (UTC)Empfindliche Knöpfe sind ja auch kein Problem. Ich hab auch einen Haaauuuuufen von denen und halte sie im Gegenteil sogar für richtig und wichtig, gerade wenn ich an so einige Sachen denke, die geschrieben werden!
Ich frag mich halt nur bei manchen Leuten manchmal, ob wir die gleiche FF gelesen/die gleiche Folge/den gleichen Film/etc gesehen/gelesen haben... so wie mit der Homophobie-Sache. Manchmal hab ich das Gefühl, da wollen sich Leute einfach generell profilieren. Ich hab kein Problem mit konstruktiver Kritik... bloß damit, Leute zu flamen.
Es kommt halt immer so ein bisschen drauf an, wie man etwas sagt... und gerade derzeit, da ich so leicht reizbar bin, dass ich nicht meinen Kopf auf die Tastatur, sondern den anderer Leute in die nächste Wand hauen mag, kann ich auf so ein Rumgeheule von diesem Anonymous ja gar nicht. ;)
Meiner auch, aber grad deswegen dachte ich mir auch "Du Arsch, ich bin weder Grund noch gerechtfertigtes Ziel deines Daseins als beleidigte Leberwurst. Denk erstmal drüber nach, ob das, was du an Reviews oder was auch immer bekommen hast, nicht vielleicht auch gerechtfertigt war." Grrrr.
Das ist doch genau die richtige Rangehensweise! Bloß nicht verunsichern lassen, sondern genau sowas denken! Und wenn sich doch Unsicherheit blicken lässt, dann erst recht sowas denken! ;)
Ach, das wird nie passieren, weil Het-Autoren und -Leser eh am untersten Ende der Fanfic-Nahrungskette stehen :P (ehrlich, das Gefühl beschleicht mich schon seit längerem...)
Amen!
(Ehrlich, dem hab ich nichts hinzuzufügen.)
Das ist es wohl *seufz Ärgerlich ist es trotzdem irgendwie.
Glaub ich dir und ich versteh dich vollauf. Ganz ehrlich, wie oben gesagt: Wenn der mir geantwortet hätte, hätte ich mir meine Schulter auf vor Ärger gleich wieder verzogen. ;)
