It isn't just a discussion when the writer tries to make smart-a**ed remarks about me that are idiotic. I am not taking this personally. I simply am annoyed with people who argue against criticizm. So you didn't like my comments? Then get over it, don't try to prove any points or provide counter attacks.

What Tiamat says is right, I was simply hoping one would comment because they have an easier time expressing themselves in this sort of manner then I do. Im glad she did cause she is completly right.

Personally, I would never be interested in a peice like this. I tried to be openminded (something you both, apparently lack since you have to "defend" your work which is not why you should be here. I second what truth-teller says and ask, are you really here to learn?) -and I did read it atleast 5 times, and still didn't get it. I personally am not interested in reading anything that's "hard to read," and honeslty I can't think of many people who would. I'd rather not waste time trying to read something over and over again to try and get whats going on only for my energies to be wasted in some trivial moment of a drunk guy making an impression. Dissapointed.

I never made this personal, this was my opinion on the work. I am not upset at anyone, just a little frustrated my words get twisted on me when I am giving feedback which, is why I assumed you came here? Perhaps not.

Like Tiamat said, your audience out of all the posters here comes to one fan, frabes. So if you are serious about this just PREPARE to have the same outcome elsewhere.

I'M GONNA POST SOME PRETENTIOUS ASS WRITING AND IM GONNA EXPECT SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK! AND IF I DON'T GET POSITIVE FEEDBACK THEN EVERYONE ELSE IS JUST SHALLOW AND UNINTELLIGENT!!!

Jesus. Are you listening to yourself? Don't try to prove any points? Are you saying everyone should take every criticism they get? That's completely ridiculous. The writer has the RIGHT to ask someone to explain a negative criticism, which is exactly what the OP did. There was nothing 'smart-assed' about his reply, until you went nuts.

You can't take every critique lying back. You come here looking for feedback, yes, but if you don't understand someone's critique, you should fucking ask them about it.

Arguing against criticism is important sometimes. Essential, even. If you don't like that someone can disagree with you, you shouldn't post a crit in the first place.

If I'm the only one stumbled across this story and actually understood it, then there's something seriously wrong. This is not difficult to read, Jax. I'm sorry, but it isn't.

Then start buying your fiction at the grocery store. Or keep buying it there, whichever applies.

Yeah... so let's all just keep throwing insults around and take the focus off the story that this thread is supposed to be about. Frabes, you're beating a dead horse. Let it go, man. Jax has given her honest opinion, you've given yours. It's up to Brad to decide which opinion he agrees with and why. Do we really need to keep repeating ourselves?

It was shit, boring and tedious.

Sorry, this is a piss-poor attempt at creative fiction.
