Oh, thanks for the link! ♥ They are so in love. It is awesome. *happy sigh*
I am excited and will read your meta as soon as you post it! \o/ I didn't even know JJ was obsessed with lighting. Maybe it IS a sign for slashers to have some hope. *crosses fingers*
*headdesk* I've heard so much about Home that it's kind of making me not want to read it. Everyone's talking it up, but I'm just like, "OMG I can only work on Apogee right now, okay?" XP
LOL, I spent four years (that I SHOULD have spent writing) reading fic instead. It's a bad thing to do. I figure, one epic fic a year for me, reading wise, is all I can do without really screwing up my writing schedule. Unfortunately, life is pain and I can't both read AND write. DDD:
And LOL, Apogee will keep on coming. I have lots of pieces written for future parts. It's all very exciting, really. \o/
No, that doesn't make you sound childish at all. I'll give you an example of something semi-similar that happened to me. In some writing class, I told this guy, "Wow. This is really good. I really don't know what to say" when I was commenting on his story. He replied, "Why, because you can't ever say anything nice?" It was a bitchslap to me and made me want to punch him, really. So, that's not exactly the same b/c we weren't talking about my work, but I still got a personal insult for a comment I was making (and it was a complimentary comment, too).
Sorry if I sounded like I meant that I was going to be mean to you. I'm not. I just meant that I've had too many people come back at me with unhelpful critiques b/c they were afraid to hurt my feelings. I figure, just discuss the work and we'll be fine. We all know how much time and energy an author takes on a story. So respect that and give the comments that need to be said.
That being said, if you want me to be nice and easy on you, I will. I've got no desire to scar you with scary feedback or anything. XP
Also, I wouldn't say anything nasty about an author due to their work, period. I don't get people who do that. DDD: It's senseless, truly.
