wordinistaYeah, I know it's been about 3 months since I updated OGAM. I know. Believe me. I frickin' KNOW. I open up Ch 51, and just... stare at it. I'm starting to think there's something wrong in the chapter, and my brain won't let me get on with it until that something is fixed.
Or, it could be that a lot of my muses are catatonic, given my schedule lately. Bleh.
No, there's... there's something not-right. And I just have to fix it. Whatever "it" is.
But, at any rate, I was cleaning out the spam from my "Green Tea" replies (spam shows up under the guise of OGAM reviews), and I found two reviews that just...
*shakes head*
Good lord, how old are these people?
Both reviews were for the chapter with the Miroku/Sango lemon. "Chapter 46: Midnight Watch"
One of them was nice enough, if... pretty misspelled, which is a pet peeve, but... meh.
But the second one just made me shake my head:
this was a good chapter though i had some trouble following with the clothing part.....anyway i like how u write its a good way to get readers. keep up the good work. oh and u should write about kag and inu doing the same thing....ppl seem to like that more.
...
WTF?
I don't know where to start. This stabs so many of my pet peeves. I mean, SO MANY.
Punctuation? Anyone? Bueller?
an i can't tell u how much i hate when ppl rite like dis
*stabs with spork*
Okay, the "clothing part" -- I used the proper names (or as close as I could figure, thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evilpuppy) for Miroku's robes and Sango's clothes. You know: yukata, kesa, tabaki.
LOOK IT UP, NITWIT!
...And, I "should" write an Inuyasha/Kagome lemon? Um, no. No, sorry, ain't gonna happen this time 'round. I realize that Japanese laws of consent are different than ours, but I'm NOT going to write a fifteen year old girl having sex. SORRY. Even sixteen. The closest I'd wangle is seventeen, but in OGAM, Kagome isn't seventeen. Miroku and Sango are constrained by different morals/ethics, given the TIME they live in, which is why I took them down that road. And you know what? If I gave a flaming youkai's ass what people "seem to like" more, I WOULDN'T BE WRITING A STORY WITH AN ORIGINAL FREAKING CHARACTER.
I realize I don't get a lot of idiotic reviews, and maybe that's why when I DO get them, I want to throw things.
UGH.
Okay. Better now. Time to straighten up the apartment and wait for the lady from the moving co. to come by and estimate how much it'll cost to move all our crap. (We'll pack stuff up, but there's no way in hell we have the time to MOVE ourselves. And the stairs? Oy.)

Date: 2005-02-25 03:36 pm (UTC)OGAM is your story dear, written with your wit and humor that is why we adore it. The fact that your real life has more stress than a personalised hurricane at the moment isn't really going to let you fight with anything else it seems. You are getting ready to move, you have classes to study for, and your students don't seem to be the brightest lights this round. I am surprised you have the spare neurons to try and think of what is happening in the next chapter, let alone open it up to look. Your muses will return. You have betas and friend willing to try brain storming to see if they can see the trees for the forest. Also you will get to it maybe not right now but sometime it will come.
Most of your readers know that your life is chaotic. The ones that tend to bug you the most do so I think they hit your pet peeves. ( I myself don't write reviews for you because I know I am a bad bad girl at proper written english) Or they like your story but they want you to do so and so their way. That is rude just because it is your story and they are trying to turn it to their direction. This bugs many authors and is why some refuse to talk to fans at all.
All and all it sound like you need a nice brownie and maybe a later today drink. Here is a nice double chocolate fudge brownie and your choice of ice cold water or milk to drink it down with. To what ever it is that will make you feel better. I hope you or someone else finds it for you.
