'Cuz yer so witty and charmin'!

Meh.

 

[FallingToFly]

There is a distinct reason why I love you guys. What Passes Between is still getting trolled about every fourth vote (Someone REALLY hates me today) but you guys definitely did reassure me that I hadn't unwittingly put a total piece of crap out there.

And yes, Chapter 2 should be up very shortly- it's already submitted. Chapter 3 gets edited and submitted tonight, and I'm trying to keep it at a 1-2 day lull between submitting chapters.

I wish I could put out chapters that fast.

They've all been written out long hand for close to a year. The delay is in typing, doing some minute polishing, and spell-checking.

That's where I fell short with Julia, I think. I didn't write the entire story and then divided it into chapters, I just wrote each chapter, submitted it, wrote the next and so on. The flow was messed up.

It's a wonderful story.

I had this problem too. Then as it progressed, I found the story in question was one a lot of my fans didn't want to read, and one I didn't really want to write either (both equally important). So... If the story is strong enough, it will keep coming out and hopefully be good. I wish you the best of luck with it. BTW, I have read the first chapter of "What Passes Between" and though I was disappointed at the lack of sex, I look forward hopefully to what lies ahead.

Congrats Falling. I doubt one of mine will ever make that list... but hey, they're good and I know it, as do my fans, so all is fine.

They are good, we do know it, and *HUGS*.

I got more Anon feedback today, and I'm actually really impressed with Anon. I wonder if his smarter, stronger, handsomer older brother is visiting?

one of the fresher stories, probably the freshest?

within a few paragraphs, the movie, THE OTHERS?, with Nicole Kidman came to mind.

I think this kind of "ghost story" works best and is more scary than those with an acid tongue sticking out and than the man's "life force" is sucked out of him and then he collapses into an ashe, etc., ad nauseam.

This is scary because you are talking about a confused group of earthly beings and a more confused "ghost" and none has any idea as to what's going on and they all seem to be somewhat afraid of the others.

If well thought out --- and it is so far very well written, though short --- this could become a real original story that is far removed from the others here.

I must say, however, it would take an exceptionally imaginative author to pull it off successfuly,,, I've not read this author, so I have no idea what his/her capability is; but, yes, I would like him/her to write a different ghost story like this, which is very different from the rest, and do it in such a way that what passes BETWEEN, whatever that "between" is, becomes believable.

But the way the author had the others seen her --- and NOT recognized her to be their loved one, Heather --- it is, then, NOT possible to write her, somehow, later to be Heather, Tim's wife and the children's mother, whom they had just buried,,,,

Of course, their sadness would soon turn to anger and incredulous if she keeps saying things and keeps acting like Heather: (1) knowing where everything is; (2) knowing Tim's and the children's every proclivities, things which NO OTHER human beings, other than Heather, could know; (3) knowing who everyone is, including all those "Lynn" would never have, could never have, known; etc., etc.

I'm waiting to see how the author dwelve into HIS/HER own belief system about "supernatural"; or at least on a fictional level.

But, again, thanks for the refreshing take on this topic, even if not explicitly titled as a ghost story.

Wow, you Americans and your love of the supernatural. I enjoy Superman and Spiderman much more.
The editor rated this 'hot'. It didn't raise my temperature one degree!

Well, it's a supernatural novel, not a novel length fuck fest. That would be your first hint- or did you miss the first chapter where the character was introduced. did you miss the fact that she is a mother ripped away from her children? A lost soul?

Ranted this to a friend. . .

Public Anon. comment. . .I deleted the first because it was an attack on me personnally, after knocking the story... which is fine to knock the story, but the ending comments were personal attacks to me. . .so after talking with a couple other writers, they agreed that it was a personal attack and I should delete it and I wouldn't lose face. . .well they (anonymous) commented back about it being deleted... this is fine, the comment on the story was also restated, the attack isn't viscious like before so I left it this time, but responded to the commenter. . .(only the 3rd time I've posted a comment on my own work) . . .and told them why I deleted the comment. . . now if they want to attack me, then do it privately, everyone doesn't need to read it in the PC board. So say you don't like the story, say you don't like the category it is in. . .but when you launch into attacking me, you are no longer voting on the story and you are no longer commenting on it, you are going after me. . .and you are doing it under a name that holds NO weight at all!

Okay... I think this rant is over.

but...I'd have more respect if the person would admit to who they are and email me through lit and we discuss the story via email. *sigh*

Now I am done. . .I think.

Rant away. We all feel your pain.

Venting prevents explosion, Red. If you must say stuff to get it out of your mind, go ahead. We will tolerate it (hopefully).

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Thanks to both of you. I'd like anonymous to contact me through Lit. He had a valid opinion in the beginning of his comment then switched midstream and attacked me, so my policy is if you want your Public Comment to stay, then be respectful. . .I'm not getting paid to entertain you, I can't contact you to answer your questions . . . In many of my Author's Notes I clearly state, Respectful Negative Comments will stay, not viscious or disrespectful ones. . .I should have put one on this story I guess. . .*shrugs* Oh well. . .I'll watch the story and see what happens. Email is out there if they want answers to their questions.

trite obviows stuff I stay in kitchen not write silly men sex.

Well, if I understand you correctly, you didn't like the story, thought it trite and obvious. You also think that I should stay in the kitchen, and not write "silly men sex?"

Anon, baby, if you want me to give your opinion some weight- could you please not drubnk-dial my PCs?

 

[Aurora Black]

Mouahahaha!

Did I mention that I love troll sweeps? Although I'm now #3 (I was at #1 for three months before I got voted down to hell), it's the principle of the thing. I'm baaaaack!

You need to find another pastime profession! Just
had to bring a fucking NIGGER into the story, eh?
Get real, whoever you are, most white women

sex.

What would you know about "white women?" You're a troll.

I see what you mean. Several of my stories just jumped upward, especially Heartless. I should check my stats on the top lists.
