kaigou...Because then there's the reviews that just make you go *stompstompstomp*
Your story started very good and interested but you made it each time more and more complicated. AND the result is not GW anymore even if they are in, no it is some strange story. What every you wanted to reach with you story I dont think you are going in good direction. You have very good talent for writing but here it is not GW story anymore. Come on, do something here. Dont get mad.
Yes, this would be the point of an AU, girly. Ah, another poor fan who honestly believes safe-houses and unrequited luuuurve make up the majority of the storyline. Because obviously war, despair, philosophy, and mecha (can't forget the mecha!) aren't GW.
Then again, Tyr (the GWA archivist) mentioned to me the other day that her most common complaint about my stories is that they're never IC; in her opinion, it's all ofic with GW names slapped on. I told her, I don't take it personally anymore. Now, when she tells me that, I'm happy, because it means the rest of the fandom will read it as being completely IC. It's when she tells me the story's IC (like Trace, which she really liked) that I get worried.
It's like reverse archivist psychology, or something.

The job of a fanfic filterer never ends, does it?

Date: 24 Oct 2004 09:02 pm (UTC)canon: the original text. duh.
fanon: how fans interprete it. cause, y'know, Dawn's a whiney child, and Anya has no feelings. Or, Duo is a wussy girly-boy, and Heero has no feelings. Etc.
IC: in character
OOC: out of character
I'm sure there's others but I'm trying to finish a chapter of Tet, contemplating strategy during WWII, the fundamental differences between North and South during the War Between the States, and whether or not it'd be wise to blow up L3. Heh.
