...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.

Yaoi-con was good to you, eh? What a sweet way to put it, and made my day. ;-) Yeah, I know I do write stuff different from the rest, but I don't consider myself that different; then again, I have CYT, Mal, Arith, and Casey as cohorts in crime. I'd certainly never put The Arrangement or Glory in the category of 'just like the rest'. (I will never, ever, ever write a story that involves a safe house, however. Period.) I guess it would seem like it's a whole 'nother anime - but then, I have this obsession with character development...and honestly, of all the stories, maybe only Drums had them ending at points closest to where they began. All the rest, they move away from their starting points.

Oh, well. As long as it's coherent, believeable, and consistent within the story itself, that's what matters...uh, right?
