Let the whole world see this.

Okay. Here is the problem.

"La Fille Miserables," aka n00b's first Sue.

It's the tragic tale (I assume it'll be tragic, but I also love saying "tragic tale") of Kierra Lynnia, a foreign girl who, homeless in Paris, stumbles upon les Amis and, for some reason, immediately becomes one of them and starts living with Courfeyrac (who says "Sacre bleu" in chapter one. I kid you not.) in a sisterly way. She has green eyes and blonde hair. She goes to a meeting and immediately starts huffing and crying about how revolution is bad and Enjy's attempts to help the poor are going to FAIL.

There are eleven reviews for this story and NOT ONE of them is positive. The first one from me is curt and rude, but I couldn't care less.

Anyway, each time she gets flamed, this little authoress posts another chapter and makes some note about how she doesn't care what reviews say. After reading the most recent one I got annoyed and posted this rather lengthy... rant.

( Long  )

I later wished I had added something like, "I look forward to your response, which I'm sure will either be a poorly-worded dismissal of one point I made here or an outcry against my meanness," but oh well. I was working under a huge fever at the time. But the little bugger outdid me completely when, three days later, I had this little gem waiting in my inbox!

I do not ignore ALL of my reviews. I will listen to reviews, and I have, in fact, done some of the things other people have told me to. I do not, however, like being told that I'm a stupid ignorant little twit who knopws nothing and that I should stop writing. And I have just gone back in my printed copies and I'm fixing my typos.
And I do realize that there are stories that don't just "re-tell" it and are not mary sue, but most characters are still never completely in cxharacter and most details are still not completely accurate. I'm not saying that makes what I am writing any better, but you're the one who started the comparing. ANd if you have read the book, you will note that during this period in which mine is set, there is not much detail said to follow, since at the point you don't hear much from the barricade boy end.

Can... can anyone help me decode that last sentence?


(Also, I am indeed doing much better! Nothing but a stuffy nose and a cough now. Thanks so much to everyone who commented on my last post! You guys are great.)
