you are all quite welcome...

I am idling in chat chatting with Leslie right now if anyone wants to join in, and yes, I am busily

Friends--

I am having the weirdest reaction and you need to help me a bit....


I am so tempted to write back and blast her out of the water but then I say, what's the point? Why bother? If she doesn't want to read, she doesn't need to read, right? But it is that visceral reaction of "don't you dare say anything bad about E&E!" And it is also the reaction of those who would critique a story who haven't even read it. THAT just makes me see red...

Leslie,

I can really understand why you are  so upset with your friend .

But, think of it this way – you actually owe her, big time. She sent you the firts link to the "Laramie Saga", which you love and enjoy to this day….. that is actually quite a favour…

Personally, I can't understand why people are sometimes so mean to some fanfictions. 
I even have to confess that some huge crowd-pleasers left me cold (  **cough**  HI** cough** ), but I still don't feel their writers and/or readers should be tarred and feathered….

Also, heated debate is a sign that a story touches people deeply and emotionally, which, in a way, is a huge compliment to its' author … (i mean, what would you rather write – a story that left people heated-up, or a story that people read, say "oh, nice" and then 5 seconds later can't be bothered to remember what's it about.. ??).

That's just my 2 cents worth though…

Lesile dear,

I think RonitR has a point. But if this person really bothers you, you can always ignore her/her somehow. Perhaps not answering her emails, but believe me I know what is to feel like you're feeling now.

Your picture was nice too, David!  E and E will be in bed soon enough, though I doubt Ennis' back will look quite so perfect tonight...lol.
