I do not hate you and i will continue to read. I'm totally with you on:
>>The story is also purposely from Jared's pov, and purposely leaving *out* any real clues to what Jensen's thinking, because that's part of Jared's frustration and confusion -- so didn't want the reader 'getting it' when poor Jared didn't. Also probably because I'm totally a Jensengirl, and I just love *looking* at him, through Jared's eyes or anyone else's. :)<<
I really appreciate the writers who so freely post their stories here. And especially when i enjoy a story; the only way to "pay them back" so to speak; is to write a review. So many people just leave comments like; that was hot, more; or omg,i can't breath... those aren't really reviews; those are statements. so i tend to write everything i feel about reading the story. Not just the obvious good stuff, but also the stuff that bothers me or didn't make sense or writers contradicting themselves. The writers take the time to write thousands of words and deserve more than a 2 sentence response. So if i leave a review, it means i really enjoyed the story; but i also have to mention the stuff that doesn't quite click with me, or stuff i don't quite understand. So, the fact that i was frustrated is a credit to you; because just by reading your story, i began to feel what Jared was feeling. That's pretty powerful. So you owe no apologies. And continue to be true to your muse. if you feel more comfortable posting shorter chapters-it's your story, it's your decision. And for your first story on LiveJournal--very, very well done. brava. I'll be reading you.
