Yeah, see my apology on the bottom of the previous page. You know, in case you missed it.

EDIT:  Almost ToP...

We all have our faves when it comes to fanfic, I know I do.  But here's a cute pic to make everyone feel better

@ Star - I quoted this


Love for Kaidan aside, that was one of the most well-written fan pieces I've read in a long time. Made my work look like ****** but that's not important.


Her writing makes makes everyone else's look like that, don't worry about it. All the rest of us can do is keep writing, and revel in her amazing gift.


so now, I wasn't the one who started with a ******.

you all are entitled to your preferences and opinions. I think her fic is average - better then many but far from the best, you think its amazing and that's fine. however, you are making a statement that goes beyond "I think her fic is the best out there" you are adding "it makes everyone else's fic look bad"

no. it doesn't.

but why do I bother. its ok in this thread to belittle other characters, to show how Kaidan is the best, why stop at that?


*sigh*   To me the original author of that comment was expressing a personal feeling of insecurity and generalizing it -  and the respondant simply trying to make the person feel better.  That doesn't mean *I* have to take it personally and generalize from it which I didn't.  So yes, I do think akg's work is wonderful. :)

@ Star - I personally would have said: "no it doesn't make your fic look like ******, its a great fic, but so is yours." the difference is - uplifting without putting down. and I should also apologize and rephrase - instead of saying that I've read better I should have said I've read fics I've enjoyed more.

I'm glad you like it. we don't have to all share the same tastes, that would be boring.

@ Jenova - arguing is my middle name.

Gladly, if it means we can all agree that we all have different opinions on different things, and nobody will go out of their way to make anyone else feel inadequate about said opinions.

Blasphemy, we all know that my opinions are only the correct ones. I am always right and everyone is always wrong. I shall take no other thought, I am fact. :P


Yes I would like some cookies, but with custard creams please. Yum.

Writing a fic based from Shepards point of view about her relationship and life before with Kaidan. Not sure if I like it or no tbh.

Most people can't be as eloquent and uplifting as you.
Most people tend to empathize when they share the same feelings.

Actually, this is discussion.  Discussion doesn't necessarily mean agreement.  I respect that Leah has a different opinion.  I'm also aware that there are other background discussions influencing some of this and those have been resolved elsewhere. :) 

I do miss the days where we could talk about things without worrying that lack of complete agreement on everything meant we were arguing.  But no worries.  Back to Kaidan...

I know what you are saying and I agree.......... I was making light of things... because it seemed to be getting... tense again :)

One more lemon cookies:innocent:

Edit: and tea with lemon. And lemon with sugar. It seems my preparation for autumn went a little too far.

:?

I'll be the first to say that eloquence is not my strongest point.  and I do empathize when people feel bad about their work after seeing/reading/etc something that they concider to be so much better.  but I try as hard as I can manage not to lump everyone into the empathy pile is all.  so if someone's work makes me feel enadequate and someone else feels same - I might say - I knw exactly how you feel, but I try very hard not to say - it should make us all feel enadequate with its greateness.

sorry to restart this, but I just saw this post, chose to see it litteraly rather then give in to paranoia and expectation of sarcasm and felt the need to reply.

to bring it back to Kaidan - when I try to emphasize with people and make them feel better about themselves, I try to stick to his values.  treat and view people as individuals not as a collective group.

edited to add: posting an update about your favorite fic is in no way shape and form to blame for any arguments,  especially since this particular fiction was a popular reading choice long before ME3 was even announced.  the argument started due to a choice of words and has been since resolved with Star and Gracelyn at least.

I feel somewhat responsible for starting this little argument/discussion about Manipulations, since I was the one who posted the new chapter and commented on how much I enjoy it.

This is what happens when I stop lurking and actually join the conversation...XD When will I learn
