Dear fanfic author

[tari_roo]

I ... don't usually do this, but... I feel a need to vent that isn't through an unfair comment, so:

dear fanfic author,

I see what you did there. You ran out of time for your challenge and just kind - handwaved the ending. I understand that - as a writer. But as a reader I feel kinda cheated. You were building up to something quite interesting and then, wham bham, thank you Sam, all resolved neatly in time for the deadline.

Disappointedly.

You read the ending first!!!! O.o you, you... you do that with books, too, don't you? *covers eyes* I am friends with a heathen! A HEATHEN!

I have done that once, in a book, just to see if a character I hoped wasn't dead reappeared until I realised that the other characters could just be talking about him. *sniff* And then I went back and read it properly.

SHEESH... read the ending first! *stalks off muttering*

*runs back and smishes you*

Bwahahaha! Beware or my evil ways will corrupt you! ;p *hugs you back*

Sometimes, when a book tells two parallel stories, I only first read the one involving "my" hero as I don't want to leave him out of my sight for just one second. Then I read the book properly again from the beginning, filling out the little gaps that happened elsewhere with others or OCs while he was busy getting hurt.

Did that with the book "Exodus Code" John and Carole Barrowman have written ;) Am I a heathen too, now?

*squinty eyes* You have heathenish qualities.... because I understand the impetus to skip ahead on one character story arc but also.... heathenish. ;-)

You are apparently friends with more than one heathen.

*whistles innocently*

Okay, who am I kidding? You already knew I was evil. But in my defense, I only skip to the end to see if my deductive powers are as brilliant as I think they are if I have guessed correctly about what is going to happen. I must say, fanfics that are WIPs have been very good at curbing this habit though.

I guess between that and my evil prompts...I am doomed.

Actually, I'm not all that surprised... surprisingly. Your evilness probably knows no bounds and testing deductive reasoning sounds so ... plausible.

So, I counter your evil - with Jane.

Jane? You think Jane will have an effect on evil!Aunt Mo?

Bwhahaha.....

How can anyone resist such sweetness???? O.o

Only true evil and Fitzwilliam Darcy. I think you know which one you are ;-)

So you think you know who I am, do you?

O.o

Your awesomeness continues to... amaze me ;-)
