If I see one more "OK" in an LOTR fic, I swear I'm going to RIP SOMEBODY'S GUTS OUT!

You've Been Warned.

*pouts and feels very badly*

You know, my mom lives with me now (she, at 80, is the oldest LoTR slash fan fiction fan of whom I am aware). She still has one of those pressure cookers and it still scares the CRAP out of me!

I am SO sorry. You know, someone told me once that my reference to a scene from the movie (the Black Gate scene in TTT where Sam says "No, Mr Frodo. No.") yanked them out of Crosswise Verse just the way you describe and they no longer trusted me as a writer. Made me feel bad, but I couldn't fix that one. It was the whole basis for the fic after all! (My beta said "Write me a story about how Sam feels about saying 'No' to his Mr Frodo.")

This one I can fix. And, sorry, I am taking it to heart.

I am glad you like the fic, but I am so, so sorry I tossed you out of the holodeck temporarily!!

Do you, by chance, have an advanced copy of the essay that I can use as a reference?

Heh.

Aw, heck!

See, that's just why I didn't say anything about a specific story in the original post - I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I wasn't intending to point fingers; I just really needed to vent, briefly but loudly. Really, hon, the fic is wonderful, and your writing is just great. And my pet peeves are just that. I'm really sorry I made you feel bad...

As to the Slash Rant, I'll poke around in my files and see if I have it here. If not, I'll have to send it over this evening. :)

You didn't "hurt my feelings"!!! LOL!!!! Nope, I hurt myself by kicking myself around the room for making such a foolish mistake and ruining someone's enjoyment of the story!!!

When I said I was pouting and feeling very badly and that I took it to heart I meant I felt very badly for YOU!!! I felt guilty, not hurt!!!

Obviously I am not communicating well these days!! LOL! Perhaps I should just stop posting for a while - heh heh.

OK, so I will try again.

*pouts, scuffs toe in dirt, looks up with big glimmering eyes* "I am sorry that I ruined your fun. Please forgive me? I will do penance, and seek extra points as well."

*grins and runs off to find copy of Hardbrace*
