So random
Karma hates me right now. Aruba.it hates me. Nintendo distribuitors hate me. Norma Editorial hates me. With my luck, I wonder if I'll be able to find torrents for Hogfather any time soon.
But hey, cool links for you. If you can stand to read e-books on your computer, there's the very illegal /bookchan/. Which is like 4chan, but with literature instead of porn! OMG!

hamsterfactor, have you noticed Arlongpark.net HAS text translations of the SBS sections of One Piece here? I was reading up until the volume I'm in, and LMAO! It's sometimes interesting and meta, sometimes crack, and sometimes just stupid. I wish now all mangakas had fanmail replies in volumes like Odacchi. That's so unique~
And now the moment of stupidity sponsored by The Pit. Hey, my Eriol/Kaho got my first retarded review! Not a flame, though, but this fanbrat so obviously didn't read my fic.
"N after a few more days of talking they fell in love n so on n so
forth...typical...anyway hurry up n update! I can't wait 2 read ur nx
chapter!"

Let's go in parts, "SnowCharms":
a) And after a few more days of talking they fall in love? NO. No. Actually, no. I love how she makes conclusions from thin air. The fic is pairing-labeled, but it's going to be mostly genfic, probably with some usual tension. But NO, Kaho won't fall in love after meeting him a couple of times. That's boring. I write canon, so she just got out of a relationship and won't even notice she likes Eriol as a man until... months later, actually. Hell, it'll come as a surprise to her as well; so far she has no idea that's the guy she's supposed to meet in England. But really, it's going to take her a long time, and so far he's just exchanging information with her and earning her trust, and later they'll become friends. Most of the future chapter ideas are of the gen variety, some with sillyness and some with tl;dr conversations. But I'm not going to have Kaho drooling over Eriol's awesomeness that blatantly. She may think "hee, he's so strange/wise/kind/crazy" but not "OMG HAWT I WUB HIM SO MUCH! PLZ LOVE ME BACKand not Tomoyo WOE ANGST *emo lyrics go here*".
The whole point is: just because 95% of the Pit authors are predictable it doesn't mean all of them are going to do things the easy way. My story is slow, my story will end as soon as I feel the canon timeline should start (so no cheesy dates and snogging would happen because duh), and the fact you assume I'll have her after his pants two weeks after he meets him offends me a lot.
b) I'm not accepting a "typical" label from someone with this crap in her favorite list of fics. Excuse me if I take "typical" from you as a compliment, because you sure like OOC/AU pieces of garbage in your reads. So yes, I'd prefer boring and IC before "atypical" and "...wait, who are these people again?"

It WAS rather tl;dr, if you don't like dialogue and exposition in romance/gen fics...I sort of prefered the flames from E/T rabid shippers, somehow. It's a good thing her, er, spelling would make her 'concrit' lose cred, because the last thing I need is a potential reading reading its reviews and believing my fic will be boring.
Next chapter will have Ruby and Spinel yay!
