SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO MANNERS!
My friend from fanfiction.net told me this, and as pissed off as I am at it, she is too!
This person sent her a review to her story Run In with The Black Sheep, *which is ttly awesome btw*
READ THIS! The person didn't even have to read the story, it's her/his fault she read it. Not my friends. My friend has every right to post a story like that, and a few people DO like that stuff. This person had no right to speak for others when she doesn't even know.
Okay, let me just break this to you nicely.
No matter how well-written a story, no matter how believable the pairing, no
matter how much you may love it yourself, nobody - I repeat, nobody - wants to
read a story involving a canon character x your self-insertion OC. Most people,
upon seeing that described in the story summary, would immediately avoid it, no
matter how well-done it could have been. Stories like this are fun to write, I
know, I've written some myself -- but you honestly can't expect tons of people
to come reading it and enjoy it as much as you have. They're meant to be written
and then enjoyed by you and you alone. Fangirling is always one-sided, nobody
wants to hear how you and your dream guy fall in love... Really.
I've gone through your list of authored stories, and one after one they all are
about a canon character paired with your self-insert OC... honestly. Nobody
wants to read that except yourself. Your writing is good, so it's disappointing
-- I'm sure if you wrote fanfics involving pairings (or not involving any
pairings at all!) that were entirely canon characters, you'd get a LOT more
readers and reviewers, including myself.
But as good as your writing is, I simply cannot stand to read a self-insert
romance story. They're simply for your own satisfaction and enjoyment, not that
of others. I hope eventually you'll realize this. And, if you're very young, I
apologize for coming off so harshly.
