Okay, I've gotten enough negative feedback from this ML to last the rest of
my life. I know I asked for it, well, now I got it. It seems my story was a
little bit too much for all of the Ranma/Akane purists out there on the
FFML, and a few other people sent me their grievances, so I've decided to
quit posting this story to the FFML, because all I ever get is angry
whining of "But Ranma's not a jerk! He's such a wonderful guy, and he loves
Akane so much, and he's so honorable, and kind, blah blah blah..."
If you want future parts, send me a request or check out the newsgroup
rec.arts.anime.creative, or the Slayers ML. I'm sick of hearing about poor
Ranma, and if you have a problem with the way I treat Ranma in my fic, get
used to it. I think he's a jerk, and I'm not backing down.
Sincerely,
Christina Rose

I understand some of what you are talking about. I mean when I posted on
fict. All I got was a couple questions on why the character didn't use this
or that technique...
The thing is you have to filter out the negative UNCONSTRUCTIVE stuff out.
some negative C&C is helpful, but the it's not negative if it is helpful..
eh.. :-}
Anys, the first thing someone told me was that if you are going to do
anything there are two things you have to be willing to do,.
1. Take a bad mark occasionally and be able to blow it off.
2, Accept the fact that you can't satify 100% of the people a 100% of the
time.
I'll take C&C, I want it... I need it (helps to point out blindspots in the
Characters and the writing style) But I won't come unwound if someone tears
my stuff to hash... that's going to happen anyway, so why get worked up over
something I can't fix?
Any.. I like the first 2 part I read... and I saw a lot of suggestions on how
to improve your stuff. Take the good and ignore the bad...
