Alright, I know this may seem a bit strange coming from me, Redneck
Gaijin probably wouldn't touch one of MY fics with a ten foot pole
(don't pun...don't pun...don't pun) But I have to defend him by saying
this. Redneck was originally responding to a post by a newbei wondering
why they weren't getting any C&C. Redneck gave his opinion and his
criteria for fics that he WOULD C&C. 

Not exactly... I gave an example of why I don't C&C that much. Why? Because
my C&C are too inclined to become flames. 

	Was his views egotistical or elitist? Maybe, but they were also
ENTITLED. Someone asked a question and he responded with his opinion.
I'm sorry to the individual who felt that their fic was wronged. But
when you post your fic in a public place, it's subject to public
objection.  
	Conversely, those who have voiced their opposing opinoins are equaly
justified. My point? Don't take it so damn seriously! Redneck can
continue to delete Dark fics and others can delete Redneck fics!
	Me? I'll read both, you guys are just SOOOOOOO Kawaii when you fight ;)

um, thanks.  }:-{D

Aye, what you say is valid. It's just that his comments are so infuriating
as well as....immature, considering his age. Note that his comments are not
just on the author flamed alone. It implies to the majority of the authors
as well. Now that is just over the edge and plain pointless. He is not just
writing C&C's; he's personally attacking our style of writing on any fics
except those based on comedy. Ha! Let him see if he can do better, I say,
and be done with it.

No, I'm objecting to there being so many fanfics written in the Ranma
universe with -no- comedic value. It is completely possible to have a
serious Ranma story, so long as there is humor to leaven it a bit. 

And I'm working on it.

(Opinions are like Dimesional Mallets, everybodies got one, their just)
(rarely lethal until someone gets Glomped!!!)  

uh huh.

Anyway, my opinions are just that, mine, and not necessarily applicable to
anyone else. You're free to read and write whatever you want to, but I am
also free to not read and not write as I see fit. 

And as for beine elitist and egotistical? Egotistical I don't know about-
after all, I never claimed my standards were anyone else's, even though I
could personally wish otherwise- but elitist I might admit to- I'm not going
to waste my time reading something I know I'm going to hate. 

gah, enough with defending myself.
