Minna,

Before this thread gets banned by the admin staff
permit me to give out my two cents.

Point the first: Full Moon wo Sagashite is not a
well known series and as such few people would
recognize it.  In turn, this will snow-ball to the
fic in question.  Since few people saw the series,
few people will read the fic and even fewer people
will comment on the fic.

Riposte - For a shoujo fic, this got an AMAZING
response.  I just don't believe it was viewed
according to the genre it was.  It was not taken into
account- shoujo writing is different than... other
anime writing, such as Ranma.

Point the second: On C&C, This is a constructive way
of pointing out where the fic can improve.  This
allows the author to hone his/her writing skills.
Recieving C&C is an honor and a privilege, it
signifies that the fic you wrote has affected the
reader at some level.  There is potential for the
C&Cer to misinterpret the piece (case in point my
good friend Allyn and the fic 'Atomic Kid') making
the reviewer take it too seriously, or in a wrong
context, or less seriously than he/she should.  I
have read most of the reviews and find them to be
uninsulting, sure some of them have a bit of a
'rude' tone, but that's just their suggestion.  You
do not have to take their word as gospel.  It's your
piece.  You decide.

Riposte- In no way did I diss C&C.  I prefer hard C&C;
I'll even take near flames, as long as it's not
personal.  It is the misinterpretation that drives me
NUTS.  And shoujo fandom is so prone to it.

Point the third: Shoujou fics are not dissed on this
list, they just aren't as wide-spread as they should
be.  I myself classify WAFFy fics as Shojouish but
that's just my opinion.  Raye's piece I admit was
good, but I didn't know the series so I read it and
archived it but took little notice of it.  I don't
think the reviewers 'attacked' said fic because of
the 'five year anniversary' remark.  I didn't think
they attacked it at all.  They just stated their
honest opinion.

Ripost- Here I flat out disagree.  Rarely have I seen
a shoujo fanfic received as well as its counterparts. 
Is it because shoujo writers aren't as good?  I don't
believe so....
