There are times when I just have to wonder who's reading my fiction. Below are the verbatim contents of a message I received from someone who submitted a few choice words using the "Quick Comment" form on my story page. ----------------------- On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 3:20 PM, Anonymous wrote: QuickComment = "Into the Void" --- Is your head permanently stuck up your ass, or just on days when you submit material to the site? The first two paragraphs turned me off so much that I never found out whether or not anyone actually got fucked. I moved on... ----------------------- Okay ... after I stopped ROTFALMAO I had to go change my underwear because I actually laughed that hard. You're kidding, right genius? What clueless cretin would spend that much time crafting such a grammatically correct treatise on where they believed my vision had been obscured by my entrails? For this daft individual, my being 'anal' isn't a physical trait, but a personal characteristic that accurately describes my tendency to try that much harder to provide a more entertaining and 'complete' piece of fiction, with a plot, for my readers. If you can do better, Sparky, please share your story page with me so I can peruse your belletristic skills and provide an equally well thought out analysis. If this person had that much energy and determination to lambaste me about my fiction they should have spent another few minutes, or in their case because of a significant learning impediment, a few more hours, trying to get to the naughty bits in the story. They might have found them if they looked hard enough, but then again ... This reminds me of someone I used to hear from occasionally who was convinced words could hurt people, and she was far less intelligent than this moral reprobate on a long Saturday night after one or two rugby teams had done their best to prove they had other uses for their balls than being tossed around on the turf. Wow! What a powerfully empty comment from a spineless moron who isn't brave enough to share their opinions with their name attached. There's plenty of stroke fodder available on lots of free story sites. If a few of my fictional works are too deep for some people to 'get', then I'm sure a better search string could be used to locate a quick ditty where the sex starts after the first or second paragraph and lasts just long enough to satisfy this person's need for five minutes of physical manipulation. I'm still chuckling at the image of this loser working his snarglies while typing with one hand. As I've said before and continue to espouse, if a majority of my readers think my fiction isn't worth the few megabytes of storage on ASSTR, then they're free to share their unabashed comments with me through their email system, including their email address so I can honestly thank them for their input, and I'll remove my works permanently from this site. I hope my readers enjoy this poor person's input as much as I did. Eliston X. Gaulfre Rewdius@gmail.com
