That feeling when beta reader 1 says the stuff you have sounds good because she goes wherever the author wants to their readers but beta reader 2 says there’s too much information being thrown all at once and everything is difficult to follow. TT-TT
Time for some (hopefully) quick edits!

Haha valid points all around! ^^
I tend to be unnecessarily descriptive and provide too much detail or information all at once. That was one of the hardest challenges with the first fic I posted on AFF. That roadblock is what ended up fueling my hiatus because I knew exactly what I wanted for the climax of this one scene, didn’t want to give up a single detail, and in the end I had to accept the fact that it just didn’t mesh well with how I wanted to present the ending of the story.
Many thanks, both of you! This truly does help!

@CloverReef The first one is someone that does read just about every genre that exists. She loves to read and understands the angle I’m coming from. The second enjoys the idea behind the character and the fact that I’m staying true to the anime I’m writing about, but I’m not sure how much reading she does in her free time. She’s a fan of the show but thinks for this one part I gave too much detailed information about my OC’s background instead of bringing in bits and pieces as you go along.
I do bounce ideas off both, although the first tends to stay closer to my own ideas when providing feedback or at least helping me rework certain things and still stay within the initial idea. The second offers feedback, but it’s in the complete opposite direction most of the time and changes the main character too much…..might need that tie breaker. >_>
@Desiderius Price The second pestered me to read! I caved, and now I have some regrets. But I mean, I did take those comments back to the first beta reader for discussion and she understood the concerns. Again, I’m hoping some quick edits makes it feel less overwhelming with this one chunk. @_@

Hmm...my muse does not care for the character created for her. But if i write her with all the characteristics she wants, she'd be this Mary Sue i've read so much about.

That awkward moment your search history for your story becomes questionable.
..... now i understand this fear.
And one thing i didn't consider when starting my second story was just how much background i'd have to breathe into my OC. And again, giftfic, but i'm choosing to post it publicly which means, friend aside, i need to give this character enough of a foundation that the reader would be enticed to read more about her since the story will not contain sexual content like the succubus story.

Auto-correct, especially on my new tablet, has been the bane of my existence!!

Relieved I finally finished my Naneko x Seiten Taisei story. I hit a roadblock for so long, the last few months really helped crank out the last of her story. It actually helped create more backstory with my next OC x Saiyuki story. ~K

Thank you!
It was quite the challenge but I couldn’t be more excited to finally have the thing done.
