The scat part’s pretty short, once you’re past that, it gets… well, not spoiling it for others. (I didn’t really feel like marking up with signs “scat start here!” and “scat ends here!”.) I do intend to bring that particular character back in the future, so this story was character development, to a degree.

Admittedly, even a critical (honest/balanced) review can leave me stinging a while. It’s kinda like getting dental work, I know it’s good for me, but it hurts to receive it. But this one wasn’t even that, so for you Clover …

Another one too scared to finished… guess that’s a sign of a good halloween story! Thank you for reviewing what you did read, and yes, I did go in deeper than I had ever before with story tags.

That review seems weird and confusing….

@CloverReef Yes, it is good they announced their intentions to leave. No, I wasn’t deaf to their tone, just elected to ignore it and try to figure out the why-they-come-to-jesus sort of moment, kinda because its the sort of reasoning that might fit into my story lines, as my stories tend to portray the bigotry and closed mindedness that can be associated with religion. @BronxWench I may not like their tone/message, but free speech, IMO, includes the right to insult the entire website as they rage quit. And, I do find some intrigue because it’s the right sort of self-righteous tone I need for some of the characters in my stories. @JayDee I’ll divide your comment by zero, happy now? @pippychick When the lines get blurred, cut back on the drinking and/or take a break. BTW, I did see the original post nearly immediately, I had elected to sleep on it, because I knew a fast reply would’ve not been a side I like to show. (I take a similar approach with concrit because my gut reaction is to get defensive, so I wait until it’s not.)

@WillowDarkling Thanks for moving them, I didn’t really want to stop talking about this topic so soon (and have the usual digression). @SirGeneralSir With just their post, we don’t know what happened. Could be something they did, or, they found religion, or it could be a legally pressured sort of thing. @BronxWench Yep, we’re all adults here, and from the literary perspective, I’d say that bartender would make for a more interesting character. And I don’t like using the word “porn” because that’s derogatory, IMO, to the works that portray that particular aspect of the human condition.

To the original poster, Having seen people just vanish, this announcement, in the least, will be around for when others come asking. Your statement is a rather broad statement, implying that people are incapable of distinguishing fiction vs reality. That you carried fiction into reality when you shouldn’t have, I do wish you learn from this, but your overall reaction seems a bit of a knee jerk. If you’re implying what I think you’re implying, that you become what you write/read, then I should be highly suspect of all Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmes fans as very shady people. We all have somebody around us who’s on that end of the spectrum where even we try to be “family friendly”, they’d find our work to be irreprehensible. The only way to avoid that is to simply not write, not create, and the world would be a much duller place.
