Dear Anonymous,

[donutsweeper]

Thank you so much for your many comments on my stories.  I really appreciate the level of commitment it shows.  I do apologize for "spamming the comms with my trite nonsense” however, I must admit, I am a bit confused since that comment was left on a drabble that was never posted anywhere other than my own personal journal.  I also understand that not everyone appreciates crossovers, however it is unfortunate that you felt so vehemently against them.  May I suggest that you avoid reading stories that are labeled as such?  I realize this might be too simple a solution, but it may just succeed.

I also am aware that sometimes I have, in the past, made errors in punctuation in my stories.  Perhaps the twelve year olds that you know write with greater skill than my daughter, who happens to be that age, because what she does to the comma can only be described as criminal.  I have been lucky enough to work with several betas who prevent my comma usage from offending all but the most sensitive of people more recently in order to address these issues.

I have changed the way my journal is set up so that it no longer allows anonymous comments.  If you choose to leave a signed comment I will be more than happy to discuss my writing with you.  I do, however, plan on continuing to write and post my stories, hopefully there are other people out there who feel differently about my writing abilities than you.

Sincerely, donutsweeper

It's got to be hard, after something like that. Just keep writing, and let those of us who love your writing encourage you until you get some objectivity back. Because we outnumber that troll by a LOT.

thanks. I may be a bit clingy and whiny and send you guys fics for perusal that I'd normally just post without a second thought, at least until I manage to bash that nutter's comments out of my head.

Feel free to do that! (Both the sending and the bashing. *g*) Needing support from your friends doesn't make you clingy and whiny. Or else we all are clingy and whiny and we can't complain. :)
