I'd be more annoyed with her, but she has been terrified and has suffered a great deal of blood loss. It's only natural that she'd search for some sort of comfort and it doesn't hurt that Gabriel is being really nice to her [i]and[/i] isn't bad to look at.
One of those perfect storms to help along what one can arguably call a mistake.
I am making far too much sense for someone who is completely out of it.
Like I stated before, I never meant for my comment to come across as an order or even as me talking down to you and I sincerely apologize that that's the way it came across. If I'd known that's how it'd be construed, I would have just commented that I enjoyed the chapter and been done with it.
I accept your apology and I hope you accept mine and that we can put this behind us. Especially since our conflict came mostly because both of us weren't as clear as we could have been about what we were saying and you're welcome. I do appreciate great writers and I will try to comment more often on your story and show my appreciation more. :3
I still disagree with you on quite a few points, but I honestly can't be bothered to argue. You have your opinion and I have mine.
However, I will say that I did not lecture you. I stated my opinion and you were allowed to do whatever you wanted with it, but I never told you what to do. I said that in my opinion you SHOULD be doing something, but I never outright told you what to do and I wasn't rude about it. You were more than slightly rude about it. Like I said before and you confirmed you'd been having a rough week, maybe that's why you reacted so harshly about it, but it was never meant to be a confrontation. If it came across that way then I apologize. I just wanted to tell you how I felt about it since you were hostile in the author's note and then somehow my apparently wrongful attempt at dispensing advice gained myself more hostile. My point was simple but apparently not very well conveyed.
You're a great writer. Keep writing. Comments or no comments, your talent is not going to change and I hope that gives you some hope. A billion comments wouldn't help someone with no talent become good and no comments at all won't change the fact that you're brilliant. THAT is what I meant and probably should have thought through and written out when I initially commented.
And you're welcome. Good work does deserve appreciation and once again, don't doubt that just because it's not outwardly shown that you aren't appreciated. Trust me, you are.
Heehee. YAAAY! But yeah, I pointed it out because too often I find it very easy to choose a side within an argument (exe. girl flips out at guy because he doesn't shun his female coworkers, he's not flirting with them and he's never dated them, he's just not ignoring them either) and it makes it hard for me to be as sympathetic to the character I'm SUPPOSED to be relating to. xDDDDD
So yeah, you're just awesome. Keep up bein' a bamf.
You're welcome :) I know the feeling.. it really shows you if your readers get certain things you put in your chapters.
Can we expect an update any time soon? 0:)
