I couldn't help myself, I had to leave a review. I read the rest of her story in an attempt to be fair and put her characterization in context, and this (http://kotorfanmedia.com/story/caritas-o/when-all-is-said-and-done-chapter-5/) insanely long review was the result.
(I feel kinda bad, cause this is someone who's read and complimented my stuff. I never know what to do in situations like that; when someone checks out my stuff and then I go to check out their stuff and it's kinda...well...not that great :/)
I've had to struggle with this myself, so I understand how you feel. The conclusion I've come to is that unless someone tells the author the problems in their story, how are they going know that those problems exist or grow as an author?
Actually, while I've had a few authors get mad at me, most authors are rather gracious about the reviews they get, even if they completely disagree with what I've told them.
Pshaw. I love yours too much to attempt a pale comparison ;)
Aww... come and join us in the cult of Morgana... You know you want too... LOL.
