Totes random, but I need coffee to reply. *drinks a cup*
Okay, am more awake and can reply coherently.
Whether it is successfully met or not...is another story. Ah *nods knowingly* I think you pulled it off fine with this installment - heck, with this story.
The change in language was not subtle, and it felt like the author was trying to show off their knowledge of sexual positions instead of focusing on the characters or how the scene moved the plot along (if at all...) And the characterization was absolutely horrible, like said writers had no idea of the power dynamics involved in sex. Ugh, horrible. Even the best writers don't always write good lemons (an excuse for why I don't often write them); it's a fine balance between good storytelling and hot, steamy action.
LOL, I think you just insulted me :P I did? *reads again*
*thinks hard*
... Sorry. My brain isn't functioning well right now, LOL.
What I meantersay is, you're seriously one of the best Mir/San writers I have ever read (both inactive and currently active) and your writing blows me away every time. You can't put a foot wrong with me. Now, some badfics do have good lemons (see my opinion on lemonfic above) but absymal plot and other elements of good writing. So yes.
I think Mir/San fans leave the most thoughtful reviews I've seen. Maybe because there's not as much M/S fic to go around, I dunno... To be honest, I've not seen anything substantial from anyone outside our writing circle (we do not count Ardy1, LOL) since most of the great writers don't write any more.
Personally, I look for understanding (so the English teacher, but yes) and an appreciation. I get especially warm and fuzzy inside when someone gets the inside joke/meaning/reference I've put inside (I do this for all my writing) and says so.
