Question of the Day Part 5
Rose:
You said one of my answers for me Lore lol. In an angsty story, when you hear you made someone cry, it means you moved them emotionally. So it's just a really big compliment.
The only one that's topped that, is when Julie and I had people tell us we should get Song For The Undead published. That they could see it as a book or even as a movie. To me that is HUGE, and flattering and just... I never know how to respond to it besides saying thank you 1000 times LOL.
FrickingKaos:
Haven't had the idea for a sequel for anything. I've been asked to do one for FYO but honestly I don't think there's anymore I could have done. However I did write a really angsty one shot that I was proud of. I love when Nick is angsting it up in a story.
Nicest compliment? I was told that someone decided to start reading fanfiction and I was the first she read. I've been told I have a way with dialogue. Comments like that are really nice but the BEST one was when Mare reviewed FYO and said she told other people to read it. I was really flattered because she's my favorite writer here :)
FrickingKaos:
Rose, not gonna lie but I've told you several times you've made me cry. You have a way with writing angst and people's emotions that just end up getting me in the same mindset as the characters. I'm not a big crier with movies but for some reason fanfics get me. I've cried at several people's stories.

Thanks so much, Tracy & I'm glad I introduced your story to do many people. It was a great one!
Which leads me to the nicest compliment question. Whenever people say things like I'm their favorite author or I inspired them to write something really to me are the nicest things to hear. Also like what Rose said, when people tell me I should get so and so story published. It was actually feedback I got from an awards site that Mel's won a bunch of awards that inspired me to even try to get it published in the first place.

I agree with everyone else's answers to the compliment question. The crying one is big for me because I write a lot of tearjerkers. If I can make you care enough to cry, I did my job. And hearing that you're someone's favorite fanfic author or that you inspired someone or that your story's good enough to be published is amazing!
I think my favorite compliments are the ones that fit how I've felt about reading my own favorite fanfics. When someone tells me they spent a whole day reading (or rereading) one of my stories in one sitting because they could not put it down, or that my story stuck with them long after they finished it, that reminds me of my own experiences reading certain fanfics that I put on a pedestal, and it's awesome to think I could have created that same experience for someone else and that they're holding a story I wrote in the same high regard.
