Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
RokofAges75:
Has anyone ever written a part like that that DID get a negative reaction from readers who think they went too far?
The only thing I can think of is when I was writing Broken, one of my close friends who had been reading it and giving me feedback the whole time told me she didn't think she could read anymore because it was just too much for her. It was at the peak of Nick torture, when he was going through post-choppage chemo, and she was pregnant and having some issues with that, so I could understand why she wouldn't want to read that. Other than that, I can't remember ever getting that kind of a reaction.
What's the most extreme, "Oh no you di-in't!" type part you've ever written?
Probably either Brian killing his zombie family in Song for the Undead or the "Muffin Man" part in Revenge of the Slaughtered.
What extreme scenes have shocked you in other people's stories?
Steph's bot fly scene, for sure!! The alternate ending to Mare's Whatever the Night May Bring... I think it was Ending A, but she'll know which one. ;) If we're going way back, the rape scene in Signal to Noise.
RokofAges75:
Do you do any writing in "real life" outside of fanfic?
Not really. I write in front of my students when I'm teaching writer's workshop, and I'm starting my masters this fall, so I'm sure I'll be doing some writing for that, but I don't do any writing for fun outside of fanfic. I have a few ideas for original fiction novels, but no real motivation to write any of them.
How many reviews have you left on the site according to your statistics?
649 - nowhere near some of you prolific reviewers!

Saka-Steph will appreciate why I found 649 to be amusing!
Mine is less than 300, I was sort of ashamed.
emilo:
That's because you don't leave reviews for your favorite stories, Julily ;). Mine's 112, but growing. When I was simply reading and not writing much, I didn't leave many reviews at all. I did a lot of reading before I even registered with the site. Now that I've been writing a lot and doing the reading challenge, I understand the value of good feedback, so I'm trying to do better!
mare:
I am at 789 but I'm going to go ahead and round up to 790 because I leave a review a day.
I don't think that's bad considering how little I actually do read. It would have been way higher had it been when I first found fanfic. LOL
