| Myriad 2006-02-17 ch 1, anon. | abuseOkay, I'm sorry, because I don't usually say such things, but I felt physically sick after reading this. You've done something I hate in fanfic- used rape as a plot device. You had Caldwell rape Elizabeth, maybe to reassert in your mind that he's a 'bad guy' and then ended with about three sentences to explain 'oh yeah, he had mental breakdowns and schizophrenia. That's why he did it'. You spent more time on the actual rape than the emotional state/reaction of Elizabeth afterwards. You (as I saw it) used rape as a way for John to ride up on his horse and rescue his damsel-in-distress. If you really must insist on having John and Elizabeth together, go write fluff or some kind of angst that ends with the two together. Whatever. Please don't use such a horrendous and *real* subject as a way of doing so. I've checked out your other fics; you write fairly well, although you could do with a beta reader. But please, take this down. I see only a story that will remain in my mind as one of the most sickening things I've ever read. |
| Aunt-Slappy 2005-11-07 ch 1, | abuseI'm not sure what to say. I read the story two days ago and have been kind of disturbed ever since. I'm told that is a sign of a good writer, if what is written really affects the reader. I think you are a very good writer, but the topic was difficult. Keep writing, hopefully something lighter? |
