I Mind Immensely
Do you mind updating? Reading this entire story in one go would be a terrible waste of time if you won't update, right?
This feedback both annoys and perplexes me. Sure it's more polite than the average demand for me to write fanfic but what the hell does someone who hasn't read my fic, as this post implies, care if I update it? How do they know the fic is worth updating? And just because I hate it when people demand updates, even politely, I must give a response of I'll update when I feel like it and/or have the fucking time.

meingeheimnis do you get a lot of this? You take longer than me to update though I have been really lax due to a warped amount of drama at my little ink store involving loss prevention issues and employee theft accusations as well as a tiring new store set up. But still! It's a damn hobby, I don't get paid to write Luna and Hermione fanfic and if I did update I would just get people bitching at me how they haven't kissed yet and I end all my chapters in cliffhangers.
Can you tell I feel grumpy? Because I do feel grumpy. Like a smurf. Except less blue and miniature and living in a fungus house. Blerh.
On the up side, I'm terribly amused by my emo inspired Marty Moon icon from Gil Thorp. That's an actual cut from one of the comic strips and it's a pretty accurate assessment for how all the other characters in that series feel about him. While he is amusing to read about he is also damn annoying.

i've always supplied reasons and i don't get annoyed, it just makes me want to write less... like some days i'll be planning to write and then someone is "update?" and then i just sort of lose interest in writing that day...
