Tonks love! And If you're going to tell me I suck, send evidence

[mhalachai]

First off: Tonks love! theregoesyamum has a great character profile up on Tonks: The Deconstruction of a Miss Nymphadora Tonks. In which Gun goes into the character, how Tonks is smart and blunt and fallible and real, and then the writer backs her shit up with evidence. Good times.

Second: You know, if you don't like what I'm doing in my stories, tell me. But give me evidence and specifics, not just "yeah, this licked, you hack." I'm willing to take criticism as much as anyone, but give me a hand and make it constructive, KTHNX.

PS No one actually said that my writing licks, or called me a hack. I'm paraphrasing.

Oh, every time you mention "future chapters" my heart goes pitter-pat.

Of course they are two opposite things. That was what was confusing me, because I assumed it would be either/or without thinking about it. But the contradiction is a very human real-life one, if easy to forget while reading a less insightful type of fiction. I forgot who I was dealing with. :) (I love that feeling while reading, when something hits you simultaneously as so true to life/character and yet so totally unexpected. I forget where that happened in the last Harry section right now, but it totally did.)

The marks between Anita and Nathaniel is something I need to expand on a little more before future chapters. Thanks for the reminder :)

NO PROBLEM I am SO looking forward to it!!!

And thanks :) since you don't mind, perhaps I will stop limiting myself to five or six word reviews, but in the future I will at least wait until I have calmed down somewhat before posting. Trust me. You haven't seen the worst of my enthusiasm.
