Best. Review. Ever.

[kelly_chambliss]

As a fanfic writer, I've been lucky enough to receive many lovely reviews for my work over the years. Thoughtful reviews, heart-felt reviews, detailed reviews explaining what lines the readers liked, fascinating analytical reviews, funny reviews. . .I've loved them all.

But a review I received recently has become one of my favorites. It was for a story called "Watches of a Samhain Night," in which McGonagall summons the ghosts of her dead lovers on Halloween.

Here's what my reader wrote: "Awww I love the idea of a lesbian McGonagall. This fanfic is amazing, apart from the weird parts. I don’t think I should be reading those."

No, indeed. No one should read weird parts.

LOL Oh boy. The weird parts can be a bit weird. *nods*

[kelly_chambliss]

Of course, if I were a person who had trouble with "weird parts," I think I might steer clear of fanfic in general!

[walgesang]

ahahaha, oh the weird parts. Viva la weird parts!

[kelly_chambliss]

Seriously. What's life -- or fanfic -- without the weird parts?

[delphi]

Oh dear. Oh, oh dear.

(Meanwhile, I am only here for the weird parts.)

[kelly_chambliss]

The world of fanfic without the weird parts would be. . .well, weird.

[lokifan]

LOLLLLL... oh dear.

[kelly_chambliss]

Yeah, what's fanfic without the weird?

[lash_larue]

I hope this reader never stumbles across some of my stories. At leasy your weird parts are well-written. ;)

What's the point of reading fanfic if you don't want the weird parts?

[musyc]

Oh, definitely not the weird parts. XD

[kelly_chambliss]

Of course, once you cut out the weird parts, there's not much fanfic left!

[nocturnus33]

That is so repressed that it becomes incredibly cute.

[kelly_chambliss]

It IS cute; after I finished laughing, I was rather charmed by it.

[lash_larue]

Hell, at my age, all of my parts are weird.

And NOBODY wants to read them.

LOL. But are you sure you're not a ghost?
