ORIGINAL: missturbation Taken for what it is, a piece of creative literature it's great. Hate to think how critical some of the posters here are of other fictional writing. I've written a bit myself through the years and I am, generally, much more critical of my own work than anyone elses. It wasn't the writing or style which I was speaking about though, it was the content which smacks to me of 'this way and no other'. That's my impression and I don't apologize for it. I also read the OP's profile before I posted and he has a statement which reads "Perfection is the Submissive". That's why I view this as fantasy. That's a lot of pressure to put on someone else. Personally, I didn't read the OP as a piece of creative literature but if I had I would not charaterize the piece as 'great' as I think that devalues the truly 'great' literature that is available to the masses. That, however, is subjective and everyone has different taste. My taste for fiction runs towards the classics, my taste for non-fiction runs towards the realistic and/or historic and I don't find this OP to be satisfying to either one of those taste buds. I appreciate that others got something from it, but for those of us who didn't, the purpose of the forums is to offer up opinions, right? Not everyone is going to agree on everything, so for one to be surprised at critique rather surprises me as a poster. What is put out there is opening ones writing to all sorts of responses, good, bad and indifferent.. that's the nature of forums. I don't believe my response was mean or nasty, but it was honest and my own impression and that's all I can give in this medium. Assumptions: The assumption which I made was that the OP wanted the piece read and he wanted feedback to what he wrote, otherwise he would have put it in his journal rather than present it in an open forum. It is what it is and I read it as colored by my own world view and perceptions. What else can I do? Celeste
