Emma Fielding: More Bitter than Death Hallmark Movie

Review: Emma Fielding: More Bitter than Death Hallmark Movie

It’s been a while since I checked up on my Cozy Mystery movies on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel, so when I went to see if any movies had come out for Aurora Teagarden, Fixer-Upper Mysteries, and Emma Fielding. I did find one new movie for Emma Fielding came out; More Bitter than Death.

This movie gets its title and plot from the fifth book in the Emma Fielding series by Dana Cameron.…

Returning to Writing

I’ve always enjoyed writing. Ever since I was in elementary school, I’ve written stories, mostly fan fics, though they didn’t have a name for them back then. I’ve written in the world of Elfquest and Pern, and co-ran a Gargoyles mailing list in the 90s with my husband. I shared my writing with only a select group of people, if at all, until I started blogging.

My blogging has mostly been just…

Cat About Town: A Cat Cafe Mystery #1

Cat About Town by Cate Conte My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m a sucker for cat mysteries. I’ll try just about any title that has a cat as a co-star. So when I found a series called “A Cat Cafe Mystery” I thought it would be right up my alley. Unfortunately, that didn’t turn out to be the case.

This first series follows Maddie James, a returnee to her home Daybreak Island, off the New England coast,…

An open letter to fanfic readers

Do not leave criticism in fanfic comments. Even if it’s constructive. Even if you’re “just being honest.” This is not traditional publishing, and you should not treat fic in the same way you treat traditionally published works. AO3 comments are not Amazon reviews.

If you want to offer the author criticism, please follow the steps below:

Contact the author to see if they even want your criticism (their vision and intention might be different than yours; this isn’t for-profit publishing, so there’s a chance the author has no desire to make their fic anything than what THEY want it to be. Moreover, unless you’re some kind of literary genius, it’s possible that they might not give a fuck about your opinion)

If they do, provide it in a private forum so that they have the opportunity to accept or reject your criticism outside the public grounds of AO3 comments (what I mean is: CRITICISM IN COMMENTS IS FUCKING HUMILIATING)

Do not be offended if they don’t accept your criticism

Thank them for their time and for listening to you speak your peace

Some additional notes:

Do not leave negative criticism/hate/wank on a WIP (or, see above: ever). Some people are enjoying the story and negativity might (will) make the author fall out of love with what they’re writing such that they don’t want to finish it. Also, you owe it to the author, who is writing FOR FREE, to hear them out to the end of their story in case they end up fixing what you were criticising. 

Do not leave a comment telling the author why you stopped reading the fic. The author isn’t going to fix it and it’s just going to make them sad and feel shitty. Seriously, these types of comments are everywhere and they help NO ONE.

If you read something in a fic you don’t like, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST STOP READING IT. Please don’t let yourself believe that the way you see fic is the way fic ought to be. Everyone likes different things. It’s okay to exit silently. It’s the polite thing to do. 

Do not point out OOC. Ever. Period. End of story. Interpretation is the entire point of fanfic. If you don’t like someone’s interpretation, DO NOT READ IT. You’re not the IC Police.

Avoid backhanded compliments. Please don’t start a comment with, “To be honest I hated this at first, but…” or anything similar. If there is an insult in your comment that is turned positive somehow, it is still an insult, and it is still hurtful.

Please please please, I am begging you, readers of fanfic, to take into consideration that fanfic authors are not celebrities, even if you think they’re super popular and amazing writers and you get hearts in your eyes when they acknowledge you. If you cut them, they will bleed. If you talk to them, they will listen. If you tell them they suck, they will believe you.

Be kind to fanfic authors. They do what they do because they love to do it. Don’t take that away from them by leaving tactless or rude comments.

It’s the time of the year again when this post from 2015 needs a reblog.

AO3 comments are not Amazon reviews!

[keita52]

Also, please don’t whine and complain about how long it’s taking to write the next chapter. We don’t make money from this. We have other things in our lives that often take priority over fanfiction, and for some of us, having a great demand for the next chapter puts the pressure on and makes it harder to write.
