I feel cheery again

Hey look it's DarkPersian's fanfic again.

I was curious what the third version would look like - had DP decided a full rewrite was in fact necessary? Reading on, the answer appears to be along the lines of "Hell no! I's awesome."

I have to give credit to the forumgoers for steadily jumping on the sueishness, though. I'm impressed enough by the magnitude and overall articulativeness to overlook the "I know she's totally not a sue, of course, but it maybe looks kinda slightly like one here by accident I'm sure" phrasing some of them used, and even the "LOL Lisa's unrealistic and frankly bizarre obsession with math is so funny and realistic!" bit. (Thank god Dragonfree took that part on, though.) The reviews just go and go and go! Fight sueishness, forum posters I mostly don't recognize! Fight!

Honestly, it makes me tempted to go play there. But I don't have a new sockpuppet fanfic ready... (I'd go as somebody else and post my existing fanfic, but I sense that wouldn't work for more than five seconds.)

(And when is Bleachmonster Alchemist updating? Dammit I wanna see the fireworks already!)

In my experience, reviewers with notorious 'Cred' tend to attract other reviewers to a thread. So *you* don't even have to necessaryily give a gushy rveiew. If you (or I for that matter) just posted, people would come in curious as to whether or not TEH DRAMAZ ensued, and the readership would go up.

And that link made my day.

Good point. Since that's something I do myself, I really should have considered that.

(So, in that case...probably, nobody notorious for drama should review right now, because rubberneckers are a vital part of the later fireworky drama, and if they see boring comments from the person in the thread, they won't check it out the next time.)
