Unoriginality OT, Chapter Nine

[farla]

Posted chapter nine of Unoriginality: OT. It's about an author trying to make a character that's not a sue by following advice I've seen in reviews.

Take that as you will.

Also finally got to work on the next chapter of Ice. It involves violence, because violence is fun, especially when it fucks with preconceived notions. I have part of it typed and all of it written, so, unless something comes up as it so undoubtedly will, I think I'll be done by Sunday.

I know that it was perhaps a joke but still I feel that when someone includes a reference to themselves in a chapter in a complimentary fashion (as someone who is listened to and the main character changes her stuff because of that person)highlights the person pandering to their ego- a disease we all seem to suffer.
The title is reference that the most important thing to people is self-gratification of their own ego.

I will look forward to seeing Ice part 2- as I mentioned before you seem to have some very interesting themes running through it.

Yeah, but no one does listen to me. Catherine Summerstorm is trying to avoid getting a bad review by making a token effort to avoid a few things (something I've actually seen happen a few times when people repost stories), and Raven Moonbeam was following everyone else's advice. Both are just what I actually see happening.
