Eh, more introspection.

I was just looking over my last bunch of one-shots and realized that for a lot of them, some or all of the reviewers totally missed the point. Okay, I can actually see the (stupid) reasoning for Hatred, that's just militant shipping in action. But there's also Knowledge, where even the couple people who figured out the pokemon was dead either thought the girl had made a mistake (totally not the point) or tried her best, or something; Strife of Mere Immortals, where I don't think anyone got it and about half of them seemed to think one of the two was good, plus they seemed to miss the bit about twins, as in, same-species; and Absolution, where people actually argued against the point as if I believed it, and I don't know if anyone got that the absol was talking about a causal, karmic sense of suffering, which was why there was no point in saying sorry. And then there's the whole thing with The One Who Moved with most of the reviewers thinking it's a metapod for some reason, despite the poochyena.

So...are my stories too hard to follow? Are my reviewers just not paying attention? Do I really need ending author notes explaining the situation?
