First, I do not need it "beaten into my head" that my story was not the direct influence for this. I realize that. However, the general references that match mine, as well as the fact that my reviews were part of the parody, led to initial shock that caused some not-so-intelligent words to flow from my keyboard. I am thinking more level-headed now and realize most of my comments were stupid, and I can admit that.
Once again, I know my fic was not involved in this matter, but it still stings a bit when a) it matches the genre perfectly, and b) my reviews were part of this whole matter
Second, I am not an expert on animal/Pokemon psychology, so my reviews never touched on that aspect of the story. I basically touch upon the basic technical issues (grammar, description, etc.) and in that respect Lucki was well-written.
Clearly, despite being above n00b status, I am still sorely lacking in both writing and reviewing ability. I am looking to improve in both respects, so I hopefully can redeem myself.
