Re: Holding a story hostage?
Sorry if I seemed mad, that's not it at all! I mostly wanted to be sure I clarified the matter, since you seemed to take my personal, third-party clumsiness for an authorial demand for feedback, and to take offense at this presumed demand.
Ascribe the ineptness of expression to me, not to the story's author, I guess is mostly what I'm saying.
And ascribe the assumed eagerness for feedback to me, if you truly do think the desire (or need) for feedback that reprehensible.
Bloodcult of Freud was content simply to stop writing, after all. I, me Terri, am the one who stirred the waters here, the one who implied that increased feedback on this story might inspire the author to continue writing.
Thanks for your response.
