Disappointment

My Advent calendar was doing reasonably well on SoA, at least given the average of comments I tend to get there: at least 2 reviews per chapter. Until Chapter 18, that is. No-one of the 88 people who supposedly read it found it good enough to say something encouraging. That's hard. It isn't an easy series to write, but until now at least a few people seemed to appreciate it.

On FF.Net, someone mentioned that they had the same OC as I, wondering if that was a coincidence. Which means in translation: they suspect that I've stolen Elulindo from them. I never read a word of their writing. It's all very discouraging. And I was so hoping that I might pull through the stupid calendar. I've written 20 chapters already. But by this sort of reaction - and the lack of it - I'm not sure I'll bother to actually finish it.

Between holiday travels and H3, reviewers seem to have, temporarily at least, wandered off. They'll likely catch up with you when things quiet down.

I hope so. What is H3, by the way?
It is good to hear from you again.

Have you already seen it?

No. And after what I've read and heard of it, I'm seriously considering not to.
I mean, my expectations were low enough to begin with, but I could actually tolerate the first film. The second one was utter shit. And it seems the third one is even worse. So I'm not sure I should waste my hard-earned money only to make PJ richer.

Of course, I utterly hated the LOTR films as well, so this is probably not so surprising, coming from me.

I wouldn't recommend it to you.

You are not the only one with that opinion. Eventually I'll go to see it (curiosity killed the cat and all that), but only for Martin Freeman.

Martin Freeman is excellent. :)
