Reviews for Hard To Breathe

    I don't consider myself a "Real Authur" or a "Genius" but I do believe that constructive critcism can be delivered in a polite, courteous manner.
    Personally I have no problems with this fiction, it's not the kind I usually chose to read (Death Fics, Suicide Fics, Darren has anorexia/bulimia etc). People believe that because we chose Slash as our writing of choice then all our stories should be light and fluffy devoid of opinion and reality. When people denounce fics that contain S&M, rape etc they fail to mention the erotic writings of Anne Rice or Ben Elliot who get paid to do this. When written with the right amount of talent a wonderful story can be created and it's darker contents become part of the reason for it's success. I have often joked that Slash writers are bitter, failed writers who hang on to this fandom to publish already written fics, change their leads to same sex and throw in a love scene all in an attempt to continue writing. In some cases I think this describes myself. I discovered a Slash archive a year ago and after years of ceased writing I was inspired to do so again. Sometimes using stories I had in my head but replacing characters with famous people. This has many uses-The reader comes to the story already knowing the leads, caring for them, loving them and rooting for them. One of the reasons this story has struck such a nerve. It's dark, well written and intriging but it involves the mental collapse of someone we care about so it's final climax is all the more shocking. I personally think elements like this create a level original stories can't possibly reach. If this was about people you didn't know would this reaction have happened? The defination of art is something that causes a reaction-good or bad. I think Daz Wolf has achieved Art.

    All I can say is that there is a reason why I put such heavy warnings and labels on my fics, and it's your own fault if you missed the part where I mentioned how 'dark' and 'bitter' my writing is. Somehow I get the feeling that I am being stereotyped by someone who doesn't know me. Yes, I am a genius, and any number of people can testify to that on many levels. I don't follow the crowd, I don't see life as normality, and I would hope that I never do. You say that I'm disturbed, but you have no idea. Just call it ground breaking, smashing the mold, because that is why I am here.

    I just wanted to say that I dont know what that Kathy (insert expletive here) was talking about. I consider myself to be a "real author" and i thought your work was dark, intelligent, and overall very well written. Props to you!

    This is disturbing and so is the mind of who wrote it. What the f*ck were you thinking? Answer: Nothing Writing usually takes the mind of a genious. This is one example e yoe you have just proven that theory wrong and disgraced the rest of us Authors. From a real Author to a wannabe, thanks for minimalizing our profession.
