Woes of a fanfiction writer

[candlefungus]

If I read one more review whining about vocabulary (without having read up to chapter 5 and its associated author's notes), I'm going to KILL someone

Umm, yeah, you spelled "pompous" wrong.

Just kidding! XD I'm sorry, just trying to cheer you up. (I'm not very good at doing that.)

*sigh* Hopefully they'll stop bitchin' about your vocab. Be happy, yes?

XD

You know, I really did pull out a dictionary and check the spelling. P-O-M-P-O-U-S. Pompous.

When you get flames about having too good of a vocabulary, take it as a compliment. Seriously.

Apparently, my fics read like an SAT vocab empowerment exercise... :-/

I'VE BECOME COLLEGEBOARD.

Not really. I mean, look at the examples above.

Arrogant. Pompous. Chauvinistic.

A person who hopes to be well-read needs to at least guess at what these words mean, SAT or no. They're used too often in literature and other writing.

Gah! You're taking over the U.S with your Sentence Completion skillz!

BTW, good luck with your SAT results! They're coming out soon, yes?

[candlefungus]

That's what I thought; I never imagined that the words I use are that obscure or esoteric. :-/

I SHOULD HAVE CANCELLED THE SCORES.

UGHHHH...

SAT= teh suck.
