Well, then...

Just got an email comment on my second UNCLE slash story, written, oh, about 15 years ago. It included the following gem:

"You have a knack for plot, and your dialogue isn't bad. :) Practice makes perfect, ne?"

I am soooo tempted to send a snarky reply, but think I shall settle for amused silence.

(BTW, I'm not saying the story's a gem. Those early UNCLE stories were a bit rough. But, man, I think my dialogue is better than not bad. *g*)

One does wonder WTF a suchlike person is doing in the middle of Muncle-land. I offer up prayers unto the fic-gods that she's not going to try her hand at NCIS fic -- badfic abounds in that fandom.

Well, if you see a certain sqkiwibird pop up, you might want to run away. I'm just sayin'.

Dunno that I'd read anybody's fic whose handle I couldn't pronounce... *jk*

Seriously, there are BNFs in the LJ NCIS comms that I avoid like the plague, and not because their ship is not my ship or some other such fanwank rot. They're just horrible writers. One cranks out five or six drabblish-length completely OOC Ducky/Gibbs fics a week, to the point where you have to skip through 25 pages of her stuff on the archive (it doesn't help that her initials are AA) should you be interested in the pairing.

If I'm ever in the mood for NCIS fic, I shall consult you on who to avoid. *g*
