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*)

Getting comments after 15 years is kind of cool though! I reckon it was a compliment, just not delivered very smoothly *g* I reckon "your dialogue isn't bad" actually means "your dialogue is bloody brilliant" *nods* And the "practice makes perfect" bit shows he/she wants you to write more! I've had a number of "that was quite good" and "I quite liked this" comments and first off I thought oh steady on, don't strain yourself trying to be nice (heh) but maybe it's a language thing? Haha, I think I must have got out of bed on the right side for a change *G*

clearly I need to be charitable and take your glass half full approach. *g*
