most common comment i get on things i write is that theyre overwhelming to read but the person enjoyed them
which like... okay i guess? u didnt have to tell me the first part but thanks
#why do u think i would want to know that#is it supposed to be a compliment? it doesnt feel like one#it doesnt feel like someone saying 'cried like a baby. love this thx'#it feels like someone saying 'this was deeply unpleasant to read but i liked it anyway'#so more of a.. backhanded compliment sort of deal#like im TRYING to evoke some kind of feeling in the reader but 'overstimulation' is never the feeling im going for so yknow#thats not a success 2 me#except insofar i guess as it occasionally means i effectively conveyed a character's overwhelm such that it bled in2 the reader#still is a weird comment to get. i never get used to it
