I had a PM message on the sister site and I always try and respond to PM's (It's the decent thing to do I suppose, and it's not as if I am swamped with them... LOL). Anyway, here is the reply to my reply....

Remind me again, how much are they paying you to read your story? ;-)
AJ
Funny that you should mention that, as my reply ('The Anya' was the story in question) was as follows...
"Feel perfectly free to finish it off yourself (I look forward to seeing where you take the story), or you could pay my bills therefore allowing me to skip going to that tedious thing called 'work' and concentrate more on writing. Your choice."
You just want me to pull my finger out over Beth... :P
That would be nice, but I think that on what I've read so far, The Anya surpasses Beth.

Or maybe your response could be:
Because I don't write for you.
or
Because I don't write for jerks.
Maybe not the last one. That leads to a pissing contest. I usually ignore those types.
I enjoy the writing, and the praise is admittedly nice, not so sure about having AJ as a groupie though, but it's early days, so we will see how that pans out...
Or a grouper. Something fishy about that ...
Just be careful and don't do it on porpoise. He'll flipper you off.
not so sure about having AJ as a groupie though
AJ has many positives.
He will stay by your side. (Due to his arthritis)
He is skilled at pillow-talk. (He talks to his often)
He comes explosively. (In a cloud of biscuit crumbs)
He will never cheat on you. (Nobody would willingly fuck him)
He is tall, dark and handsome personified. (Up a ladder at night wearing a mask)
Seriously, "AJ" is slang for an AJustable wrench, he refers to his beloved as "spanner eyes" because, well, one look from her and his nuts tighten…
But most importantly, AJ is a true gentleman.

That would be the end of it for me. That read asshat all by itself to me.
Then why even bother to write? Jerk!
I had a reader (on another site) tell me that one of my stories "now sucked" because the character he wanted to see get fucked wasn't getting fucked. They said, "Everyone can agree on that."
He's the only person who's voiced that opinion. But, if everyone did agree on that, my response would still be: The story continues as it continues until the time for that character "to get fucked" is right. Maybe, just maybe, the time will never be right for that to happen because no one but me controls the direction of my stories.
I had another guy outline what direction my story should go. It was quite the comment. (He was way off.)

what direction my story should go
From top (chapter 1) to bottom (whatever the final chapter is, or sometimes the story ends at the end of chapter 1.) At least in English (or American) the story goes from left to right. Often the story is in chronological order. It is rare for the story to start before the main character is born or at least conceived. Usually the story ends before the main character dies. Stories involving residents of the state of Maine may have Maine characters as well as a main character.
North by northwest.
Isn't that one of the Kardashians? ;-)

Actually, it was a Shakespeare reference.

Hamlet
I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is
southerly, I know a hawk from a hand saw.
It finished in a double helix that spiraled from bottom to top on a vertical axis with writing in the major and minor grooves and...and I should have just gone left to right.
what direction my story should go
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

I couldn't get the wings to work.
A friend suggested I go with some kind of an engine. He proposed thermal, but I wanted to go with a hand crank and torsion spring, but after discussing it, it just seemed like a lot of work for a 100-page story.

LOL you just need some magic dust...
Some for the reindeer, some for Santa Claus, a little bit more for Santa Claus, a little bit more for Santa Claus...
I agree on replying to the PM's. That said, that one I wouldn't have touched or gave the canned, "thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy the rest of the book."
Then why even bother to write? Jerk!
Why is he signing off his message as "Jerk" - is it his nickname, or principal hobby?
