NO THERE WILL NOT BE

[xparrot]

NO, I'm terribly sorry, but I will not be updating What Doesn't Kill You. That would be because the story is FINISHED. That would be why I am calling it a One Shot. That would be why it says END at the end.

...excuse me, I've just never gotten a serial reviewer like this before. They've left an anonymous review every 4 or 5 days for the past month asking if this fic will be continued, apparently wanting an answer. Without providing an email address or any other way for me to reach them so I can tell them it will not be; I tried leaving an answer in the reviews, but the next review I got after that was them again. Asking whether I would be updating. *tears out hair*

I'm flattered they liked the story that much, I am, but it's getting awfully frustrating...

*patpat* There, there. It's going to be okay. They can't keep this up forever. Um. Can they? ^^;; (Honestly, I worry! It's kind of creepy and obsessed, and that's coming from me.)

*hugs*

I might not mind QUITE as much if the last couple reviews have started really asking for an answer - "Um are you gonna continue with this story.If your not
please let us know.thankyou" HOW am I supposed to let you know? ff.net doesn't allow me to post a second chapter...I've tried reuploading the story with an opening explaining all this, but I kinda doubt they're reading anything...ARRRGH.

--and on top of that I'm coming down with a cold, it feels like *sniffles and mopes miserably*

[chiiae.livejournal.com]

LOL...eh, it gets annoying when readers can't understand the word "End" indicating it's done and over with ^-^ But it's okay...maybe they'll get the picture? hopefully ^^; Specially that one reviewer...

BTW...very nicely written fic~!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

I don't really mind a single request asking for more; I've read stories myself that I'd like to see continued, even if they aren't intended to be. But this kind of spamming gets awfully frustrating ^^;;

and thank, glad you liked it! ^_^

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

But.... are you going to update it? (Just kidding ^_~)

Speaking of which, how dare you get me hooked on Yugioh? You evil, evil writer, you. *Cries* (I need to go review your stuff soon- I enjoyed 'em all- as usual- I've just been too lazy to do it... oops *winces*)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

MWAAHAHAHAHAA *cough* because it's a mega-cute series and I need more fun people to fan over it with me? ^_~ and glad you're liking the stories! ^^ (did you see the Japanese eps I've put up? because you really oughta see Kaiba with his proper voice!)

(btw, been meaning to ask, did you ever figure out who you met that wasn't me at Otakon? apologies if you don't want it brought up, I've just been wondering ^^;)

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

Ok, ok, I GUESS I can fan over it with you... ^_~ I don't have a choice anymore, anyway- you've gotten my thoroughly hooked, now, anyway. *laughs*

You know, I'm glad you mentioned those episodes- I noticed them when you put them up, and I had intended on downloading them, and then I totally forgot. I did after you posted, though, and watched 'em both back to back (hoooooot voice on Kaiba- yummy. Thanks! ^_^) gotta ask if you've got the rest of that battle though, 'cuz I never saw it and now I have to know what happened. O_O (where are you getting your yugioh fix, btw? I need a hit, now... *laughs*)

Oooooh ya, I didn't forget about the dobbleganger at otakon - I'm just a little concerned about asking the person who said it was you, in case it wasn't really them either- if that makes sense. (still feeling dumb, on that...) Wanna know the creepy thing about it? She knew your name- introduced you as such, as well as 'X-Parrot'.

(wow, I suck - sorry that took so long, I still dont have my harddrive back yet, and its kinda sucky to get on the laptop. ^_~)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...She introduced me by name? That is creepy. I'm having a hard time imagining someone pretending to be me, but...I didn't really meet any OP fans. in fact I don't think I met anyone who knew me as X-parrot, everyone I ran into was RL friends...(the thing that makes me wonder is that sherriaisling has never tried to contact me or anything - we're not even friended?)

--hmm, wait. Is it possible it was dethorats? She went with Sherriaisling to Otakon, and I believe she shares my RL name. maybe there was just a little confusion? *does a bit of stalking* ah-hah! that must of been it. Dethorat's Otakon post mentions trouble with a W7 Luffy costume on Saturday. Must have been her!

and now that I know I don't have a crazy stalker going to cons pretending to be me...YGO, yes, I've put up the other two eps of Jou vs Yugi ^^ Find 'em here:
YGO 77
YGO 78
And I will be doing more, I'm posting them on playthedamncard (though flocked, so you'd have to join the comm). (I have the whole series on bootlegs acquired off Ebay, that's how I'm watching and ripping eps ^^)

and oh my yes, Kaiba's voice is TEH SEX *_* totally in love with Tsuda Kenjirou's voice ^^

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, it probably was dethorats- its just weird, because I KNOW she said X-parrot too, in that introduction, or the name never would have clicked, because I don't associate you two -it just never would haf occurred to me. What's also weird (in the funny sort of way) is that I ran into her (dethorats) later in the dealers room, quite randomly- just recognized her company because of that one icon she has. Now, had I seen her face before, when semi-introduced, I would have been able to figure that out at the time; that sadly, did not happen, however. (and I STILL feel dumb, even if it wasn't my bad... oh well- at least its figured out now; no stalkers for you! *laughs*)

Oooooh, thanks for the episodes- know what I'll be watching later today. ^_^ (Ok... I'll have to admit to myself that I'm a fangirl now if I join, but... I'll just have to do that for episodes... Mmmm, Kaiba. *laughs*) As for the ripping and posting of episodes? You SO rock~

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

haf? o_O Have, I meant.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

She's EVIL like that, isn't she! She dragged me kicking and screaming into it...and now I need more...badly!

Oh neeeechan, fiic! We need more fic!

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

*nods* Oh ya, I've got to agree with you there- if only she could user her powers for good... ^_~

I'll definately join the 'more fic!' chant, too... *laughs* (I'm not picky either, yugioh, one piece, getbackers... there's a number of fic I'd happily take right now. ^_^)

....

make sure that you lock your window before you go to sleep tonight.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

--but if they came stalking me in person, at least I could EXPLAIN to them that there's no TBC!! (that's what's frustrating me the most...I have the impression they'd stop if I just could tell them no, but there's no way to tell them!)

[bluepard.livejournal.com]

Turn off anonymous reviews?

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...that would work if I weren't a total pathetic feedback whore. Which I am. I might end up doing it, but it's a last resort (some of my best reviewers have been anons, so...)

[bluepard.livejournal.com]

*patpats* Don't worry, we're all feedback whores. Otherwise we wouldn't post at ff.net at all.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...I think about half my flist doesn't. But I am weak. Weak!!

[hungry-worm.livejournal.com]

*snickers* And that would be the truth. :)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

I won't be stopping any TBCs! honest! I just, er, don't know how long some of them will take... ^^;

[hungry-worm.livejournal.com]

Well, it takes as long as it takes, right? Fanfictions are one of the very few things I´m able to patiently wait for, especially when they´re by good authors *shameless worship*.

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

feedback whores... aren't we all? ^_~

[nenya85.livejournal.com]

Review spam -- it's an interesting concept...

I didn't realize you COULD submit more than one review at a time, because I meant to say that in Safeguard I loved Kaiba's comment that KC was down a vice president (lol).

Yeah I agree re: turning off anon review feature... I hate the thought of missing good reviews. I guess we're all review whores, when it comes down to it...

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

I didn't know you could do more than one review a chapter either, actually...I guess either ff.net's IP address blocks only last a few days, or else they're a student with access to multiple computers? either way, glad you liked that bit - I was fond of it myself ^^

I know some authors who really do write only for themselves, but for me--eh, I probably would keep writing even if no one was reading, but it absolutely makes my day to know that someone is!

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

You can if you do it anonymously from different computers- they're not logging your user name then, but the ip addresses- and if the ip addresses are different, ff.net will never know you're a different person. (Wow, I put WAY too much thought into that...)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's why I guessed they might be a student, students (especially at universities) have access to library computers, friends' computers, etc. But it's also possible ff.net only stores IP addresses for a few days.
