I usually dont post emailed comments...too much hassle and it seems a bit braggie, but yours was perfect so I had to share. Glad you enjoyed the piece so much... :)DeniseSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493792372940243204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396056115459934841.post-46743311547340412402015-11-26T18:33:34.009-07:002015-11-26T18:33:34.009-07:00**I was emailed a great comment and have permissio...**I was emailed a great comment and have permission to post it here. <br /><br />FROM: CassieJune on Nov 26/15<br /><br />Hi Denise! I was prowling around your blog the other day and read your "fanfic" post. I wanted to thank you for that. That concept actually makes the tv series much more enjoyable for me. In my experience, fanfic can be very good. It can even enhance my experience of a story I love. But I always expect there to be some problems -- characterizations slightly off or a key plot line interpreted differently -- and I just have to ignore in order to enjoy the fanfic, knowing that I know the "real" story and characters. When I think of the tv show this way, tada, I can enjoy all the beauty and not fash so much about what's missing. Thanks again!!!DeniseSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493792372940243204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396056115459934841.post-89208178284415733432015-05-13T16:05:56.389-06:002015-05-13T16:05:56.389-06:00We seem to differ in opinion on the adaptation and...We seem to differ in opinion on the adaptation and that's okay...it takes all kinds...but I am not sure what you mean by Diana and the cast and crew comment. IF you are referring to my tweets on their Twitter account, then I actually don't care if they read them or not...I am just gaining the exposure of their audience...people like you, for example. I thought that was common knowledge and rather simple concept. People who tweet celebrities rarely are actually READ by the celeb...so really, they tweet the celebs followers. As far as being admin on the largest Outlander forum on FB, if you would have taken the time to read our description, we are a BOOK and show forum and one does not have to love both mediums to be a part of the group...or an admin on it. I have a funny feeling you are puzzled a lot in your life. I mean really...a LOT.<br />PS: and if you stop reading things you dislike...why are you reading my blogs? Maybe you are crazy...your word, not mine.

I was challenged to figure out exactly what it was that made me so unhappy with the series. This has been enlightening. Again, thanks!

And that's ok. Not enjoying it, also ok. Puzzling is why you think the cast and crew and Diana herself are interested in hearing about why you dislike everything about their hard work. Also puzzling: why you want to administrate a fan group for a show you don't like. <br />Personally, when I dislike something, I stop watching/reading etc. I'm crazy like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396056115459934841.post-33736948732039904862015-05-12T19:59:53.395-06:002015-05-12T19:59:53.395-06:00You DID read my blog, right?

I think if everyone liked the same things, life would be dull indeed and one person's 'complaining' is another person's 'expressing an opinion'. And foe the record, I think following the book would be a whole shitload of fun. Otherwise, call it by another title and be honest with fans about its bastardization. Call it Outlander Make Over! *thanks for commenting though...we cannot all think alike. :)DeniseSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493792372940243204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396056115459934841.post-11355928340204964862015-05-12T08:02:51.016-06:002015-05-12T08:02:51.016-06:00WHAT?

So it doesn't follow the book to the tee, what fun would that be? I'm just happy that I get to see it come to life! I wished everyone would just stop complaining!
