Welcome to River of Dreams, the ficlog of Refe which is hardly ever updated because she doesn't write so much anymore. If you want to see her works, you better prod her and poke her with a stick because she won't get into action. Either that or you can just go to her mainlog.

And visit these lovely people because they write so freaking well and she can't compare:

Les. Ekai. Maia. Meemee. Lady Harle. Melina.

^__^ And a special plug to Autumn's Bounty, Melina's lovely blog series. :)

Okay, I have kept this bottled up until now. You and you probably know who I’m talking about.

Take this: A girl walks up to you and asks you to beta/help her with her fic. You read it [god-awfully written… bad! grammar, equally bad! English and very bad!! prose] and tell her that it should be this way and not that way, explaining the itty bitty facts about stories to her.

After that, she whines. She whines about being a newbie to English and that she doesn’t know much grammar [and she’s three years older than you]. She whines about ‘Am I not good enough???’ and ‘Do my stories suck???’. She whines and whines until she brings you to the edge.

Then she leaves, fuming. The next day, she comes back, again asking you to help her. You, being the very good [if you ever are] person, help her. She asks you for a title. You offer her titles and she rejects them all. Then, it turns out that she actually had a title for that certain fic after all.

You leave her alone for a while. Then, next, next day, she comes back in tears because someone has supposedly flamed her. You looked at the ‘flames’ and saw that it was criticism. You told her. She doesn’t listen and still says they’re flames. You give up. She comes up to you, still whining about the ‘flames’. You tell her this and that again [that she has to be OPEN-MINDED]. She doesn’t listen to you [and tells you that she has decided to be close-minded ever since her ??th birthday (which is stupid)]. Leaves.

Few hours later, she comes back. She makes you beta another god-preserve-us fic. You finally crack and tell her frankly that it danced around in a freaky manner, telling us all that it ‘S-U-C-K-E-D’. She looks at you, saying, “You’re really honest, aren’t you?”. You stare and get awed at her stupidity.

You offer her advice and even recommend fics to her so that she can see some way to improve. She says she doesn’t have time to read them. You stare again and get awed at her stupidity [well, think about it, she has the time to write, no time to read]. It turns out that she reads Sweet Valley. Okay, that’s not included. *sigh*

Annoying little facts that Refe has finally gone crazy over:

1. Her stories always have that annoying little Sakura-named character.
2. Her stories are always love stories, concerning Sakura.
3. Her stories suck.
4. Her stories are repetitions of all her other stories.
5. Her stories have no originality.
6. Her stories are written like crap because they are crap.
7. It is not a question of being close-minded or not, she’s plain stupid.
8. She’s immature.
9. I’m twelve, she’s three years older than me physically. Mentally, I’m sixteen and she’s nine.
10. She is downright annoying.

Okay, I think I’m being a little too harsh about it. But it really is true. *sigh* Ate Mai has even provided her with 101 solutions to her problem and the ingrate gave her a dose of whining at every solution.
