So, I posted Seduction up on the Pit and I got a review that says, "That's So Mean". I decided to write her a note saying why I decided to write it the way I did. I indicated that I found Edward's behavior inappropriate and dangerous among other things.
She replied to me thusly:
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it as a flame or anything, only that TO ME it was a mean, because, well, I guess I'm just a romantic and personally I would be kind of flattered if someone liked me enough to sneak into my room and watch me sleep. And in Midnight Sun he admits to himself that he's being a bit creepy by 'stalking' her, but at the same time justifies it by telling himself that he has to be there to protect her because he loves her and if he wasn't there her bad luck would get her killed.
This is my reply:
I never in anyway thought it was a flame!
Please. I just wanted to show you WHY I wrote it as I did because you thought it was mean.
//I guess I'm just a romantic and personally I would be kind of flattered if someone liked me enough to sneak into my room and watch me sleep.//
Are you really sure about that though? It's the sort of behavior that could get him arrested first of all. Second, if he feels it's okay to sneak into your room, what else would he feel it's okay to do. What if it wasn't Edward sneaking into Bella's room but Mike? Would that still be romantic?
//And in Midnight Sun he admits to himself that he's being a bit creepy by 'stalking' her, but at the same time justifies it by telling himself that he has to be there to protect her because he loves her and if he wasn't there her bad luck would get her killed.//
How exactly is she going to get killed by sleeping? No one's going to come into her room (beyond Edward) to try and kill her. The idea is utterly ridiculous. This is not justification, it's merely an excuse to indulge in inappropriate behavior.
Again, I am not saying you are wrong but merely showing my POV.
On an amusing note, several people have thought that this one shot means more to come. I've gotten a few reviews asking for the next installment and one person telling me if I want more reviews I have to update regularly. =D
