Well, sometimes putting yourself in the story can hurt the story itself. You don't want to make the fic a Mary Sue. But making Bono as Bono as possible is a great goal. It's hard to know how he'd react exactly, because we don't know him, but staying as close as you can with what you know is great.

It is, yes, but I think it needs, uhm, another carriage return. You know what I mean? Like the way you did in your paragraphs when you replied to me, y'know? I think that might make it a bit easier on the eyes. Hmm. I think feck and shite are always safe. Outside of those, Irish swear words...

You might want to consider breaking it up into paragraphs or something, so it'd be easier to read, and I think the Irish "feck" more than "fook". Or, well, certain Irish. There are a few minor punctuation things I'd change but aside from that, I liked this little snippet. Really liked the bit...

You know, I'd be happy to let this go if someone, anyone, would just admit they only want positive comments and no criticism. I would have been happy to point out in detail the things I think could be improved, but I got jumped on before I realized what was even going on. I wish people would...

Kafrun, when I say "really honestly confused", I mean really honestly confused. I really thought there was a punchline or something. Excuse me if my first post seemed "dramatic", as at that point, I still thought it was a spoof. I think from there on I was rather nice to someone who accused me...

Is this drama? I would call it more of a discussion, really. About fanfic and this one in particular. And what better place than this thread? I didn't intend for anything personal to be said, and was trying to stay on topic. Apologies if this is considered drama.

It's funny to me how you keep ignoring my legitmate replies to you and skipping over to whatever red herring sort of argument you want to start. I didn't and still don't think I was being rude, merely trying to tell you what I think is amiss and I've got people telling me I'm being mean. I...

I don't think I've been rude. I legitimately thought it was a spoof and once you'd told me it wasn't, I told you why I'd thought it had been. But you never really acknowledged my reasons on that. You were the one who accused me of having a reading disability after the first reply. And I don't...

Agreed, though I'm not sure how Bono would feel if he saw it. Keep in mind, this thread is open to the public. I guess I was mistaken in thinking that authors generally seek to improve. I'll have to remember that concrit isn't welcome here.

Well, I got the thirteen year old girl thing out of the fact that that's what he sounded like in the fic. He giggled more than I do. And slightly related to that, he had the thickest and most bizarre brogue I've ever heard/seen. This is only my second post under this name, but believe me, I...

Wait, wait. You were joking, right? I mean... Mary Sue fic? When has Bono ever said "me darlin'"? And is Bono a thirteen year old girl? "He kissed me like he never had before. This time it was for good. It was the kissed that sealed the deal. We would be together always." Weh? I'm really...

So, I've never posted here because I've never seen a cause to before. But this... the way you're behaving is just atrocious. I would be ashamed and embarrassed to publically admit, on the day we find out one of their family members is in such a worrisome condition that they need to postpone tour...
