Reply to comment by Yakassa in [WP] An alien has limited time to learn the difference between a wolf and a dog as a requirement to get a tourist visa for Earth. by RafeHaab
Great story, but you make no mention of either dogs or wolves. Without the context of my prompt, no one would know.

I think the spirit of the sub is about getting inspired to write, not necessarily nailing the prompt.

I would still like to know what kind of dog she couldn't tell apart from a wolf.

It was implied in the first few paragraphs :)

Trying to pass your laziness as "enlightening" for me is not something that looks good on you.

What if you are projecting? You are asking me to use my mental energy when I already gave you what you need.
RafeHaab OP t1_iu4i0qn wrote
You gave me what YOU WANTED, and that's ok. But from there to say it was what I NEED there's a huge jump, a jump that demonstrates that the jumper cannot distinguish his own mind from reality.
Plus you are making such a big deal of a one-line comment that was basically me just wanting more because I loved your writing... and getting offended by it.
Imagine a writer getting so offended because he's so good at it that people want him to continue writing that instead of saying "sorry, no", he goes on a tirade that basically says "I already gave you my mental energy, F.O."
Go away now. Block me if that's what you need to "feel safe", because you don't sound like someone who should be out here on the scary internet where people gasp sometimes like whaqt you wrote so much that they want more; THE GALL those people have! Demanding your "mental energy" to add five more words to a text you willingly wrote!

I apologize it wasn't meant as an insult or anything like that. It's more I wanted you to THINK (just think) of the smallest impact of a situation possible.
Also I don't know you enough to give you exactly what you need but I felt you needed a bread crumb so I gave you the only one I had at the time.
Look at it as I looked over your shoulder while you were putting together a puzzle and you were short pieces so I gave you one I found and while it wasn't your piece it fit so you could easily add other pieces that were yours.
Please hold onto it until you find someone else that needs it cause you will then have need of it.

My little "request" was very clear: I would have liked to know what kind of dog the alien woman inthe story couldn't tell apart from a wolf.
A story where the dog in question is a GSD is very different from a story where it's a chihuahua.

I am so sorry to be honest I'm a bit scattered around so I might be throwing breadcrumbs alittle off.

Calm down, that's not even the writer you're talking to. You're making a huge deal out of this. People on this subreddit have a tendency to assume that by writing a prompt, they are owed the story they expect. It seemed like you were criticizing the story for not being closer to the prompt (which you would have no right to do) and that's why people are mad at you.
RafeHaab OP t1_iu4pca6 wrote
They have no right to get mad at me just because they imagined a situation in their minds.

It's a prompt, not an exam.
RafeHaab OP t1_iu47ieo wrote
So expressing my opinion on a detail I would have liked in his story was somehow interpreted by a bunch of first-worlders as a demand and that's MY fault for some reason.
Way to go, guys. You just outed yourselves.

No one outed anything, good grief. You are being incredibly dramatic. While I agree that fulfilling the prompt to the letter may have been nice this was still a lovely piece of writing. You gave your opinion and other people are entitled to give theirs. That's part of being on the internet!
RafeHaab OP t1_iu5eg8i wrote
Other peopple are entitled to give theirs, sure, but not entitled to get offended that I gave mine and downvote me into the drain.
