An (AsYa AND SaHil) Writer's Rant

I am quite upset reading all of these comments on various threads where writers who previously wrote on AsYa are now writing on SaHil. I know I am probably opening up a can of worms here, but it feels like this is getting slightly out of hand.

I would just like to, for one minute (and a few lines), speak on behalf of Juliet (Perfectionist2) and myself.

I honestly don't see the problem on us writing on SaHil too.

Juliet still has Butterflies going on, and Wallbanger. I am still writing In Love and War - those are all AsYa stories.

Unlike Juliet, who has only been watching bits and pieces of QH2 - and that too, only because I nag her to... I am completely invested in QH2, and I don't see a problem in it. For me personally, the story of AsYa is still incomplete and I will watch until their daughter gets them justice.

The fact that I like Sanam and Aahil is an aside.

I have written so much on AsYa and will continue doing so if the negativity of the forum ceases. Unfortunately, I'm not sure when/ if that will happen.

What is most disappointing to me through all of this is, that as a writer, when I first started writing here on the forum... I received so much love and support from readers. (I still do, too so not many complaints for all the love)

Especially praising "the writing". Now it has become clear that except a few loyal readers, most won't read for the writing and imagination, but rather for who the story is based on.

Nevermind, I say. Because Juliet and I do have those loyal readers that are reading everything we write, regardless of who the story is based on.

Now I speak on my behalf. This virtual world has brought me into contact with the most amazing bunches of girls. I say "bunches" because the forum seems to be split into two camps these days, which is sad in and of itself.

Me? I'm Switzerland. I love everyone equally.

I absolutely love my readers... both AsYa and SaHil, and I will continue writing for them.

I get the whole "I feel betrayed" by QH1. I really do. I felt betrayed too and honestly, I didn't watch much after KSG left. I didn't even watch the beginning of QH2 but now I am invested in the show, and I am seriously taken by it.

No one is cheating on AsYa. And I won't be bullied into not writing on SaHil.

We love our readers (That's you. And you and you and you out there)

Please don't break our hearts by saying things like... "You've moved over to the dark side"; "You've forgotten AsYa"; "I love everything you write, but I can't stand SaHil"

At the end of the day... this is television, people. I am married with a kid and I deal with real issues on a daily basis.

This forum brings me happiness and entertainment and I write for the love of writing and because I love AsYa and SaHil. I don't want issues and negativity in my happy virtual world. I have enough to deal with in my actual life.

My bottom line is, read if you want to. Don't read if you don't want to.

It's great when we get feedback, honestly, it is, but the negativity not based on our actual writing is hard for us to deal with.

Especially after we've spent hours thinking up stories, typing them out, perfecting them, and PM'ing over two hundred buddies.

I am not questioning readers' loyalty here... I am saying, cut the writers some slack too.

Hear hear sistah!


It's horrible reading comments that not only single writers out...worst is when writers are stopped from writing stories that they want on characters they want to!


I'm gravely offended by such comments and remarks! For if writing for SaHil is akin to turning to the dark side...then I'm a hypocritical two faced reader.


Coz I read everything. With good writing. And an even better story and concept.


And to accuse writers of betraying certain characters only because they write on others, is not only rude, but very off putting especially by readers like myself. Writers choose to stop writing because of such condescending comments that is so very disheartening! And we readers have to suffer the brunt too.


Some goes as far as to say that we're not loyal and true fans of AsYa just because we also read stuff in SaHil. What even.


If writers love both AsYa AND SaHil...okay maybe love is a strong word...but if they write on both then why question this?

It's like questioning their capability of loving.


Suddenly these writers are not loyal. No more Jedis. No more Dumbdledore's Army.

Anyway. Team Loki rocks too.



Love to all writers and readers.

You said it all Sister. Yes you coerced me into watching that show QH2. Well You and Faru did. FARU you are also to blame for this madness.

Yes I have had my criticism and restraint initially. But I am loving it as of today. I am loving SaHil and it is how I had initially loved AsYa.

And I love what you said Tamara - the story of AsYa is still incomplete and I will watch until their daughter gets them justice.👏 I never considered on those lines.

AsYa will always hold a special place for me. I began writing what ever nonsense for them.

I will still continue writing for Asad.

But I will also write for SaHil. I hate disappointing my AsYa readers. Especially when they think my priorities have changed. But believe me my lovely readers I feel the love. I feel wanted. And I am honored that my readers with go to any lengths or blackmail and threat in a very cute way.

I have to mention I am greedy for love and please don't make me choose. I write for my readers and I am loving my SaHil readers too. I have always had this personal bond with so many of my AsYa readers.

Believe Me People when I say this Loud and Clear - Juliet has some stamina. Juliet can do Asad and Aahil all night taking turns.

I never exhaust. Well mostly I don't.

So don't make me choose, Enjoy the stories for what they are meant to be. And let me have the down time that I seek after a hard long day.😃

Loads Of Love.

Juliet!

Word to your post. Can I just add that I absolutely cannot stand the resentment a few QH1 viewers have for QH2 in this forum. I mean it's totally fine for someone to dislike QH2, but why do they have to constantly bring down actors and characters from QH2 in their posts because of their love and loyalty to QH1?

I like both AsYa and SaHil and even before that I was (and still am) an ArHi fan. And during QH1 times, ArHi fans used to resent AsYa. I just never understood the need for this behaviour LOL.

Anyway, I hope your readers understand your outlook on this issue and try to cooperate with you. :)

I understand what ur going through

awesome post...tamara...

Great post! <3

I seriously feel very sad knowing that so much disharmony still exists in this Forum. I thought that most of it has gone now and those days are over.

Although i haven't read all of yours and Juliet's stories ( read two of yours and one of Juliet), i know that you both are brilliant writers and have written so much on AsYa and have entertained AsYa fans so much. So you both should not get these type of comments from those fans.

May be some of them feel that you are ditching AsYa... but Loving another couple and writing on them doesn't mean ditching AsYa..

And another point is we should always learn to respect others choices and tastes as well.

for an example, even i am an ardent AsYa fan, and the character Asad was my favourite character and QH 1 was an inspiration for me, so much so that i have written countless posts on AsYa and episode reviews etc... and now eventhough i am still watching QH 2, and even liking SaAhil, over all QH 2 doesn't inspire me enough to write about it and so far i haven't written anything on it and these days i am channeling my inspiration on AsYa by writing stories on them which i earlier didn't do... i still love AsYa that much... but does it mean i should go on criticizing each and everything about QH 2 or bash writers who are writing on it just because it doesn't inspire me to write about it?

It shouldn't happen that way..they are writing on it because it inspires them.. so even those who are not watching QH2 ,they should also understand that these writers are writing on QH 2 because it inspires them to write on it and we should respect their choices.. and they haven't stopped writing on AsYa so read what they write on AsYa and keep AsYa alive but at the same time let them write on other things as well and let them entertain others as well.

And Tamara these days i love reading your Rants on QH 2 ( as you know i have commented on few of them).. just be happy and continue with your good work .😃
