omg! give it a rest!
"blah blah blah about some nasty guy going on and on about how HE thinks the story is crap and has no concideration for other peoples feelings blah blah!"
once again, gezz she's only 14! Besides this is fanfiction, not a first class novel!
I have nothing against beta / constructive critosisom, but there is NO NEED to pick on her about every little thing! It is just fan fiction! And then to be so mean about it. Theres just no need.
...id like to see you do better *sticks tough out*

Farla,
Personally, on fanfiction, where things can easily be misunderstood, I go by 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it', and maybe you should do the same. Honestly, I don't want to be rude, but your comments are very offensive!
I mean, this is so easily classified as flaming.
I don't know whether you're just being harsh, giving constructive critism, or actually trying to hurt people. Calling peoples' fanfics pointless, purple prose, or "sentence fragments slapped together at random" isn't something you should do over the internet. Sure, it's great to give your honest opinion (something nobody seems to do anymore) but giving it harshly isn't helping anyone.
What if this author doesn't write anymore stories because of all the bad reviews he/she got? How did you feel when you got your first bad review?
Some people can pass it off as nothing, but most of us can't. That's what's wrong, here. We don't know who this author is. It could be a teenager going through trouble, and using this as a way to vent, a child trying their hand at something new, or an adult, just passing the time. But we don't know.
Would you say this straight-up to someone, if you weren't hiding behind your computer screen? I don't think you would.
See, this, right here, this could all be a misunderstanding, too. You probably wrote this so the author could get better, and I could just be reading it wrong. I'm very sorry if I am, by the way.
But please, next time you review something, try to point out the good things, too. It's just.. nicer.
Thanks for reading this, and you don't have to reply.

ou know, I read your review and I thought it was kinda mean. What was mean?
What you said at the end of your review. Amazingly Awesome Person tried their hardest to write that story, and make it good. If you are just going to say "I'm sick of your story." and that her idea of a good scene in the story is your idea of 'stupid filler', you might as well just not review. Sure, she might be able to take the constructive critism since she's old enough to, but you don't have to be so rude! If you're going to be 'bitchy Farla', then don't be a 'bitchy Farla' when reviewing her stories! I'm saying this because Amazingly Awesome Person worked hard to get good reviews! So, you should kind of feel bad for what you said.

Seriously dude. If you haven't got anything nice to say, shut your yap!
Once again there is NO NEED to be so mean! If you dont like the story, then
shut up! Like I said before there is nothing wrong with helping the author to
improve, but there is no need to FORCE your oppinion in such a way!
Megachile is an awesome writer; and considering english is not his language
his work is great.
Hopefuly you wont hurt any ones feelings like this again. I happen to know
what your saying effects them, because so far I have gotten 2 e-mails from
both authors in regards to you!
Next time, just let it go!
This all culminates at: a forum visit, where Sparky explains it's not just bullying, it's cyber-bullying.(Bold in the original, naturally.)
Seriously dude, do you have a heart?
You don't need to be up-tight and proud about how nobody likes or apreciates your reviews. The users have a right to post their stories without concern about getting abused by YOU.
"Q: But no one else said anything bad!
A: Possibly they liked it. But here's the thing. People generally don't say anything bad regardless."
-thats because those people are nice :) and don't spend their time breaking peoples confidence. Fan Fiction users have a right to post their stories, and nobody needs you trying to stop them. Every one should be proud of their work, but you're making that hard.
And to all those people who have complained about you; think about their words, and don't make them look stupid, `cause in the end, they're the better person. They deseirve to have fun with out your cyber-bullying.
Just drop-it! And don't be so proud about your abuse, `cause nobody wants you reviews, period!
Hilarity ensues, especially since another author shows up to whine that I'm a troll for not writing out the explanation of how he's fucked up dialogue for him personally. I'm so lazy!
Chickens, what do you think?

Date: 2009-12-08 02:57 pm (UTC)I don't much care. I have the entire week off and arguing with them is a lot more fun than some of the other things I could be doing. They're highly entertaining. I'll be reviewing as well, but checking up on their crazy is still a very fun alternative.
Hah, I saw the link to 'this user' and I just knew it'd be you. Ah, politics, there's a reason why I ignore you. *sigh*
