Well, I've managed to reconstruct things a bit. Really, my mistake was thinking things weren't all functioning on a two or three degrees of separation system.
So one of the things I found weird was Moony coming out of nowhere, especially because there didn't seem to be any concerted effort to inform random authors and neither did Moony go anywhere with it. But LJ has implemented their guests feature, and while it seems most people opted out (or else I've got a ton of anons - could be either, really) there are still a lot of new names popping in.
awriterofthings, for one. Who's doing a "positive review month" to "combat the negativity spreading through fanfiction.net". Which is a step up from what she (and there's where Moony's name pops up) was apparently doing before, which was following me around and posting Don't pay any attention to Farla's review. She's a troll. She's purposely trying to post 900 negative reviews in the pokemon section before the end of the month and your story unfortunately got in the way. to everyone. (No, I don't know where the 900 bit comes from.)
Anyway, I feel the best summary of her attitude is found in I discovered that some of the stories I was reviewing had more chapters. Unfortunately I don't have time to give long reviews on every chapter of every story. If I really enjoy the story, I will make a note to return to it in the future. But I can't afford to waste all my energy on one author when there are others out there who need positive reinforcement too.
And yes, they did manage only three days worth. Really, people, would it kill you to have some work ethic?
