Because my faith in humanity wasn't low enough

Three days ago - right around midnight, not that it matters, I review a story, Golden Days, Silver Nights by BluKraze. The first chapter involves a note about how they'll take constructive criticism. Interestingly, pretty much every time I've seen that I wind up getting flamed by the author. I give it a review pointing out mistakes and trying to explain myself. I give a lot of suggestions as well as point out he's misusing words and also needs to run a spellcheck.

Today I see it's updated. To put this in perspective, two people have reviewed it, me and VulpixTrainer I check the next chapter.

"Thanks to everyone who reviewed. You guys rock major! On to chapter two now."

So I look.

"The morning dew dripped from the cold pieces of green morning grass, the golden sun hung high above, after just awakening from its long slumper..."

He didn't even spellcheck it and now I'm left wondering why I bothered staying up late to give advice when it would have been more constructive spending a minute reporting him for the spelling errors. Which I still haven't even done.

Oh, and a Me/Tracy crapfic has turned up too. I just flamereviewed it. Which is to say, the story sucks and I didn't try to be nice because I hate the concept. It's called Well, I don't know the name yet! : and it's on an Ali Sketchit's account. Quick, I'll give you three guesses as to what the new character's name is and who she goes after.

The scariest thing? Well, I can't pick one. Is it the completely pointless and plotless story? Is it the summary (This is a story my friend Beefy Baka typed for me. So sweet, and the best romance fic I've read! Read it and review, and I'll tell Kitty how good she is, and who said it!) where she shows us she can't even write her own sue, she has to draft someone else for it? Or is it her profile of horror, containing this gem: I would love it if some of you nice people would like to type me a me/Tracey fic. I would do anything if someone could. Thanks, Kitty (Beefy Baka) she's typing me one, but I'd like a few more. Please AIM if you would do that for me. The shippy name is AtFirstSightShippy (It was love at first sight for us)?

Incidentally, what is it with the pokemon category and making up shipping names for OCs? I mean, you don't see the morons writing Sp/H for their Sparkle/Harry stories because even they aren't dumb enough to think other people are going to flock to their character and start writing new stories about their tru wub.

VulpixTrainer again, eh? Ever notice how many of the users whose handles involve the name "Vulpix" are mindless groupies who would eat any sort of drivel while writing it themselves? Poor Vulpix. What did it do to deserve that shame?

As a side note, why can't the people of the Pokemon fandom just leave Tracey alone? It's bad enough that he got bashed after he "replaced" Brock. Now I see the rabid fangirls who can't help but destroy the small bit of good reputation he had by writing him into badfics in which he's married off to a Sue. That's particularly painful to me simply because I actually like Tracey and believe he doesn't deserve a slow, agonizing character death at the hands of a Mary Sue/self-insertion (which, in the Pokemon fandom, are pretty much the same thing).

Now, as for getting flamed whenever you see a note saying the author accepts concrit, I suspect none of 'em even know what concrit is.

Otherwise, I think my icon pretty much says everything.
