A new low...

I reviewed a new story a few hours ago, Aranel by Vulpix4Life. It's moronic - among other things, the idiot of a writer's giving the rapidash elfish names. (No, seriously: Lessien frowned at those names but suddenly thought of an old elfish name, Aranel. I couldn't imagine stuff this stupid.) And now I look at the reviews and see pokewrighter has made a comment.

don't listen to farla, she thinks too much. Over gramerizing a story like that can make it boring. Maybee someone should tell her that ponyta and rapidash arn't horses, so they might act differantly. altough I have a feeling that you could have combined the this chapter with the one your working on.

Yes. Over gramerizing.

Ah yes, I reviewed the story after you.

::sigh:: He's corrected some things, but left in a good many more.

(And did you find his comment about people who 'hunted down my stories and flamed them' a bit odd? I mean, what's to hunt? If he'd reviewed stories of ours and we were going after him over that then it'd make sense...)

And Zyte (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/448671/)...eh. This is one of the reasons I'm wary about new people giving 'constructive' reviews. It's good to have someone else helping in the matter, but saying stuff like "I like your reason behind the thirteen instead of ten, most people would just say screw it and toss a older character in there without even giving a reason, so good for you for actually explaining." and "You've strayed from the norm, and for that I salute you, keep up the good work." is just making it more likely he'll ignore comments about the plotholes and problems.

Yeah, after her line to the effect of "Go ask TopazSelfInsert cuz she is GOD!!! omgz" I kind of deflated. Even the well-meaning are sub-par. >_
