I think more people would be turned off by the fact that she constantly reviews others' stories for no other reason than to enforce her own OPINIONS as if they were fact [[WallBanger(i.e. insulting people for capitalizing the names of Pokemon)]], flaming anyone who even slightly disagrees with her (quite literally, she often tells people who disagree with her that she wants to see them burn), and just trolling in general. And she does this on a LOT of fics. Even on quality stories. This tends to backfire, as most reviews on her own stories tend to be retaliatory flames. It's like what would happen if Uwe Boll finally put out a good movie. It could be the best movie ever, but he's put out so much crap, and been so arrogant towards pretty much everyone over the years, that no one would actually care how good it was. She's not a bad author, but she IS a bad person, and that tends to turn people off even more than the quality of the work.

Oh, TvTropes rec page, never stop being so awesomely hilarious.

(Also, I'd like to point to this as Exhibit #45678 of why I tune out people saying I should be nicer. Telling people not to capitalize pokemon is insulting them!)

Just look at it! They're saying I'm evil for having opinions, insulting people by telling them not to capitalize pikachu, and flaming people by telling them how to write dialogue. It's so beautifully over the top, it's like a little summary of all the insanity I get.

Then they go on to admit my writing is good. Even people who hate me think my writing is good! People who like me might be lying to spare my feelings, but people who hate me? I think not.

People of neutral bias might actually believe them, though, which spreads more grammar ignorance/stupidity, which is counterproductive to all of your endevours on FFN.

Can't it get preserved as the perfect example of exactly what the person they replied to was talking about? The rec pages allow more chatter.
