So.

LovelyTentacles continues the trend of Homestuck writers being not fucking insane. Yay! But unfortunately, commenting on the fucking insane has apparently summoned them. Out of the aether.

What in God's name is wrong with you? You come onto this site which is
supposed to be for people to write fanfictions and to read and just generally
enjoy the stories.

So what gives you the right to suddenly come and insult every Tom, Joe and
Harry that makes one little spelling mistake? And i've figured out why you
don't have any. Because half of your stories are f*ucking 500 words long.

This website is not meant to discourage people from ever writing again, it is
designed to give new writers a chance at writing for something they like.

If you don't like it then i don't know why you even deserve to be on this
website, people like you disgust me.

For the record? Didn't even review this nutjob.

Shortly afterward I get into an exchange with someone else.

Hello.
I believe we've argued before.
Now, I have one question, and I don't want any bitter remarks. I want complete honesty, because I'm being honest.

Why are you so cold? You've hurt me with your reviews, you've hurt my friends, and you've hurt God knows who else. But, I have a question: Why? What satisfaction does it give you to insult people who are trying to write likable stories? I mean, with the one review you left on one of my stories, I had serious thoughts of deleting it. And, when my friend Msmes defended us innocent authors on the "Complain about Farla" forum, which is very misleading, you lashed out at her fiercly. Does it make you happy to make others unhappy? Why do you do this, Farla? Why do you try to enforce your own rules of writing on everybody else? You know, there are many different opinions in this world, and lots of people won't agree with someone else's. You can't make everyone write in your way, because if we did, this website would be dull and bleak with no enjoyment. Everyone has their own style, and it's not fair at all for you to enforce your rules with cruel reviews.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you'll respond.

Farla

Are you seriously throwing a fit about a story you didn't even bother spellchecking that I reviewed months ago? Seriously?

I could have reported your story for breaking site rules and gotten it deleted. Stop whining.

Kballkdball

For your information, I DID spellcheck. At least three times. And, I just want to know in general why you say the things you do. It's like you have an insult for every occasion.

They spellchecked at least three times, folks. I would snark but seriously, how do you mock this. What is left.

Both profiles are absolute works of art. TomNumbersNumbersNumbers makes a fine showing in the oh my god who let you on the site does your mom know category:

Favourite movies:Inception, The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Knight, Source Code, Alot of disney movies (although they're really dark nowadays)

Age: 16

Birthday: 10th March 1995

Nature (or whatever you would call it): I have a massive imagination (not boasting, trust me.) that is not fulfilled easily, i wrote some stupid stuff 3 years ago that you will probably find below unless i delete them and don't update this. I love Alternate Universe, so any kind of different lands that can be describe satisfactorily is ok by me. I have a condition known as Aspergas Syndrome (aspie to some).

At some point i MIGHT actually write something but for now i will just continue reading and predicting the endings to TV programs such as Doctor Who and predicting movies based on the trailers (email me to hear what i told my friends about source code before we watched it heheh), also i am working with a friend to produce a manga so if anyone can generate names for random stuff email/pm/whatever you call it me and i will send you the idea for you to add to a list of growing possible names that are probably not going to be used.

I really wish i could beta read for people but obviously i am not good with filling out forms due to Aspergas, however i suppose if you email me the stuff i can read it, however i only take Game genre stuff with all ratings so yeah...

And im not even sure if you read to this part so im puting it in bold, underline AND italics (cool right?). I really hate flames and you have my 100% guarentee i do not flame your story and i hope you dont flame my - eventually to come - stories. Thank you

MY FANFICTIONS

Yes i finally have one up, which took a while. Anyway here are the details

Always coming in Silver

This is Self insertion, about a trainer named Tom who has found out that his old friend Gold is returning to Johto after having minimal contact with Tom over the past 3 years, when Gold arrives Tom is finally encouraged to leave New Bark Town and start his own adventure.

Adventure - Rated T for safety - Updates may vary on the amount of reviews I recieve - other info: Everyone starts thier writing somewhere, this just happens to be mine. Enjoy!

I challenge you to find anything in the above that isn't hilarious. Aspergas makes me wonder if this is actually some sort of extremely devoted trolling attempt.

Kball attempts to hide her own crazy under a boring copypasta list that eats up half her profile, but who doesn't automatically scroll by those these days? And then we get into the awesome, as she takes the cake in seriously just move on already this is weird:

Rant: Farla.

Okay, right here is where I'm going to voice my opinion about Farla. If you agree, yay for you. If you don't and you worship her and her criticism, then screw you.

Now, I've only got one review form Farla, and that review sparked my hatred. Do you want to know why?

It was one of my first reviews. It affected my story-updating. It's become rather slow, as compared to "Nattie's Journey", its sequel, which is heading into twenty chapters. Farla's review really hurt me.

Now, I insult people a lot, but I'm going to use a word I don't use often to describe people: Farla is a bitch. And, urabandictionary.com actually calls her a "Grammer Nazi" in its definition.

If you want to read Farla's review, then here it is:

"[Kball: Hello! I'm finally writing a story with one of my most hyper, bubbly, slightly annoying OCs of them all: Natalie Freaking Oak. Seriously. She says THAT's her middle name. ]

Going to go out on a limb here and guess sue.

Opening your story with a character waking up for the day is generic and horribly, horribly overdone, and to be perfectly honest it's so incredibly dull and boring a start that even if I hadn't seen it, very literally here, hundreds upon hundreds of times before, I would still tell you you should have started at some other, interesting point.

You wouldn't capitalize animal or mouse or dragon, so you shouldn't capitalize words like pokemon or pikachu or charizard. The only time you should capitalize it is if you're using it as the pokemon's name, ie, Ash's pikachu is called Pikachu. This is because you only capitalize when it's a proper noun, which are the names of places or things. Similar reasoning should be applied to any other words you're thinking of capitalizing, like telephone or trainer. Or professor.

Dialogue is written as "Hello," he said or "Hello!" he said, never "Hello." He said or "Hello." he said or "Hello," He said or "Hello" he said. The only exception to this is if the next sentence doesn't contain a speech verb, in which case it's written as "Hello." He grinned, never "Hello," he grinned or "Hello," He grinned. Note that something isn't a speech verb just because it's a sound you make with your mouth, so generally stuff like laughed or giggled is in the second category. Furthermore, if you're breaking up two complete sentences it's "Hi," he said. "This is it." not "Hi," he said, "this is it." or "Hi," he said "this is it." And if you're breaking up a sentence in the middle, it's "Hi. This," he said, "is it." If there's no speech verb in the break, you use a dash, like "Hi. This - " He looked around. "- is it."

Learn to write actual scene transitions.

[porbably ]

And how to hit spellcheck.

So yeah, nothing has happened. Start your story when your story actually starts."

Is that not hurtful? Sure, the first chapter needs work. I'm fully aware of that. I'm working on that. Actually, I was before she posted that, but now I'm not going to, just to piss Farla off. Eat that, Farla!

Now, I know I may sound spiteful. But, that's merely because Farla has not only hurt me, but many others. One of her little "associates" actually convinced me to delete a story that many people enjoyed, and I'm a little afraid to repost it.

Farla also has hurt some of my close friends. For example, she has badly dissed my good(Actually, scratch that. AWESOME is more like it) friend Msmes when she tried to stick up for the innocent writer of Pokemon stories on this website. I'll put what she told me here(I hope Msmes is okay with this!!):

"I complained about Farla on that forum!!! I wrote something about her being really rude in her reviews, and I think I did something wrong, because it was Farla who responded to me. She said, "There are multiple threads that you should vomit your stupidity in. This is not that thread." I'm really, REALLY mad. All I said was that she was killing creativity! And I also mentioned that I haven't written in the category of Pokemon and that I read one of your reviews, and that was how I heard about her. I mean, how rude can you get! UGH! ;("

Okay, I can handle it when Farla screws with me. But, dear Ms. Farla, if you screw with my friends, I'm taking out a screwdriver. And, she's dissed my good friend Chase(Whose username I can't remember), who from what I know is her nephew! This girl is seriously screwing with the wrong midget.

Well, that's all I have to say on the subject at the moment. Thank you for taking the time to read over my rant on Farla. Thank you, and remember to watch out for the internet demon.

If you join or wish to join the National Alliance Against Farla(NAAF), then do three things:

1) Message Kballkdball telling me or her, whichever is more convenient to where you read this, telling that you joined or wish to join.

2) Copy and paste this onto your profile.

3) Add your username to this list: Kballkdball,

Together, we can live in a world where you don't have to be afraid to check reviews from the fear of Farla trashing your story!

She sure showed me by refusing to fix her crappy story that I'm never going to see again either way! But it's really the bit about her friend that totally makes it. Anyway, she's so upset she's made her own forum for me! A REAL Complain About Farla Forum, even.

In conclusion, oh Pokemon category. I may have adopted Homestuck terms but you're truly the one I love to hate.

No, the second one admits she knew the story had a lot of errors, and the first...well. I really don't see where you get the idea they're trying their best.
