The conclusion(?)!
May. 5th, 2013 10:52 amI made fun of them for returning to the review area for their continued tantrum. And apparently they had a lot more issues than it first appears, which I guess explains why "Hm. So why do you think it's hypno?" triggered the initial crazysplosion.
OH NOES NOT YOUR REVIEW COUNT, I COULDN'T POSSIBLY RAISE SOME ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS AND IRRELEVANT STATISTIC ATTACHED TO YOUR STORY
I knew you had an axe to grind when you posted that bullshit review of the story I started, because there is no way anyone with even the intelligence of a chimp could be on this site and write Pokemon fics for 12 years and still tell other writers that capitalizing the names of Pokemon species is a grammatical mistake. Either you're batshit crazy, you've been completely oblivious to every piece of Pokemon media released in all that time, or you're deliberately being an asshole on other people's work. Honestly, given your history on this site I'm beginning to lean towards the latter.
I mean really, what is supposed to be your grand contribution to the world of fanfiction these days? Baiting responses out of people so you can post them out of context on your LiveJournal to boost your comment count? It had nothing to do with you saying my interpretation was wrong that pissed me off, it's that you had the nerve to take a detailed, politely written private message and publish it online on a for-profit site you control without even asking me first. What part of PRIVATE is so confusing? It's not just that what you did is blatant copyright infringement, it's that not publishing other people's private correspondence over the Internet for your own personal gain is generally considered part of being a decent human being. If you have honestly not learned that basic rule of Internet courtesy by now, then clearly those 12 years here have not taught you much.
But hey, maybe I should be cool like you and rewrite the same generic one page POV Pokemon story 50 fucking times since apparently the only thing that matters here is boosting my overall review count. And maybe I should write nothing but pointlessly short chapters on all of my stories (9800 words and 9 chapters long? You must be shitting me) so the people who continually review chapters individually can further boost those delicious statistics with a minimal amount of effort on my part. Rank whoring, that's the ticket to quality work on http://www.fanfiction.net!
Or, you know, I could avoid being on here 20 hours a day to respond to reviews and use that time to finish the story I last updated THREE YEARS AGO instead.
This marking the first and only time people complain I'm too prompt in responding to stuff.
And that seems to be all we'll be getting. I really wish all the FFN wank didn't eventually come back to NaRe, I mean it's cool that people I don't like are seething forever about something but I just wish there was a bit more variety.

Date: 2013-05-07 06:44 am (UTC)Somehow the funniest thing about this to me was the sentence "Giving him a 180 degree personality shift makes about as much fucking sense as Team Rocket joining the Catholic Church." My mind immediately went "Team Rocket joining the Catholic Curch" -> "Catholic Mob" -> Lev?!!

(...Lev is Giovanni's son! Giovanni would totally offer up his tenthborn child if it was the thing to do.)
