If You Don't Like What I Have To Say, Don't Freaking Read This

1. Lack of reviews but plenty of hits: This kind of thing could lead a author to think that their story is not being read or taken seriously. We sometimes need acknowledgement for us bringing our 'fantasies' to you. We don't do it just to please ourselves, but to please others as well and it does take time, practice and effort to write a good story so people other than ourselves can enjoy it. Receiving no feedback makes all that effor appear to be in vain.

2. Critique from non-writers or just plain 'shit-writers': I've had novices going off on me for not updating or for writing something they didn't like in a fic. Face it, what really counts in a fanfic is: IC, good plot, grammar, and writing style. NOT the pairing choice, or the chain of events transcuring. In the end, the WRITER decides, so criticizing someone for choosing a pairing you don't like or making something like a natural disaster or car accident occur happen in the fic, makes you look like a whiny little bitch that doesn't understand this concept and FACT. As for writer's block, we get them all the time and its not because we want to. If we start a new fic in order to refresh ourselves and not forget how to deliver a good story in spite of feeling dry on another pairing or plot, flaming the writer, will just get you reported and flamed right back because it just proves how ignorant you are when it comes to writing a long-term fic.

3. Complaining about sex in a 'smut-plot' specially when the fic is rated-M: Sweetiepie, not EVERYBODY thinks like you. There's few virgins, sex-hating prudes out there but when a fic is rated M, has 'sexual content' on a summary and its said in the A/N that its a 'smut-plot' complaining about a 'clean fic' makes you sound like a clit-less clueless wonder. I've even gotten shit like this on adultsites, which is funny considering that these sites are full of PWP and my fics at least have plotlines and backstories to them.

4. Grammar Nazi's who obviously can't spell worth a shit: A couple of years back I had some brat telling me how to use proper grammar and when I checked her profile all she had was ONE drabble that had a ton of mispellings. Jealous much?

5. Flammers: If it isn't a constructive criticism, these assholes could just go eat shit and fuck themselves up the ass with a spiked metal bat for all I care. Most of the time they're just jealous at all the attention a fic is getting (oftentimes other writers giving flaming reviews incognito. It's happened to me before.) or just need to go off on somebody. I've been flamed for stupid shit before, sometimes shit that didn't even have anything to do with my fic (leading me to think that the flamer didn't really read it and just 'popped' in to flame something randomnly) or they said something that just had them look downright retarded.

Do us ALL a favor and go kill yourselves. We don't give a shit that your life is worthless, so don't waste the space for actual valuable readers/friends/reviewers by writing petty bullshit that speaks of how uncreative and pathetic you are.

I have a pretty good idea on who this might be and being someone that is writting a fic of the same concept of the T section that has only gotten 2 reviews for being three chapters long, I think she's just jealous. (makes me smile) Salvation has 21 chapters, 51 reviews in AFF (72 FIVE star rates) and 42 more reviews here. For being only 21 chapters, it definitely has more reviews than other Ichi/Tats per chapter ratio. I guess its because I suck as a writer! Teheee! GRAND TOTAL! 94 Reviews (at least 2 FIVE STAR rates count as a 'blind positive review' so devide 72 by half and do the math.) Also considering that the censored version in FFN of Salvation was actually uploaded in its entirety (8 chapters all at once... 2 to three uploads) getting 42 reviews is pretty good and displays a great deal of respect from other fellow readers and writers.

I DO count all reviews together, you know. The Solitary Twin, 14 reviews in MMorg, 37 reviews in FFN (despite me uploading the first 10 chapters all at once as well. WHATDOYAKNOW? I'm loved!), 26 reviews in AFF (believe me, getting one review at that site is like getting a hundred. Its very rare for people to review there!) and 44 FIVE star rates for only being 13 chapters long... And guess what, one of my reviews in MMorg is from someone that didn't like the yaoi in it despite me warning about it continously. My response to her complaint was a very juicy YAOI lemon between very loving hentai twin boys. She never replied back. =)

Then I uploaded ONLY ONE chapter as an excerpt of Reflection and well as you can see... I dunno whose the sore loser anymore, honestly. I'm not saying this to be arrogant, but seeing the stats and number of people that read my stories daily I think I'm a pretty 'okay' writer. I'm no Anne Rice or Stephen King, but I do have people that do enjoy my writing and I'm happy to please them for FREE. I don't do it for myself, I do it to make other people happy, have a laugh, a cry or make them learn something insightful. If flamers missed that, then *shrugs* I guess they need to go back to school to learn how to read.

Note most flamers are shitfic writers themselves, or writers that have gotten tons of reviews and have gotten full of themselves, people that just had a very bad day, or people that had the same as idea as you and can't stand to see you doing well with it BEFORE them. This girl obviously tried to emulate something dramatic in her own Ichi/Tat and it only came out rather childish, undescriptive and occ. I'm not even going to review her because I know that she desperately wants to be reviewed and if I just tell her that, she'll say I'm flaming instead of giving her some contrit.

I hope that whatever problems you're are having get resolved. Remember, flamers are just losers that have nothing else better to do with themselves, so don't stop your writing before of someone saying you suck because from what I saw in your story, having 122 positive reviews with good contrit, and only one little flame really speaks highly of your ability as a writer. I've read some of it and am now in the process of reviewing it myself. AND YOU BETTER NOT STOP WRITING IT! I actually really like your story!
