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.
