How Rude..

[calanor]

Okay I'll admit I'll read just about anything if the summary catches my eye.. and I've read some really bad stuff.. but there is a story on ff.net.. its only five chapters in.. and the author just the other day threaten to pull it off the net cause she/he was getting enough reviews.. you know holding a story hostage until I get this and that..

I'm like well.. it's a good plot... the writing sucks.. but I'll get past that to read it.. but I'm not gonna review to just to make you write..

well she/he posted a chapter.. and I reviewed.. but I also said.. please do a read through.. there are a few misspelled words.. but this is a good storyline..

I got a snotty response.. an hour later..

I know I have told you before, so I am simply blocking you now. No stupid ass
grammar police welcome, read a novel if you want perfection.

well I checked..(I keep too many emails) and only have a reply back to when she/he was explaining to me her last story... question I brought up..

All I think of is.. HOW RUDE!

Don't wanna start a wank.. all new authors are not perfect.. but lord have mercy.. I keep thinking.. don't ask for reviews.. if you don't want the truth.. I mean we all learn.. and if went to perfect what we are doing..

Lord.. do the Snarry justice..

Yes.. I want to get a pitchfork out.. and just stab!

And when they post another chapter???

yeah I'll read.. but I'll not leave another review.. or even rec it.. hell Nee told me to write my own.. I should.. give the plot a twist of my own.. like I need another WIP..

The whole 'I'm holding this fic hostage until I get X reviews' thing drives me CRAZY. That will actually stop me from leaving reviews.

And srsly, don't whine that you're not getting enough comments when you can't handle people being honest!

drives me crazy I almost don't read them again.. but its like a soap opera.. I gotta know what happens next

But being rude is not good.. even when reviewers make me mad.. I just smile.. and say thanks..

First of all, I have never *ever* heard of an author holding their story "hostage" in order to get more reviews ever. That concept is completely new to me. Wow! How pathetic can you get?!

Second of all, HOW RUDE indeed. What kind of reply is that when you even praised her story? What's wrong with constructive critcism - whether you agree with it or not? I guess the writer must have been 12 - max. And boy, do I ever want to know who it was now! :-P

I think that's what got me.. I praised her story.. but she still got huffy..

I also think she has like five accounts.. under different names.. posting stories.. to me that would be her problem.. posting so many stories.. well five or six under different pennames.. that she/he can't keep up.. or don't give a damn except feed me reviews that I like..

:D

I'm so sarcastic..
