....AHAHAH I HAVE ENEMIES!! >:O
Oct. 18th, 2003 05:51 pmomg..!..!..!!
I...I... I got slammed for a review!! *dies laughing* Oh. My. God...!..!! This is a first. And. Well, it's an old ff.net review of `I Understand' (which sucks a horrendous amount of ass, man, seriously, I'm not kidding about this), and some other reviewer (here) slammed me for it. AHAHAHAHA!!1
Okay, so I was a little harsh, but. Okay, I was really harsh, but it wasn't a flame, it was all like, "okay, what's -up- with this", and since I was like, "okay, some random ff.net person, who cares", I wasn't being as euphemistic as I sometimes am. I said what I thought, as usual, and it's just in this case I thought it needed a -lot- of work-- or thought-- or a beta. One or all of those things. And the other reviewer was like-- "you must not understand the concept of *fan*fiction", ahahaha. Also, "not like everyone has, wants, or needs a Beta reader"(!!!) Okay, so like... was I obnoxious and unconstructive? ...Not that I care (shock! horror!), but. I dunno. I thought maybe possibly it was helpful? I know that whole shtick about not saying anything unless I can say something good (too), but sometimes I get -tired- of that, man. Tired. To hell with it!
I just want to be honest, too (not that I lie with any review, really). I mean, she slammed me for saying things without balancing them and then she says, "you cannot say your fics are any better", not that I -did- say that. And then she's like, "you're going to make a lot of enemies by being so obnoxious".
AHAHAHA I AM OBNOXIOUS AND EBIL, HEAR ME PWOAR!!!11!!1
( ...So, you know, the text of my review for yr questionable convenience. Good? Bad? Obnoxious? ahahahah. )
EDIT - ahahaha, she left me an Author's Note, ehehehe. o_0
~~
I don't mind being ebil, man. PH34R m3!!1 >:O!!
*dies laughing* Was that a flame? No, really? Oh god. I should take it more seriously. I was mean. I was bad. *weeps* Good!Slytherins are... good. Yes. Well, if they're written -well-, ahahahahah.
Goodbye, sweet-reputation. Goodbye. I won't miss you~:))
Also. Why are people always so jumpy? It's just a story. Just because you like it and I don't doesn't mean I suck because I'm wrong. I was just... brusque, but what it's to -you-, kind of. Sigh. Dude, I'm really not that picky, I'm really not. Crying!Draco and I-Can-See-What-A-Great-Boy-You-Are!Harry just PISS ME OFF, okay? Why can't I rant? Why do we only need happy!reviews. WHY GOD WHY?!?! *weeps* I can see how fanfic is necessarily OOC but it's not like there's no way to judge in-characterness because it's all the same, is it? I mean. How can anyone think all fanfic is created equal in that regard? And I was mean, okay, but still!
Okay, this was going to be friends-only, but then, in the Author's Note:
After all, she or he was criticizing MY story MY ideas and MY thoughts. I just couldn’t let that be.
...
All together now.... "ooooooohhhhh." I'm sorry, was I intimating someone's thoughts weren't holy & inviolate? Was I assuming any fiction can be critiqued by an outside standard? Was I exercising my right to free speech? That was not a flame, that was just a negative review, man. `Cause, we all know, FL4M3RS SUX0RS!!!11!1
The thing that actually pisses me off here is the idea that I can't complain because the author can do whatever they want to the characters because it's "fanfiction". And you know what, that's true, except caring about a fic and having it be internally consistent is all well and good and enough if it wasn't fanfiction. :/ Ice Lupus said he knows what irritation is, but no, you don't know what HP-fic-reading irritation is until you've read a bazillion-trillion-gadzillion of them like I have. And well, I -know- when I see something original and that wasn't it. So I ranted. No need to say I don't know what I'm talking about here unless you've read a bazillion-trillion-gadzillion-and-one H/D fics :/ Everyone's entitled to their opinion, no? *grinds teeth*
*sits in corner, muttering to herself*
