So, back in April 2017 I got a performative outrage troll who left nasty comments on nine out of ten chapters of "Tides". In February 2018 the same anon left a nasty comment on "Rituals"Today the anon returned and, either having forgotten that they'd previously commented on Rituals or frustrated at my lack of reaction, left another nasty comment on ( Read more... )

Scenario: a person on ff.net has plagiarized my Harry Potter fic Definitions of Romance, doing a basic cut-and-paste to change character names and a few superficial details like the honeymoon location so as to fit it into a different fandom. The rest is based scene for scene, and often line for line, on my own fic, just lightly paraphrased so as ( Read more... )

I make a point of responding to all my reviews. I do not necessarily provide the responses people are clearly fishing for.

For example, a small exchange from this morning over an old Harry Potter ficlet:

Back in April of 2017, an ff.net anon left a series of misogynist, ableist, and homophobic flames on Tides, one of my old Naruto fics. Ten months later, the anon has returned to leave a flame on Rituals, another old Naruto fic ( Read more... )

This morning, I woke up to a series of ff.net comments on Tides (a Naruto canon-divergence AU fic I wrote back in 2005), which I cannot read as anything other than performance art.

I suspect this is even how the commenter intended them, although what they thought they were performing was threatening and dismissive anger with the aim of producing ( Read more... )

I need to go edit chs. 1-8 of "The Courting Dance" over on ff.net, and post chs. 9-13. But I'd either have to edit in their terrible rich text interface or create thirteen new, clean files (while making sure to copy any relevant author's notes from the currently posted versions), plus replace all my page breaks with ones ff.net won't eat and strip ( Read more... )

I posted ch. 16 of "Guardian" on ff.net today, since I'd finally caught up with the revisions over there.

Things I have missed about actively posting Naruto fic on ff.net: getting a whole bunch of comments. Things I have not missed about actively posting Naruto fic on ff.net: the annoyingly high percentage of commenters with axes to grind and a ( Read more... )

I will never stop finding it fascinating how many people involved in fandom think hate-reviewing is a good idea. It's like they get a mad-on toward one particular character and feel a need to tell anyone who likes (or simply doesn't hate) that character that they are Doing Fandom Wrong ( Read more... )

I woke up to this in my email this morning:
