Yami lolz.

[purple_drake]

See.

See Yami.

See Yami make an ass out of herself. Again.

Twice. In one post.

The first is the obvious:

AND YOU ALSO ABUSED BASIC GRAMMAR.Lol. Just lol. My head is loling on the ground. Yami needs to get new eyes, methinks. And a new brain. And some humility

Wow. About all I have to say to that review is, "Dialogue, bitch! Can you punctuate it?" Seriously, if you're going to insert all the punctuation into a mocking replay of the 'fics dialogue, at least put in the correct punctuation.

I'm also getting kind of ticked by her "If you only want mindless praise, go to FFN!" crap. Especially considering the fact that she left FFN because she was being "framed" and "insulted because she couldn't write good summaries." Though I think the fact that Farla kept yelling at her for not spellchecking may have been a factor as well. :) In any case, the place may not be the pinnacle of internet intelligence and review quality, but the if the scary reviewers managed to drive Yami off, it doesn't seem right that she should be telling people to post over there if they want some ego inflation.

[purple_drake]

Seriously. Although it's lol-worthy, that she's telling 'em off for making a mistake and then making a mistake in her admonishment.

Now that you've told me that, her accusations of ff.net are just ... wow. XD Now she's not just a hypocrite with attitude problems, she's a hypocrite with attitude problems and a closet sheep mentality.

Maybe we could buy her a lobotomy for Christmas. =D She won't be as much fun then, but she'd have to make more sense.

Yami hypocritical? Surely you jest!

Though I think the fact that Farla kept yelling at her for not spellchecking may have been a factor as well.

No no no of course not. It was not the yelling, it was the part where I called her a fuckwit among other things.

Because name calling and profanity of any kind is Very Very Bad and also Deeply Wrong and any place that harbors such Absolute Monsters dedicated to Tearing Down Writers should be avoided at all costs.

(Also, telling someone their story is wrong without offering line by line corrections and explanations for each error is Unforgivable Laziness.)

Re: Yami hypocritical? Surely you jest!

[negrek]

Hah, wow, you really did that? I might remember that episode vaguely, but I was just going by reviews for the stories that are up on her account now, which don't include anything particularly offensive.

[razorleaf]

Actually, that's the third time I have had to correct Yami's punctuation. She keeps posting yelling at people for doing something wrong, then does the same thing wrong just differently.

I've also explained it to her at least once in a review I gave her fic. So not only is she a hypocrite, she's also ignoring whatever people are explaining to her.

She shouldn't be yelling at people if she can't do it right herself.

By the way, have you considered letting someone you trust log in under your name and post the review? I know it would require some trust, but the forum has been working - albeit infrequently - for some of us, so it might be worth a shot if you really want to see it posted. ^^

[purple_drake]

And here I thought my opinion of her couldn't sink any lower. Considering she has actually shown intelligence once in a while, I would've thought she'd be smart enough to correct mistakes once they've been explained to her.

Obviously not. Obviously the only parts of reviews worth reading are the parts that she can ... ahem ... 'explain'.

And I envy your patience, if you've reviewed/corrected her more than once. XD

Actually, I already thought of that. ^^; Unfortunately, it seems the errors are pretty random--there's no telling which threads/posts they'll screw up--but once they've struck they stay, no matter where you log in. I tried on my laptop; on my dad's computer; I asked someone else on the other side of the world to log in and post for me. So apparently the errors are not only random, they latch onto people's accounts too.

I really, REALLY hope they get it fixed soon. Now it's struck the Beta House so I can't update it, and when I asked Psych to do it for me it wouldn't let her either.

[razorleaf]

The worst part is that I had to do it in other people's threads, because she was 'teaching' them the wrong thing. That's also the only reason why I've continuously corrected her, because her bad writing skills are being used as an example of what to do and I can't have that.

About the forum: That's really a pity. That server move was disastrous. I haven't had as many problems with it since I joined, which is saying a lot since I use it almost daily. Crappy, crappy forum, it is.

I hope you'll be able to post it soon enough, hun.

[purple_drake]

*nodnod* Yeah, I know what you mean. It wouldn't be so bad if she'd just admit she's wrong and use the corrections in the future, but she doesn't. Of course, considering her attitude on reviews given for her own stories, she's probably not bothering to read the other reviews given to the stories she's reviewing.

[actonthat]

I am so, so insanely happy that she is back.

I really need to start lurking on SPPF more again.

[purple_drake]

XD She does provide some amusement, as boggling as her actions are to me.

It's so much easier to find her amusing when she's directed at one's self, though. I found I was getting angrier when she directed herself at Psych or Silawen, than when she brushed me off.

Go figure.

I'm actually feeling sorry for that reviewer. Geez, Yami should have give advice on how to make the dialogue more flowing and stronger, not mocking how bland the dialogue is. Then again, it's Yami. :P In all seriousness though, I had my reviewers/betas giving me advice on dialogue and not mocking how bad it is.

[purple_drake]

I'm assuming the 'reviewer' you're feeling sorry for is the fic-writer? XD

Yeah, Yami's just full of it. What, I don't want to know, but she's definitely full of something.

She thinks she's reviewing 'properly' according to the announcement Psych posted a while back, but she just doesn't see that a lot of her 'examples' and 'advice' is pretty much mocking.

If she was an editor in real life she ... well, wouldn't be an editor. You just can't treat the clients/authors like that and expect to get away with it. If she worked for a company they'd fire her. If she was freelance, she wouldn't get work. Simple.

Too bad her presence on SPPf isn't so easily resolved.

[bay115]

Whoops. Yeah, fic writer. XD Long day. ^^;
