Wow. I haven't flamed in what feels like a year, yea? So, totally out of the blue, I actually received a reply to one of my flames. I am floored. So here's the flame (one of my better ones, I think), and my reply. I feel rusty. Hope its good.
Vampires Shit and Cowards Soul ~~~
Reply by:
Carcass of the Living This is a reply from me about Daggers Night's fic Vampires Blood and Hunters
Soul. Excuse me but what the fuck is your problem? It's their first fic and they
don't need all this bullshit from you. You're not even being constructive on
your critisim. You're just basically bashing everything Night did. Why don't you
pull your head out of your ass and start actually being helpful instead of rude.
Yeah the basic plot is a little overused, but the site has no rules against that
now do they? So let the people who want to read them do so, and you go find
something better for your pathetic self to do. I'm not even going to bother
wasting anymore of my time on something as ridicuios as you. But next time you
deside to totally bash someones fic, please don't, because no one wants to hear
your stupid opinions anyways.

Dude. I actually have a pussy, unlike this guy. I doubt he'll ever get one, in any way. And apparently, I'm supposed to get off my "high hores". Personally, I am insulted that he would call my harlots "hores".

My Reply:
Would you believe I have literally no idea what you are talking about? I had to go physically search ff.net for the fic you were referring to, and I'm still in the dark.
But you say there was no constructive criticism. I beg to differ. I pointed out that the dialogue was stilted, the spelling is horrific (somewhat like yours... might want to check what you type), and the plot has no flow. It sounds like valid criticism to me. I shouldn't have to physically correct the story myself; spelling and grammar can be checked over by a beta or a program.
I also cannot stop anyone from reading this fic. I wish I could, but I am not a moderator of the site, and I do not have that power. What I do have the power to do is post my opinion for everyone to see. Fanfiction.net is, after all, a public site. My opinion just happened to be much more harsh than the moronic replies of "gud storie rite more". Why aren't you yelling at those people? They don't, after all, provide any constructive criticism.

P.S. You cared enough about my opinion to write an angry reply, whereas everyone else has merely ignored it. Sounds like you heard me. Also, I don't write these reviews because someone else might read them. Like your reply, they are an honest affirmation of my disgust. If I don't have a right to write something "bashing" a fic, then you don't have a right to write something "bashing" me. Not that I view this as bashing in any way, shape, or form. Good day.
