I think I know what the One/Two Star Fairy's problem is....
Whenever I got bullied at school my Mum always used to say that it only happened because the bullies were jealous of me and I think the same is true at OSA. This person seems to be systematically down starring xome of the best writers on the site (and I'm including you in that catergory) so I think they just have an inferiority complex and are jealous of your talent so they need to do you down to make themselves feel better.
Please don't stop posting at OSA as it's the only fic site I'm a member of and I'd miss you :o( It was reading your fics that got me into fanfic in the first place and it would be a real shame to let something like this stop your writing.
I figured it is either someone who knows us (I have a sneaking suspicion they are either a reader or writer on the VV, since my VV one was voted very low as well a couple of times) or it's someone who goes looking for 5 star ratings, as one thing I noticed - it didn't happen when I reposted my Thranduil story (which I'd originally deleted because of the low star, when I was feeling really lousy). That one was never voted above a 4 for days, and it wasn't touched as far as I could see.
That's my theory anyway. The VV one might be a blip and just someone in there disliked my story, but it seems an awful coincidence.
As for stopping posting, I'm just getting fed up of it. I still have WIPs, and other than 'Bodysnatcher' which I can't decide whether to delete or not, I'm hoping to just slug on with those. Some people might not want me writing that AU story, but I have a load more ideas that still need to be worked into it, so I'm afraid they'll just have to lump it for a while.
The other day me and someone else were discussing it and discovered of the top 100 read fics, only nine of them had five stars. (Or something close to that - the other person was counting, not me) So to me it says that people see a popular story and vote it down. On one hand its encouraging that you don't have to have a five star fiction to be popular. On the other hand its troubling cause my favorite WIP is five stars now. That is stressful for me cause I am terrified someone will vote it down. It had a solid 5.0 average until the 5th person rated it like a 1 or 2 or something so it was knocked down. I was so sad. But now that its back up to five stars, I worry all of the time it will get voted down

"I wish MOB read and reviewed me as much as she did Space. So far she only likes my VV story. ;0) But I love her anyway!"
Do I spot a subtle little hint here Al Darling?!?! :o)
I'm officially on my Christmas holidays as of now so once I've finished my long awaited VV chapter I'll be catching up on all my reading and reviewing. I've not been around enough to do it lately...
Seriously, I was teasing and only want you reading my stories if the topic interests you.
And new VV chapter?? SQUEEEEEEEEEE Its about time. I have a plot bunny I wanted to discuss with you about when your little friend arrives in the village. Have you already written that part?
