oh my god, I can't stop laughing, look at what came in my inbox

For context, Crescent Moon was the first fanfic I'd ever written, is a WIP that hasn't been updated since 2010, because that's when I realised it was a terrible story, with cardboard OC characters, Mary-Sueing and out-of-characterness, purple prose and just general ridiculousness. It doesn't help that it was a Twilight fic. Though, I'm fond of it in the way you're fond of pre-school finger paintings, because I know I had to have written a bad!fic before my writing level could have arrived to where it is today.

The only reason I haven't taken it down is because I believe that once a story is online, I should keep it online for posterity's sake. It's like a reminder of "never again will I write something this bad".

I am amused at this person's reaction. Fanfiction.net has the helpful aid of telling you publication/update dates. They probably should have guessed it was pretty abandoned. I've honestly forgotten where I was going with it, but I vaguely remember it was a probably ridiculously bullshit happily ever after.

But, I love this review, despite its extremely errant nature. The all-caps and the "I HATE YOU!" made me laugh and I thought I'd share. Because, seriously, if you want an author to continue writing a story, saying something like that is not the best way of going about it. Still... ahaha. :P

blarghy, funny, fandom
