Well, that was a bit of a let down

 I just got my first flame in ages. Unfortunately the person couldn't even be logged in when they flamed me, so I can't criticize them on their failtastic attempt at offending. I'll just do it here then.

I hate flamers and poisonous anons.

I can't wait to see some more Winter Coat ^_^

[diamondunicorn]

Actually, I think the thing that most offended me was that the flamer used gay as an offensive term to me. There are a lot of things people can say about me, and I won't care, but I take deep offense when people use gender sexuality, or the like in an offensive manner.

My fingers itch to go into detail on why using gay as an insult is bad just to imagine their O_o face that that's what I take away most from their flame.

I'll probably have the latest chapter done soon and then I'll send it to you for proof reading ^_^

Urk, flaming is bad enough, but hiding behind anonymity is just plain sad >_< Hope they don't bother you again with their crap.

And looking forward to reading more of Winter Coat <33

I'm not very offended by the personal insults, I mostly didn't like how the person used gay as an insult to me. It shouldn't be an insult to be called gay and I'd sooner call the idiot out on their homophobia than give a crap about them calling me uncreative or lame.

My best guess, the asshole is one of those idiots writing all that stupid Mary Sue crap. Like those are such stunning works of art. I did recently insult such an author earlier today, so it may have been them or a friend of theirs.

LULZ @ failed insult. But hey congrats on your first flame ;).

[diamondunicorn]

Haha, I can't believe they thought saying my username and icon were gay would be an insult. I wasn't exactly going for something robust when I named myself Diamond Unicorn and made my icon a purple my little pony unicorn I drew myself. And I write slash! I am very secure in my sexuality, and insulting it isn't gonna get a person anyway. Now calling me close-minded, that would inspire personal offense.

It's funny how when people do something to me I should get angry at, I instead laugh and feel more offended at how bad a job they did.

[gogglehead84]

Seriously, I honestly hope that person is under 12 or else I'll feel really bad for them. They are the ones missing out.

Wow, what a pathetic excuse for a flame. Old or not, I thought the story was cute and funny. And unlike anon-flamer's comment, it was completely free of typos and/or grammatical errors, with nary a Sue in sight! That alone puts it head and shoulders above most of the slag in the Pit. I'm guessing this is a case of "Those who can, do. Those who can't - bitch."
I give them extra bonus points for making fun of your icon and username, though - them grapes is pretty sour, huh anon?

[diamondunicorn]

Haha, I still remember some of my earliest works. Those stories were god awful and I am thankful they are gone from existence. The story isn't nearly my best, but it was fun, and like you said, it's written mostly errorless. The way FFN is going, if you can avoid obvious Mary Sues and too many writing errors, you're already ahead of the majority of writers.

If I'm right about who the anon is, that four year old story is still better than their recent stories. I'd even bet she's just angry my stuff has more reviews.

[seeker_freefall]

I think this is one of those situations where you send yourself a comment on the story, saying something like:
"Oh, woe is me! Some horrible person left me a lame-ass review! What ever shall I do?! *sob* *wail* *wringing of cloth, tearing of hair*" /sarcasm

'Cause you know the person who left said shitty comment will probably check back to see if you've deleted it, just so they can try to give you more grief.

[diamondunicorn]

Oh, there's an idea. It's probably the only way I can respond and hope to get the message back.
