Hit Again!

[fiondil]

I got hit by the CARP (Cowardly Anonymous Reveiwer Person) again! Here it is along with my reply:

Morgoth as rapist and as pedophile (which you seem to suggest here) - I can see why one would think of those as evil things, but it's certainly not what I expect to see on a site that touts itself as being 'family-friendly.'

It's overall an intriguing

*shrugs* I really didn't get any negative reviews on my stories until they became popular. There weren't many, but they were always anonymous, and almost always at SOA. That's why I set my fic-LJ to screen comments, though. I got some truly bizarre anonymous comments there that made me wonder whose fic they were reading. I usually still respond politely with 'I'm sorry this didn't work for you' or some variation on that.

It's part of having fic that lots of people read. You're likely getting more traffic because of the MEFA results, too. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

But on the thing about the site being family friendly? It's in the guidelines that 'This site was created as a place where we hope parents would feel comfortable allowing their teenagers to read.' I can't say whether or not that means family friendly, but I think the site owner likes to think of her site that way.

And I'll shut up now. I've babbled enough. I'm sorry this is happening to you, though.

Well, considering some of the stories on the site, I have to wonder, but that is why there is a rating system. Anyway, I've said my piece and if the person continues to send such reviews, they won't hear another word from me; I'll just delete them. I know that I have many faithful readers (including you *grin*) and their good opinions are the only ones that matter; all the others can go hang.
