Pretentious much?

Someone just can't let go of a detail in one my stories. That person is not my beta, but thinks she is...

She is insisting on picky details that aren't the point of the story. It's fiction: One accepts the concept of "willing suspension of disbelief." The reader has the option to not read. Then too, "Pffffft!" would be a good response if the nit-picking continues.

[naarna]

Exactly. I told her as much in my response. I'm not going to change a single thing because her criticism is rather unwarranted...

I find them mostly amusing in their attempts to troll me. ;-)

[diebirchen]

Too much time on her hands.

At that point, I'd just politely say, "If you're not enjoying the story, feel free to stop reading it."

Some people, I swear.

:/

I told another such troll "Don't like? Don't read", and it somewhat turned into a discussion of what a proper review is supposed to be like. The link to shayalonnie's rant about how to give a proper review shut them up.

This one just amuses me, so far. ;-)
