News - Pottersues Does Not Support the Flaming of Suthors. Ever!

May 28, 2005 23:59

Oh, and people? Read this. I've been trying to figure out the right wording for saying something very much like that myself. But since I am a lazy person, now that breo_saighit has said it for me I'll just direct you there.

Really hate when people flame the actual story. If you are going to review, make it helpful!

I completely agree. These people aren't going to get better if all they hear is "Step away from the computer and die!" as opposed to "Get a beta reader to check the spelling, grammar, and canon."

Heh, I totally misread that as "Get a better reader..."

I hate you.

You owe me back the precious minutes of my life i wasted reading this piece of trash.

You talentless whore, I'm begging you. Stop writing.

...Oh my God... really? Ouch. I mean, we don't even say things like that in reply to Pottersues's posts.

Agreed. Please guys, don't do this! That's horrible!

We're not the ones you need to be apologizing to.

Okay, we are, but I think the Suethor deserves an apology too. Suethor and all.

Yeah, but... don't feel too bad, we won't hold it against you. I've got a post in my LJ somewhere where I started bitching at a friend because I was angry at something completely unrelated. I basically blamed her for all my problems, ever, and used the word "fuck" about sixty thousand times.

We all do it, just be careful from now on, okay? :)

Don't feel so bad, you can stay. lauremarie9 May 29 2005, 08:53:23 UTC

You seem pretty level headed. I'm sure the bad reviews were just flukes.

If you still feel sorry,you could go back to the fic, and write a nicer review as punishment. rereading the damn thing for something nice to say is pretty hefty penance.

Anger is actually a really helpful motivator as long as it's directed at people who really deserve it. Just remember when you get mad that the Suethor didn't force you to read her drivel. But I give you a thumbs up to write terrible letters to movie producers that make you pay 11 dollars to see some of the unholy crap that's available.

And besides, Suethors generally gets lots of good reviews from other suethors so maybe she didn't notice she got one that was not as glowing.

Hope that makes you feel a little better.
