Dear Extremely Rude Reviewer,

Excuse me? It was just a haiku. About an old Disney movie dealing with a cat and a group of dogs, based off the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist.

What in those three lines got you so riled up that you found it necessary to drop the F-bomb on me?

rant, real life

Seriously! I post an innocent haiku about Oliver and Company, and the only review I get so far is an "F*** you"? Gah!

Oliver and Company is an adorable cartoon in fact thats why I named my orange cat Oliver :)

I can't imagine what would make someone respond to a simple Haiku with such rudeness :(

Don't let it discourage you though.

I know, I love Oliver and Company. It's just so cute.

Some people are just weird, I guess. Though I'm starting to wonder if it's from this one author that asked me to write a longer Oliver and Company, and kept giving me suggestions with Georgette meeting some OC dog. I kept trying to decline as politely as I could, but maybe the fact I wouldn't do it made them mad enough to send an anonymous review like that?

I don't know. I really don't care, and I'm not really crushed by it or anything. I just found it really annoying.

Haha, what?

No seriously, what? Personally, I honestly don't mind listening to and even taking suggestions from readers, but that one guy took that to awhole other level. Write your own story, guy. What was his name? Sorry, I'm nosy, lol.

I'm telling you, the majority of the time, the pple in fandoms revolving around talking animals are straight-up weirdos. I wouldn't be surprised if that guy was mad because you wouldn't write about his Gary Stu and decided to leave a tired flame.

The real sad thing is, this is not the first time this kinda thing has happened to me (the pushing-me-to-write-a-story thing). I somehow get roped into these ideas, and then people are convinced I'm gonna do it...even when I try to tell them that I'm not. =/

*goes to look* femalecenobite22. I even told the person that there wasn't a high chance I would even write another Oliver and Company story. Then, after pitching the idea to me (the exact words were: "i can help you with an oliver and company story well how about georgette goes to a dog show the day after jenny's birthday and she meets a male minpin and falls in love with him", but later changed it to a male poodle when I said no the first time...), they asked me what my idea was, and I had already mentioned I didn't have any. -_-;;

To be fair, though, there's really no evidence that femalecenobite22 was mad about it, so I don't want to assume that person flamed me. I mean, I did wonder about it, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

some people should learn when to zip their mouths. Internet courtesy isn't that difficult.

No it's not, but it does require some common sense to use, and unfortunately some people lack that.
