    I'll say this beforehand--Echoes of Power has been one of my favorites for a while now. I am not afflicted by a deep hatred for Ginny, and as this one is not terribly in canon, I will even go so far as to say that I crave updates of this story.

    Now, read the top of this page:

    Echoes of LOL

    Thoughts?

    PS. This is my new all-time favorite story.

    Did this same thing not happen with Kinsfire? He decided to say something stupid about DLP and we walked over and shit down his throat for it? For some reason, I'm having the most unending urge to go do that just now. I'd like to have some support when I find some random reason to get his account banned. Damn, this was my 500th post, too. I guess a lulzy topic is worth it, though.

    The story isn't bad, but I think that guy is just ass backwards on how he views DLP. He obviously doesn't like the site, so he stereotypes all DLP users with all the cliches of an "internet nerd/otaku with no friends" like it's the definitive truth. He could have just said he didn't like the users views on HP, which would have made sense and not made him look like a child making ridiculous insinuations.

    Granted, a lot of us here probably do play games and enjoy anime and manga, but I've never seen anyone here claiming to be a Nippon encyclopedia because of this.

    The author said that? Major burn.

    I don't disagree with one thing the author said. You can't expect the author of anything to change for a specific group of people if the author in question is any author at all.

    However, I'm certainly not a manga-reading prepubescent boy. And saying we're all "impaired mentally" is insane, as we're one of the few sites that upholds high standards in fanfiction. This person has some issues.

    And anyone who wastes that much space on an author's note kind of deserves to die. Nothing she (or he?) said bothered me as much as the space used to say it. I hate reading those damn things.

    LOL...it made me laugh, but then it brought out my inferiority complex that I keep hidden on this site, since the site empowers me and makes me feel better than anyone.

    What kind of bullshit is that thing spouting?

    Did he even bother stopping by the site.

    I am more interested in who invited him to DLP then 'shitting down his throat', so to speak.

    Who in their right frame of mind would review an author and ask them to change their story outline in order to join a simple website? I wouldn't want to join us either if the only member I knew asked me to change my views for no reason whatsoever.

    That person should have their 'throat shitted down'.

    Although, moshpit could have gone the extra mile to make himself come across calm and collected, rather than displaying hints of an inferiority complex.

    It elicited a chuckle from me. Anyone think that this warrants trolling his fic by reviews? Guess you would have to do it with another account name cause he doesn't accept anonymous reviews. Don't want to get your account banned or anything from ff.nazi, if you are a writer at least.

    I like his insults. I read manga so I know everything about japanese culture, lots of lulz there. I don't know enough about my own culture, let alone someone elses.

    I lived in my mind but I lost my key.
    Lol I laughed so hard.


    I might be insane. But I know for a fact that I can read. I read War and Peace when I was like 7 for some dumb elementary school thing.

    I took Karate long enough to get a yellow belt. Fear Me!!!!

    Never been to Japan would love to go but never been and dont know much about it.
    Bout the only true part was impaired mentally because I am most definitely insane.

    And Most definitely past puberty

    So I said to her...

    I’ve passed puberty. I looked up angst, and the Dictionary said “A feeling of anxiety or apprehension often accompanied by depression.” I do not, and never have suffered from depression. Nor do I often (if ever) feel anxiety of apprehension. There are of course exceptions, I was quiet anxious when…oh fuck it, I can’t think of an example.

    On further examination of that sentence, I believe that the victims of August the Fifth are being referred to. Those folks most certainly are pathetic.

    First off on the subject of games, honey, ain’t ya eva’ play hide-and-go-seek?

    Secondly I don’t read comics or manga (anime isn’t comics you stupid bint, I don’t even watch it and I know that). The only basis for understand of martial arts and Japan I have are Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2 as well as my uncle who spend 10 years in Japan training as a Ninja. Aside from Japan and martial arts, yes I do know everything about life in general. I did not however learn this from watching anime, reading manga.

    I did learn rather a lot about if through playing games though. May I recommend Find-the-Sausage? It really is quiet informative.

    You’re really rather close to the mark here. I was actually incapable of reading anything until the end of 3rd grade. Please bear in mind that I did 2nd grade twice. Now not only can I read, but I also have proven myself able to comprehend what I am reading. The way I gauge this is that I can successfully write a paper on a work of literature. No only can I do that, but I have been know to, on the rare occasion, converse intelligently about what I have read as well.

    I am full of my own importance and ego, I can not argue that. You would be to if you were as wonderful as I. You are not. Let us assume that doing moderately well in America’s education system proves that you are not impaired mentally on an academic level. If that is the case, then you must except that I am not. I can interact rather well socially, though I don’t always care…so I’m not mentally impaired on that front. On the moral level I will admit to getting the short stick.

    Okay. I won’t. You should really consider dropping the H/G aspect of your story so you can post at DLP. As it isn’t a crappy site, I will assume that you don’t mind me expecting you to alter your story for the privilege of posting there.

    If we leave him alone, he had flamed DLP and got away with it.
    If we flame him back, we prove his point.

    Lol, either way he wins. :)

    This offended me. I hate anime and manga.

    Come to think of it, I slit Kinsfire's throat and fucked the hole for something less moronic then this.

    Oh well. Sounds to me like he's an insecure author whose e-peen looks bigger under a microscope then it does without one.

    EDIT: Pinkboa, for a pre-adolescent prendinculo you did ok in the response. You should have left off the uncle bit and flirted with her more though -- I know it's not your thing. . . But just take one for the team on principle. Also throw in a Gilbert and Sullivan quote.

    As awful as it is, going the the conventions is really great fun. When ever I attend one, I feel like Jane Goodall amongst the apes.

    If someone can't comprehend writing, its rather stupid to insult them via alphanumerical communication. At any rate, what kind of person makes fun of a retard to his face? I'm crying on the inside(My tremendous ego doesn't physically allow me to cry anymore, I have to express myself through emoticons ;_; )

    Condemn us for reading manga and watching anime? You write fan fiction for children's stories. We're only about one notch down the scale of having less of a life than you do. ¯\(º_o)/¯

    You're forgetting about double-secret probation!

    Wherein flames are given that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. I've always wanted to write a null set flame. . . Anyone want to join in?

    My response:

    A response I felt appropriate, which didn't flame and instead served as a calm, cool, and collected riposte to a sadly mistaken author.

    Wait, one notch DOWN the scale? No way. Watching anime/reading manga is nowhere near as "lame" as fanfiction. At least, not at my school. I live in suburban America, and kids read manga all the time, in class, in hallways, wherever.

    We should flame the hell out of the author.

    EDIT: Need to post faster :(

    Yeah. I failed to see how he owned the site, but yeah... I'd like to know who asked him to drop the Harry/Ginny from his story. There is much lulz to be had with whoever did that.
