    Thats what strikes me as funny with the whole situation now. He obviously wanted some kind of recognition for his work. Im sure on some basic level we all do, which is why we post it. I guess the constructive criticism (which is apparently flames in his eyes) was too much to handle.

    Not out of line.

    being wealthy, sleeping with tonks, any number of other things, are all widely established plot bunnies.

    And as for the whole making the transition? write short stories with emphasis on characters and basic plots being conveyed easily to the reader, not something that doesn't take a lot of effort to write. He just had to go and copy a bit of this and a bit of that to take what he wrote. Nothing new or Original

    I think that his web page is indication of why he wouldn't be able to take any sort of criticism. He's and emo. And a bitch.

    Hmm - a quite fascinating exchange in general, I must say. The truth is, anyone who can't take what I like to call a "good, constructive, USEFUL review" is not a stage of writing fanfiction where they should publish publicly anyway. They just haven't gotten there yet - if they ever will. In the meantime, take my advice and just chuckle at his clear immaturity. I think most of us are already doing that.

    I happen to think it was an excellent review. The author is cleary in some weird world where by all reviews are wonderfully optimistic about everyones stories. This guy must think the whole world is against him to get so defensive and offended by a perfectly well mannered and honest review. I wouldnt be suprised is he wasnt part of one of those online suicide clans...

    I really wanted to read his story and tell him what I thought of it. Too bad he took it down.

    You just know on a private website, he'll delete any type of review that offends him. Oh well...

    TinnTam: All Blacks beat France. I just had to say that, since I dont know any french people. ;)

    Yeah, I would've liked to read the story AND the reviews as well...

    Dark Syaoran: I had no idea they were playing, and quite frankly, I could care less :).

    I think I was one of the reviews who got it taken down. I posted a flame review which was patially deserved. It was a cliche story but was well written with not many grammar and spelling mistakes. Hell he even quoted me as one of the reviews who made him take it down. I think me telling him it was faster to copy paste other stories and put them together than write one since they both would turn out the same way is what pushed him over the edge. Well at least he knows what a flame is now.

    This is hilarious. These people that can't take anything but 110% ass kissing are like a different species sometimes. This reminds me of one person who I left a constructive review for whom then later responded by threatening to cast a hex on me. Real in thier mind, not HP type.

    What a pussy. I wish he would save the world his shitty trite poetry and just get it over with and slit his fucking wrists. Boo-hoo! My life isn't perfect! Boo-Hoo, I people are mean and won't gratefully accept every piece of shit I choose to offer them.

    Tell this pussy to put on some Green Day, wear his mascara, and wear a dog collar, and go outside pretending to be deep, and GET HIT BY A FUCKING BUS.

    Cocksucker.

    Go to his site, and it'll crack you up even more. The emo poet hasn't uploaded a single emo poem.

    He's a fake emo:)

    What is sadder, in your opinion? A true emo, who probably needs medicines, or a fake emo, who pretends to be an emo for attention?

    I prefer real emo's. They will cut their wrist and make the world a happier place. (Power to them right there.) :p

    Faker emos... they just suck. They give true emos bad names. True emos need help. Fakers should be drafted first.

    They are the kind of person who only wants attention. The guy probably wanted to bask in praises from reviewers, but he didn’t expect to be criticized.

    seriously, this guy must not read any other stories or comprehend what you are telling him. You weren't rude at all, you mentioned how unnecessary harry becoming rich is and that's constructive in my book. If he's trying to make a transition to original fiction maybe he should try writing original ff first.
