Wow makes me glad my worst moment was mistaking an author's characterization as promoting rape as an alright event...

 

What? Elaborate.

 

Got this review for one of my stories recently:

Wat.

 

I'm going to put forth the conspiracy theory that they were under the influence of drugs because In one of the lines it says: "M I hi" or: "am I high".

 

An old review now, but I just found it again and thought I'd share. For context, a minor aspect of this chapter was Ginny's pet, Arnold, being left behind when they fle the Burrow at short notice.

Thanks for sharing, reviewer.

 

Oh, excuse me, I did not realize that this was a book. My apologies. And this does not help me in the least. Thank you for wasting ten seconds of my life.
This is one of the reviews on my story on FFN and it annoyed the heck out of me.

 

I don't remember the story itself but I believe it was a Harry Potter crossover... mm. What do you want me to elaborate on?

 

My story Contractual Invalidation has certainly been polarizing. The FFnet denizens especially seem to be of several minds about it.

This was a review on the latest chapter posted there, 3.5:

I really hope that the guy is joking. Either that, or he's 12 and growing up on fanfiction- never a good thing to do.

 

I initially passed up your story because post-Hogwarts fics have never interested me but now I've got to go and take a look so I can understand that rambling.

Took a look at the reviewer's profile page. He apparently thinks women who are "16 to 17" having previous sexual partners is an "overused plot idea".

I'm going with stupid.

 

Not sure if reviewer is drunk or spy using fanfiction reviews to pass coded messages.

 

That review is really impressive. It's always amusing when people attach their own narrative to a story, reading stuff that's not actually there. I don't get how that guy is confused about Daphne not being a "Ice Queen", considering you never use that phrase once to describe her.

 

I found Syed's older brother:

 

To be fair, "acid blood bitch" isn't a bad description of Daphne.

 

This one gave me a good chuckle. Review this week for An Unfound Door:



Too bad, indeed.

 

The actual fuck.

 

It makes me want to spite people who demand trigger warnings.

 

What does "capitalistic greed" have anything to do with chapter warnings?

You literally wrote that for free.

 

The thing that drives me absolutely up the wall is when I'm checking out fics to decide on what to read next and so I turn to the reviews. Honestly, one really scathing, well-written review will usually turn me off reading a fic. So I'll go looking to see if there are any. Then, naturally, there's six pages of two or three people leaving like three word reviews on every single chapter. "Great chapter" "excited for next chapter" "ooh awesome chapter" for pages and pages at a time. Seriously? I wondered how some fics get thousands of reviews until I saw that. So annoying.

 

Oops wrong thread.
