Do reviewers have no respect?

    That would make sense since he said the fic was great, the review was angry about the lack of commitment and updates not fic qualify.

    The only flame I ever got was for The Rune Warrior, and it wasn't even about the fic, it was about my bio page. Which pissed me off no end. They could at lest have referenced the fic in thier review.

    I'm not entirely sure whether it constitued as a flame, but I had a reviewer early on who pretty much attacked me as an author, not really the story. He did point out a couple miniscule things in the story, but it seemed more like grasping at straws then anything else.

    Made my response and kinda brushed it off because I figured everyone gets something like that sooner or later. Lo and behold though when I released the second chapter it had a bit more 'risque' material then FFNet would normally allow but I didn't think much of it. Until said 'flamer' decided to PM me and threatened to report my story if I didn't give him an 'abrupt and quick' apology.

    While not all reviewers are dicks, I can definitely see where one or two would start to make you feel a bit jaded.

    Well, dude, your fic is a tad...verbose for a lot of folk (read me!). Definitly well written, but its soooooooo bloody long, I'd have to set aside a day to read the two chapters that are out. So thats likely to incur the wrath of a few readers.

    Bah. Vash's stories are still there and they are worse. It's just that Thal happened to catch the attention of a stupid dickwad. Even if he did report it, it probably wouldnt get torn down until sometime late 2007, when they have their yearly 'killing spree', or at all, since I know a story that has had heaps of abuse reports and is still there.
