    >reviewing Lesser Evils twice to say that it doesn't have a lot of reviews
    Those are some big brain plays right there.

    I'm not going to engage with this reviewer anymore, lads. I've said enough. The more I think about it the more I feel sorry for whoever it is - they've got nothing better to do than attack those of us still providing new stories to the community with obscure facts about writers from the last fifteen years.

    It's a race to the bottom between being creepy and being pathetic. The smart money is on a tie. Anyway, I don't see a way this doesn't end, at best, with those of us he's attacking also being on a well-maintained spreadsheet where he guesses our nipple size and hue against suspected skin softness. But then I've always been an optimist.

    So yeah, I'm out.

    Here's a 'worst' review that made me chuckle:

    This guy nailed Wastelands before I even knew what track the story was going to take. I'm almost proud of this one. Heh.

    Ouff. What gets me are reviews that tell you your story is garbage and then compare it to another one that apparently does everything better. I know it's just par for the course, but somehow those sting even more than just a "u suck, and here's why".

    Damn you, fragile writer ego, one day I'll have mastered you!

    All I'm going to say is that if the person leaving those reviews is doing so anonymously because they think they'd be banned then we've sent the wrong message over the years, and that I very much appreciate everyone trying to move the topic along.

    Regarding the Story Competition point, submissions are anonymous and made solely to me and I wouldn't dream of spending an ounce of time trying to connect dots just because someone has a theory that person might have leveled criticism anonymously. It's the internet, that's beyond fair play even if it stings.

    WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lives in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that the best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that read this letter, on a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on the site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake, apparently, if you copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow...,...




    Well, I think, I'm free from this curse.

    Charming.

    People who write shit like that and then say "I'm just brutally honest" are always those who can't take criticism themselves too.

    What's the bet he's an edgy manchild?

    I took a look at his profile, I'd say edgy man-child sounds pretty accurate. It's nice to know I was probably on his favourite list for a while though. Funnily enough he's made my review count jump as people pile in to tell me not to listen to him. I should ask him to shitpost on all my stories.

    Charming update from maybe the same person? I'm not sure if that is even directed at me.

    Is there even a noticable difference between being a moron that freaks out at people over fanfiction, and 'pretending' to be a moron that freaks out at people over fanfiction. The actions are exactly the same, seems to me the only change is in what delusion they use to convince themselves they're not a shithead.

    Damn, haven't updated in about 6 months so it usually gets about 1/2 reviews a month, now 5 in 2 days. Seems that review has brought out the trolls.

    Well seems like I'm getting trolled by someone who lurks here. Dude whoever you are, you are not even worth the breath it would take to insult you. Thanks for the laugh though.
