    I bet it's the same idiot who has been anonymously shitposting on DLP authors' stories for the past few months. A little while ago it was Joe's turn, now it's yours.

    Is it not possible to block/report these people or something like that?
    I mean, he's talking about raping and killing you on a fanfiction review, what the fuck is this?

    If he is a troll just ignore him. Nothing is more bothersome than wanting a reaction and not getting even a response. It's the principle behind the nice guy syndrome.

    Sorrows should really check out the reviews on Anticlockwise now.
    They've gotten much better

    Cute.

    To add to the fun he's now plagiarizing my and others stories. Including Wastelands.

    Just imagine this guy in his basement, violently masturbating in front of his shrine to Leatherface every time he sees a new post itt.

    One of the reviews on the fake Wastelands cut to the core of me:

    This cunt has been pissing around the Internet for who knows how long. He (or she) got my attention after going HAM on a fic or another on an old account of mine.

    "well the first chapter was good. the second was...Weaker...now your not even writing full chapters but short brief quick glimpses instead of chapters. Never before seen a writer get WORSE with each chapter! Usually a writer either writes real chapters or their worthless and give these shorties you now are... Why you think a "chapter" can be shorter then a school kids short essay answer on a test ill never know! You dont think this is detailed and good right? your not trying to show any character development or have your readers connect with ANYONE in your story...right? There is NO way you think this is quality work worth posting...right!? You not just ANOTHER lame person wasting peoples time with your half assed efforts to get compliments from a hand full of retards who couldn't read a real book to save there own balls...right!?...good punctuation and grammar thought...just shame your a lazy worthless writer!"

    -From, big surprise, Guest.

    I don't know which one of my ex-girlfriends wrote this, but I've got a real good up and down game.

    Found this when I looked at the reviews for "Time and Again." "Wandless Magic is widely practiced outside of Roman conquered countries, meaning outside of Western Europe, so all that effort spent on a wand was just a waste of time..."

    I'm mostly just happy that I can evoke this much passion from a reader.

    This is not necessarily true. I know a dude that likes to troll on the internet a lot and he doesn't give a shit if anyone responds or not. Otherwise he's just a normal person.

    So overall, I agree with the idea that you should generally ignore trolls, but do it because they are a waste of your time, not to get some sort of payback on the troll. That's a waste of mental space.

    This is a "review" of an Asoiaf SI fic I was reading, and what bugs me about it is they just use the review as a springboard to post their own embarrassing dialog that would "solve" the SI's problems.

    I understand that generally FFN.net reviews can't be expected to have a high level of quality, but something about seeing this one really struck a nerve with me and annoyed me.

    @Joe I think the inherent problem is an extremely diluted entitlement.

    Don't get me wrong, I get @Sey 's point, you have sorta been writing the same genre with the same characters for a long while. I do that too. Personally, I think your stories are brilliant, and a great read.

    You really just write whatever the fuck you want. Even if it's the same premise with the same characters, /shrugs/ who cares? If it's well written there's nothing wrong with it.

    P.S. I doubt @Sey wrote that review. Not a chance. The reviewer wasn't elegant enough. Reviewer really rambled tbh.

    Just my opinion. Not meant to be an insult to anyone.

    @Sey does have a point, but he didn't intend insult toward you. The reviewer on FFN did.

    I think it's comparable to saying Stephen King is a shit writer because he only really writes horror novels.

    Basically going "because this person sticks to this genre they're somehow worse"

    Not really. I do understand their point but I don't agree with it.
