First of all GIP with thanks to the tantalizing ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
telesilla for an icon that says it all..
fanfic_hate is akin to having a nasty rash. The more you scratch the worse it gets.
It was obvious that such a community was going to attract the absolute bottom feeders of the fandom community. Never before in the history of fandom have I seen such a group of people gathered together in one place who are all so desperately in need of a damn good shag! Maybe we could start up a dating service for them or something?
Oh and it's my great pleasure to welcomeptalleyrn to the swelling ranks of those who have whipped the We-hate-Tritorella brigade into foaming apoplexy. Someone make the girl a 'I'm a Nazi Enabler' icon!
As far as the anonymous commenting issue goes, I know that the so-called reasoning behind this is that it protects people from being attacked by ravening hordes of BNF minions if they express a dislike for a popular fic.
Can I just say what a load of cunting bollocks this is! If your going to dish out criticism to people then at least have the backbone to accept that this means you may be criticised back. The sooner some of these people get to grips with the idea of action = consequences the better.
Personally, I think all the authors who have had their work attacked in fanfic_hate should regard it as a back handed compliment. I think I'd be proud to know that the type of people who participate in something like fanfic_hate didn't like my writing.
For the Fact Fans out there, I would add that there is also a connection between the majority of the authors who are getting attacked in the Highlander thread. I'm sure the more intelligent among you can work out what it is.
*grins*
And that's my last word on the subject. Now I'm off to put together some Highlander recs as an antidote to all the poisionous negativity.
Toodles!

Well, if that was the intent when they mentioned mine, they failed miserably, cos like I said earlier...the fact that my writing is not universally beloved is not exactly a secret to me. So I found it amusing more than anything.
Probably other writers' mileages may vary though.
From:
Well let's face it..
..the crit of your stories was so lame it was nearly dead. Methinks there were other reasons for that as well *winks*
Anyway we all know your a tough old boot with hide like a rhino! You kinda enjoy it! :)

It truly doesn't bother me. But of course that doesn't negate the fact that everytime I post a story I still expect someone to write back and tell me it was the worst thing they ever read.
One day someone will *g*.
From:
Well if they do..
..laugh heartily at them. You write exceedingly well and none of the criticism leveled at Kiss of Shadows was particularly fair, nor inded accurate.
I think the extra detail you gave to the location of your story added to the flavour, I thought your OC's were interesting and not intrusive and I am just baffled by the criticism that having D and M apart for most of the story was a problem..
Inevitably there will always be people who do not like your work because it is not to their taste or because they do not see the characters as you do. This does not mean you writing is bad or that your story is not woirth reading. To be honest I wish more people in fandom spent as much time researching what they write like you do!
Example. I really dislike Loch Ness' story. The characterisation of Duncan is not bad but her Methos is not one I recognise. Yet, she is obviously a very competent writer, the story flows well and I can understand why a lot of people like it very much.
I would not rec it myself as I did not enjoy it. That does not make me think it is over rated however or motivate me to condemn it in public.
I think a lot of the fandom community need to mature a bit intellectually and realise that just because someone does not see a character the way they do does not mean they are 'teh EVIL' *grins*

Which is why this sort of thing doesn't upset me at all. It's just people's opinions. I can't change them and I don't expect that everyone will have the same one, so there's no point in getting upset about it.
