Oh gods :headwall:
If I promise not to kill you can I have a hug?

My favorite thing about eating gummy bears is that they don't fight back when bite their heads off

Teddies don't hug back, but sometimes they're all you have...

Joker: You know, there are three kinds of people in this world. The optomistic that find the glass half full, and the pessimistic that see it as half empty. Then there's the paranoid, and they just think someone's drinking out of their glass.

Corrigan: Huh, then which one are you?

Joker: I'm the one who knocks the glass over.

The author of Elle the Whatever updated by adding a chunk to her existing chapter, it is revealed that Balin wanted some evil mithril to be king and got killed by Elle, Gandalf has sworn to protect her and there are a couple of new minis; Grimli I, II, III, IV, V...etc. If anyone still wants to read the MST (It got taken down because the author complained), send me a PM with your email address.

I would like someone to enlighten me as to what Celebrian is. I'm hearing it mentioned a lot as an extremely bad fic.
One part fool, three parts brave-Brom in the Eragon movie

It's better to ask forgiveness than permission-Brom and Eragon in the Eragon movie

Here's a wiki article on it

http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Celebr%C3%ADan_(badfic)

and it includes links to the actual fic.

Did you know, by the way, Ari, that I got a reply from Shadow08, the author of "Stuck in Middle Earth"?
[align=center]“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

My message:

If you don't like being bitched at about Stuck in Middle Earth (SIME), you could, you know, actually listen to the advise you've gotten and improve your writing and story, instead of, like you've been doing so far, stick your fingers in your ears and ignore everybody who doesn't say "OMG YUR STORY ROCKZ I LUV IT WRITE MOAR!1!". Not everybody who doesn't love your story is a flamer. But of course, if you can't take criticism, you wouldn't know this.

Fact is, dear, that if you don't like being bitched at and don't like reviews that don't praise you as the best writer ever, you shouldn't post on a public site in the first place. You've posted this story for the world to see, and well, everybody is going to judge it, and no, not everybody is going to like it. There are two ways you can react to this:

1) Suck it up, grow up and try to listen to the advise you're given.
2) Stick your fingers in your ears and go "Nanananana, I'm not listening! I'm the best writer ever! You're a mean flamer! It's fanfiction I can do what I want!".

You've chosen option 2. Well, you'll get bitched at for that, too, for it's an immature thing to do. Grow up. Nobody's perfect, and everybody can improve. Of course, you have to want to improve and accept that your story may actually not be that great. Posting a chapter just to spite those who didn't give you super duper positive reviews is another sign of immaturity. Clearly you're not old enough to be on this site and accept that everybody can give their opinion about your fic, be it good or bad. Saying "don't like? Don't read!" is stupid as well, because to know if we like it or not, we have to read it first. We all like praise, that's true, but you've got to earn praise by writing a good story and by improving yourself. You, frankly, have done nothing extraordinary, special or even likeable to deserve the four hundred positive reviews you've gotten. It's an insult to all those other writers out there who write, giving it their all, and getting not even half the amount of reviews you have. Quantity over quality, a pity.

And please, spare me the "I did it for shits and giggles!". That's no excuse. At all. If you think saying that will protect you from criticism, think again. If you did it for shits and giggles, don't bother posting it at all, then. Lord of the Rings has enough Sues to deal with without your unbelievably insolent and rude Sam prancing around. That it has taken you years writing this "story", while having not improved AT ALL during it, is simply astonishing (in a bad way). If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a troll.

You'll probably respond in an immature, belittling and rude way (calling me names, saying "Don't like? Don't read!" or "Mean flamer! Go away I'm not listening!" or "I don't care what you say, I don't listen to mean flamers who don't praise me to high heaven!"), or not respond at all. I'm guessing the former, judging from how you reacted to the negative reviews of your "story". But go ahead, and prove that I'm right.

PS: You like bitching at people but you yourself don't like to be bitched at? Seriously, do you even realize how childish this sounds? If you're going to give criticism, expect to receive some in return. That's how it works, and we all have to suck it up and deal with it, because that's life. You'll probably say some bad things about me, too, if you respond to me. Whether or not your arguments will be well-founded, however, remains to be seen. And honestly? I doubt you could bring up a convincing argument, anyway.


Her reply:
Quote:
 
Oh wow. This is...okay. You know what? Thank you. Thanks for taking the time to tell me your thoughts on the cluster** that went on in my review page. Believe me, I totally agree with you that criticism should be taken with grace, but what went on in those reviews weren't really criticisms, they were insults. Forgive me if I don't think barraging me with reviews that basically just translate to *points and laughs* as conducive to bettering my writing.

I know you think that you're all so amazing and worldly and everything, and really, I'd love to hear more of your views. I need a lesson in being judgmental. Anyway, clearly you don't like my story, whatever, can't please urrybody but the thing is, I had fun writing it. So whatever, think whatever you like. Your message amused me. Good job.

Ah, Suethors. Will they ever learn.

The Suethor who wrote Elle the Lady of Whoop-de-S*** hasn't even replied to the review I gave her. When I said she reached new heights of stupidity it was the fact that she used her character to reply to Arya. WTF?!

And...I'd like to know what the heck this is:
