:D Too funny. You can delete them though right?
:lol: i can - but...i'm a proponent of the right to say anything you want. I don't ever agree with crap reviews like 'this is shit' or 'you should stop writing' etc- but I still figure everyone has the right to express whatever they feel. I just ignore the things that i don't like.

I feel that we writers often take for granted that we do stretch realities and maybe bend canon to suit our likes and dislikes - and obviously like we express our desires through fiction -- similarly some folks express their opinions in their reviews.

Writing smut without making it seem like an anatomical description of sex is tough - I'm still learning how to write it without is seeming crass and intrusive. There's a difference between a love scene and porn when you're watching it on TV/film right? It's the same thing.

- and I've read a lot to know that it can actually gross you out when you're reading it. And yes, I admit I'm a pervert who keeps Sam naked most of the time - but if someone actually has that strong a reaction (and I agree like LAwoman says it's TMI sometimes) that's evoked by my writing - I know it sounds a bit pathetic on my part but actually it's flattering.

Besides - it's hilarious to read it.
I think you always strike a good balance. I mean ever the show writers made our couple's sex pretty hot. :devil:

Plus, Ben and Missy have really really good chemistry on their own (working together) that just heightens the intensity of their characters' relationship. Many dynamics making McSwarek work so well and for us to love so much to write and read more about them!

Thanks for your compliments and LAwoman's too - it means a lot becoz I'm totally imbalanced otherwise

Agree in totality. In fact - i don't think there's any genre they don't work. You name the genre and I'll tell u some scene from canon.

Haha.

Honestly the last couple I felt who could work that much hot chemistry together were Mulder and Scully.

Oh, totally, same couple for me too! And after all these years, David and Gillian STILL have that chemistry! Here's hoping for wonderful things from Ben and Missy and the show writers!

@bbww I think I have told you before how I love the way you write smut without it being to intrusive. And that's still how I feel.

Whoa, I just read the rudest, flame-filled review I've seen so far for a RB fic. Seriously, this person needs to get a life. The author picked upon does use wrong words occasionally and misses some grammar errors, but it's FAR from the worst I've read, and is compensated by an ability to write emotion well. So I just thought the review was so out of line, I would laugh if I didn't know the person attacked probably was as wounded as the loser who left it intended. Trolls suck. :angry:

Let’s play a game, shall we? Yes? Fantastic.

This game is called “Things That Can Write Better Than You”. The rules are simple. Please correctly select which choice can write better than you:

A. My left testicle

B. A toilet-full of chunky diarrhea

C. An inbred midget clown who swims in choice B

D. All of the above

If you chose the correct answer, D, then you have won the following prize:

A spot in my coveted C2 “Stories My Editor-In-Chief Turd Out of My Ass Could Write Better” (which, strangely enough was not one of the choices). Don’t despair! Even if you didn’t choose correctly, I will be kind enough to give you that prize anyway. Who said I don’t have a heart?

Congratulations! Please continue to avoid the dictionary as if it were an oozing, pus-filled sore on an old hooker’s a.s.s. And good grammar? Well, run away from it like it’s a festering syphilitic itch you just can’t scratch in public. Or in words you can understand: your fic sucks donkey balls, and that’s what you wanted me to think, right? Because otherwise, I’d have to believe this was an actual attempt at writing and laugh the crap right out of myself.

Best regards,

F/R

WTFFF?? :cry: :o :sad:

That is just the most downright meanest and awful thing I have read ever.

I never cry about anything, and if I was that author, I would totally be in tears.

What story is this??? (PM me if you dont want to share publicly) I just want to leave a review (yes I will even log on to my craptastic laptop to do it) just to make the author feel somewhat better if possible.

Some people are just total :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :no:

I don't want to make it worse for the author in case he/she deletes it (I would). So I'll PM you.

Seriously? And I thought reviews I got were bad recently!


Number one - I don't know which author it was that got that review but if it is the author I am thinking of, pretty sure that English is not her first language. Many RB authors are actually from different parts of the world and some wrong words may be right in her country.

Number two - I hope the person reviewed anonymously so the author can delete it. If the person did not review anonymously, I'm curious as to who the nasty reviewer was because I want to block that person (and yes, I have blocked people before).

Number three - there is a reviewer who has used this style before. I'm so tempted to email ff.net and ask them to block the person's account. Fanfiction is FANfiction and a place for people to dip their toes into the water and to try something new.


Finally, I agree with deedee920 - I want to know who got this nasty review just so I can give a nice review and show support to the author.


Actually, scratch that. I just found the review. It wasn't the person that I thought and I was even more horrified when I read the review. That reviewer was actually blocked from the first account and I am sending ff.net a message about the review.

Pretty sure you can't delete reviews when a reviewer signed in - deleting reviews is only for anonymous reviewers.


For those of you who have seen this review - I'm going to make a pitch - PLEASE go into the review section and REPORT this as abuse. Plain and simple, it is abuse.


Off to sign out of my account to review the story again.

Yeah, I tried to flag the review, but then I saw that the person actually didn't technically violate any rules as he didn't us any cursing or other things listed as a basis for being considered abusive. But I'm glad you contacted the people running ff.net as I think it definitely crossed way over the line of acceptability in the way it trashed the story.

I put it under offensive phrasing and have reported the review like four times (read the last paragraph). Also, I just wrote her another review (thankfully she has anonymous authors enabled) - and for those of you on ff.net - a word of advice, if you ever come across a review like this, BLOCK the author (meaning the person who gave the nasty review) on your account ASAP.

I'll report it on that basis then. I didn't know you could block anyone on ff.net. I'll certainly block that loser.

Yep! If you go into your account and click the bold "account", one of the subtopics is "block user". I've had an account for over three years and this is the second time I've used it.

Right? I thought it must be some fellow high schooler with a personal grudge the review was so absurd. But I guess the guy is just a loser with too much time on his hands.

It's also in the presentation. I have my own grammar issues and don't mind when people point it out - but don't focus the entire review on the mistakes
