"Hello.
If you are a flamer, I need to ask a question to you.
What’s the point in flaming?
I mean, you go around fanfiction criticizing people for stupid reasons!
OH NO!
I RHYMED MAD WITH SAD OR BAD!
WHAT A CRIME!
If you flamers did not notice, I am being sarcastic!
Celebrities rhyme med with bad or sad.
If you listen to a certain song by Shania Twain, you will hear her rhyme those words.
I forgot which song but she still does!
And why do you even flame?
Can’t you just say you hate the story and leave it at that?
And flamers call the authors idiots!
And the anonymous flamers don't even write stories!
So if you are an anonamous flamer, I wouldn't be so mean!
I like my stories!
So I can assure you that I will not take them down.
Fanfiction is a website where you can unleash your imagination.
Need proof?
Look in the top left corner!
It is not the author’s fault that the ‘flamer rate’ has increase on this website!
It is the people who flame’s fault!
I know what you are going to do next, you are going to click the review button and flame this chapter/author’s note.
See, you just wasted several minutes of your life reading something you are just going to say you think sucks anyway!
Goodbye!
R&R!
Flamers could crawl back to their holes!"
Well. Immature posts like these shouldn't be there at all, but for some reason, they are. FanFiction should filter stories. Really they should. If they did our lives wouldn't be half as bad as they are now.
Sometimes, we think that flamers are just a bunch of mean, insensitive bitches who go around insulting stories and scolding people. Maybe we are. I'm not going to deny it and say that we're nice people inside, since we are mean, insensitive bitches. And that's why we do our jobs so well and make you people so pissed off.
I'm not going to say that I don't are for this post, either. In fact, I do. A lot. Because it's so annoying and hilarious it's bordering on the line of childish. Oh, it's already across the border. If you want a link to the post you can click here. Oh, and read the reviews. It's heartening to find other bitches of my kind, and I was sure glad.
Back to the topic. Of course, this author thought her stories were good. Well maybe you don't see it, but you've got to go to the post and read it, from the author's note all the way down. And then you'll find out the immaturity that lurks in ffnet and and feel disappointed. Sorry, but it's the cold, cruel truth.
She said that "celebrities rhyme med with mad or bad". Obviously she hasn't seen celebrities, i.e. Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. If they rhymed that, actually, I would applaud them. Why on earth would anyone make literary references to celebrities? Especially modern ones. I mean, hello.
Another part was on "What's the point in flaming". Destroying others' lives, that's what. As if we had that much time. I mean, it's not that we don't, but we're not that lame. Not quite.
"Can't you just say you hate the story and leave it at that?" Oh God. Sorry, Raine, but this is worthy of the phrase. I mean, seriously? What's wrong with her? How more narrow-minded can she get?
"FanFiction is a website where you can unleash your imagination". I'm sure. But not when it becomes so bloody absurd that humans start mating and impregnating lions. And if you want to read that, click here.
Although I should first caution you of the brain-breaking potential of the horrifying story. Don't say I didn't warn you.
And if we're going to get these bad attitudes from the writers in ff.net, I think we're going to die of the non-literateness of literate people. As if we haven't got enough.
Oh and before I forget, and just for your sake, I shall post my reply here:
Ah, I see. Another one of these. Well, I think you've got us flamers a bit wrong, and I'd like to give you a little insight on how we think, and why we flame.
Firstly, I haven't really seen any flamers who've flamed YOU, so I can't say this about all flamers, but for me, I only flame when the fanfic really deserves to be. Sometimes, I'll see stuff that DON'T deserve to be posted on here AT ALL. And unfortunately your little rant is one of them.
I think that it's just that you have a bit of a problem against flamers. Of course, maybe I'm wrong and we're really just mean people. But I do know for one that we flame for a REASON. If your story was good, we wouldn't flame it, would we? If we didn't flame, I think this place would be FLOODED with crap stories. I'm not saying that it isn't already, but still.
I don't deny that I've found many good pieces here. Of course I have. You seem to have the idea that flamers are just a bunch of bored, mean people with nothing better to do than to flame. Child, if we were mean and bored we'd go smoke pot and go to gangfights.
Obviously you think that us flamers flame people for stupid reasons. I can’t say we don’t, because for us to have to flame for stupid reasons actually means that you have to make stupid mistakes first.
Flamers are there for a reason, and so are fanfics. Fanfic authors want to write. Flamers want to read. Readers and writers are dependent on each other. Fanfic authors reserve their right to write, and flamers/readers reserve their right to read and critique. What’s the problem? There’s no conflict. If the flaming gets out of hand then there obviously is something very wrong with the story and you should go review it. So what’s the problem? I don’t see any here, and by writing this I think you are insulting our right as readers to critique your work.
And by saying that “It is not the author’s fault that the ‘flamer rate’ has increase on this website”, then I’m telling you now that no, actually it is. If the writer hadn’t written a crap story, we wouldn’t be there to flame it, would we?
“Can’t you just say you hate the story and leave it at that?”. Well, we can, but we want to give you comments on how you can improve your story. Your narrow-mindedness shocks me.
“Some celebrities rhyme med with bad or sad.” Just look at Paris Hilton. Just look.
“See, you just wasted several minutes of your life reading something you are just going to say you think sucks anyway.” And you wasted hours of your life writing this.
