I read this fanfiction, called My Immortal, and I felt that people were being cruel in the way they treated Tara, the girl who wrote it. So, one chapter will be that original chapter, and the one immediatly following will be my version of what she was saying, not altering the plot in any way. I'm tottaly fine if people start hating on me about this. Just leave Tara alone. Please favorite if you agree with me. Thank you for being considerite of other's work, I know that every one of you try really hard. Sometimes, it just doesn't come out the way you want it to. This girl wasn't trolling, she was calling out for help. She was all over the fact that she cut, going as far to show herself through Ebony. Calling an OC who is the main character a bad thing isn't okay. "Mary Sue's" do not exsist, people just want less OC's. Notice in most stories, the amount of OC imteraction is going down. Be respectful to those who's idea of fanfiction is a little different than yours. People are fine when it the reader's point of view, but it's horrid to have an OC be like that. This rant is my first chapter because I want you to understand why I'm doing this. It's not to mock Tara, it's to support her. I have friends in her shoes, maybe some of you do too. I almost started cutting a couple months ago, but couldn't do it. I told myself that I was ugly enough without the scars. I told myself everyday in the mirror that I was ugly, no matter how many of my friends or family said I was pretty. Sometimes, life just hurts, and some people want help, so they search for it in a way such as Tara's. They go through the trouble of creating their perfect looking them, but with the same personality. Honestly, most of us writers do. We want ourselves in the story, we want to make our perfect world. Mostly, we want to be loved. There are many different approaches to this, but most of them are shot down by, as Tara called them, preps. Attention is an important reason we write. We want others to see us, to know of us, to like us. Not everyone knows how to do this, maybe Tara is one of them. Oh, by the way, I'm confused on one thing. How is writing a fanfiction trolling, but the evil and mean reviews that come with it are not? Many people on here, myself included, misspell common words, some more than others. Also, you must understand Tara's point of view. Maybe she didn't have a lot of time to write, and therefore shortened all the words she could, even if it meant misspelling them. Sure, some are really out there, like "goffik," but maybe that's how she has learned it. Not every writing source has spell-check either. If anyone writes a single rude review to this story, I swear, I will report you. That does not include if you are giving me courteous advice on one of MY chapters, where you can leave me helpful tips on how to improve my writing. There is no such thing as a bad fanfiction. Only mean people.

I'm not seeking attention by doing this, but I would like to inform you that this girl deserves to be recognized, not scorned. She is obviously trying to add some humor to the writing, with her little side notes. And, Dumbledore is a hard name to spell, and if you're typing fast you could hit the wrong key. This girl is an angel, a hero. She continued the story for a long time, even after people assaulted her with cruelty. If you were one of those people, than I want you to never come near my fictions again. This is someone's life you ruined. The golden rule still rings true. Treat others the way you want to be treated. So simple, yet no one seems willing to do so. I do. If you treated someone else's writing like shit, than you deserve to be treated that way as well. I want people to like me, so I promise to never be negative to anyone. Please respect the art of literature, and allow everyone one to write as they please. You can too.

I love you all, but you have to understand I can't let something like this go untouched.

See yaz,
