NOT A CHAPTER
Hi! It's me! This is going to be aimed specifically at the negative people in my audience, so if you were all for my story from the beginning, you can probably skip this.
I'm usually the first one to speak against non-chapter updates on stories, but since this is a one-shot, and something I feel needs to be said, I'll go ahead and break my own rule.
Firstly, a huge thank you to anyone who reviewed or put this story on favorite. The highlight of my day is seeing the 'new review' label on an email! So thank you so much to my supporters!
Now, on to business.
Lately, there have been quite a few reviews that basically say " This hater is wrong, go read the story such and such wrote."
Now, I have a few points to make here. First of all, if you're going to flame someone, at least do it with proper grammar! I mean, come on, it's basic first grade stuff. Punctuation, spelling, etc.
I am perfectly accepting of flames, I think that they are the life and soul of any author, because they spur us to show whoever spurned us that we rule, so it's not the fact that it was a flame that bothered me. I can handle something like "this story totally sucks" or " complete waste of my time" (neither of which were put in my reviews, which I'm thankful for) , but my story was specifically for the ANTI-GAVIN fans. It was abundantly clear in the summary that my story was that kind of story, so I don't understand why the pro-Gavin fans would even click on the title. The fact that they read my story just to flame it makes me very sad, because if that's what they choose to do with their time than what does that say about their character.
Secondly, the story recommendations. I do not doubt that the story that came up twice in the flames is a fantastic story. In fact, I accept that it's probably three times better than mine. But if you wish to make story recommendations, do it on your own stories, or simply to share the story because you think that others will like it. Please don't make a spiteful comment about one story being better than another, because that just shines a bad light on the story being recommended, and no one wants that.
I'm sorry for ranting, but I felt that this needed to be said. Call it a guideline to flaming, if you will.
I may or may not see you later! Bye!
