Hey guys! I'm super duper sorry I haven't been updating as of late. I've got some crappy IRL problems concerning some friends being bullied as of late, and I just wanted to say a few things because I myself have gotten some very hateful and concerning reviews from a Guest.
Honestly, I wouldn't want to say what the reviewer said in both 'Castle of Glass' and 'Mirror', in case you know who it is. But if you do happen to be reading. You, yes you the one who cussed me out in the reviews, I'd like to let you know something.
First of all, I don't know you. You don't know me. But if you'd like, you can go ahead and make an account to private message me. Cuss me out all you want, I won't report you, but I will have something to say about it. In other words, come at me bro!
Second of all, if you don't like my work, or my friend's work, then refrain from reading it. Simple as that. You sort of alluded to reading multiple fics -I assume, I'm not posative- and by reading the first one/chapter you could have simply stopped reading.
Third of all, yes I know I have not been updating. But with the clearly arrogant and rude attitude you have been displaying in the reviews, I'm sure you don't know what kind of crap I'm currently dealing with right now in my private life, and while you're words do not effect me, it is still bothersome.
Three of my friends, one of which is genderfluid, the other completely trans, and the final being clearly bisexual and also black, are being treated VERY disrespectfully. One of them was freaking crying the other day because he called her a nigger, and told her she belonged in the cotton feilds. Honestly, I hate people like that, because by being rude to my friends he's been rude to me; and deserves a good punch in the face for all the shit he has been spewing. I know him, personally.
However, I don't know you. I truly hope I don't know you in real life, and never will. You had better hope so too. I also hope you haven't been baraging other writers with this nonsense. This is a site full of many young and truly talented writers, and there are even some proffessional authors on here.
If my writing is truly as shitty as you claim, it's not stopping me. I'm going to keep writing to get better and better, and you can't stop me. I don't give a flying fuck about what you say. (Excuse my French)
So what, I don't always check my grammer and spelling? That's what the reviews are for, notifying me of my mistakes and double-posts and whatnot (thank you to those who have helped me in that area). Not hating or flaming. So what, some of the stories on my page are voilent and disturbing? I'm sure most of them have disclaimers for alarming material. If not, I'd love for you to let me know which ones don't. So what I don't have a constant flow of ideas and 24 hours a day to write? That's life. Writer's block they call it. I'm sorry if I haven't updated something, or if you want me to start writing something. I've had to pull away from several collabs and requests because I just haven't had the time as of late. And I'm truly sorry for that too.
Honestly, your reviews have just allowed me to make a statement. I am not effected very greatly, if at all about what you have said. I know I am a great writer, not only from the many, many, many reviews that outnumber yours, but from teachers, peers, and adults around me. Hell, guess what? Someone once IMed me telling me I should submit a story into a contest. A contest dude, and on a very high ranking writing site at that.
But if I hear you have been reviewing like this to other writers who may not be as confident as I, I assure you mister/miss, you're gonna get it. It's not gonna be me, it's gonna be the bullet train called life coming right down the tracks at you.
As for my dedicated readers and followers, I am sorry I haven't updated. I have another chapter for 'Naive' in the works, and am brainstorming for 'Castle of Glass'. I apologize for inconveniencing you with this note, and if it is to be removed, I hope the mods see it as a sign to keep their eyes out.
If you have been negatively reviewed in such a fashion (cussed out and shamed pretty much), them shoot me an IM. I would love to talk about it. Also, thanks for reading through my venting session. I'm just done with rude and disrespectful folks. As for now, goodnight and good wishes to you all.
Join the dark side.
