Honestly, I don't flame unless I seriously take issue with your story. And usually, despite my name, I actually do give advice within the reviewI don't just say "u suk ur storie sucks and u should nevr rite n e thing agin." That's generally a tactic used by anonymous flamers, who you'll note leave you no way to contact them either. If you want to contact me to take up issue about anything, leave me a review with your email and I'll write you, thus giving you my emailI've had to take mine down because someone had a bit too much fun clogging my inbox with hatemail from various emails. Grow up.
This account is run mainly as a tool to attempt and get some of the worse authors to either stop clogging up the boards, or start writing decently enough that it's no longer considered clogging but what we actually want to read. As for my own ficI make no claims to be perfect, it was started to give people a place to review so I wouldn't have to post my email (see prev. paragraph), and was continued because people asked me to. shrug I certainly never expected so many reviews...guess you never know. Flame away if you feel the urge; I'm the last person to take offense at it. Constructive criticism? I'm trying not to be hypocritical, so I'll try and take your advice. if I remember.

Apparently a bit of confusion has arisen about the manner of Mary Sue and whether or not Mary Sue in my fic matches the definition I gaveersomeone, in some review, idk. I can't believe I'm bothering to defend this, but there are many different forms of Mary Sues. See Ankhsattva's Mary Sue classification guide; it should be under my favorite stories.

Well, now that the clarification session is over...go read the stuff on my favorites lists. I try to pick the best and the best only.

Your friendly neighborhood Flamer,
