Authors note: This situation has become big enough for me to finally step in with a chapter dedicated to it.

Hey guys, not an update, sorry. I wanted to get this off my chest because I've seen an increase in hate comments. Jp bake just had some hate thrown at him recently and that made me mad. He entered this fandom for fun, not hate. Then we have the God of Justice who took time to yell at the authors to get off this fandom so Puppy can be the only one who writes for Ducktales. And finally we have the whole Puppy situation. While it's not much hate going around, I am worried that it'll grow and this fandom will become unbearable to be in.

What I have to say is may everyone please calm down and listen? It's come to my attention that this fandom, a fandom that should be about adventure loving ducks that love each other as a family, has become a bit of a popularity contest. We were all happy when Jordan reached the top with his reviews. We congratulated him, and we made sure he got the appreciation he deserved. Then I made it in second place and everyone was happy.

Then we got Giddy and Puppy. It became a bad situation when the two updated constantly, taking all the attention. They reached the top and people were mad. Yes it was frustrating because one of my friends in college couldn't find my story under all of their stories. So I thank Giddy for listening to her readers and starting over. Making her chapters longer and going at a steady pace. She is giving other authors a chance to be noticed and it means a lot. Giddy, thank you that you were able to cooperate and show concern for your readers.

Now we have Puppy who has a lot of reviews and is now number one, according to the system. People are upset she took over like this and people want to take her down. I understand the frustration. She kept updating at rapid paces and her short chapters aren't pleasing for everyone. If she wants to listen to our advice, she will. If she chooses not to, that shows what kind of person she is. I suggest to just let it go and let her be. She clearly doesn't care what we have to say. She has shown no concern or attention for her readers, so debating with her is pointless. And those that are mad that she has the most reviews, do the math. She has almost 300 chapters and is going to reach 800 reviews. If you divide those numbers, you'll see she gets an average of 2 to 3 reviews per chapter. And some of those reviews are either hate on her or critics. Jordan gets around 12 reviews per chapter. Everyone stop and let Puppy go, she isn't budging.

If you are a fan of Puppy, please understand what she did is unacceptable for many people. Don't go after others because they told her something you didn't like, that'll only spread the hate. Instead just enjoy her content and come to terms that many people don't like her. It's natural for people to like and dislike certain authors.

And in defense of other authors, don't attack them for every little thing. Jp bake was told he was being selfish because he used my covid situation as an excuse to get reviews. No he didn't, he asked me if he can mention it so people can wish me well and good luck. I said yes. This is another example of people taking this as some sort of popularity contest. Don't assume authors are trying to get more reviews in unacceptable ways. We don't know the context behind every author. Every author has their own lives and problems. In fact, many authors write fanfiction as a way to relax and escape some realism. Don't treat new authors and readers like this. And also, don't push other authors into fights. I've noticed people have asked Jordan to take action or give an author a piece of his mind. He's only human, he can't fight forever and for everyone. Let him enjoy the fandom to the fullest so he can find it enjoyable. I really love him and I don't want his experience in the fandom to get spoiled by the tense atmosphere.

We also have the topic of deleting guest reviews. If your review was disrespectful in any way, or you called the author a name, don't be surprised if it gets deleted. Authors do have the right to delete anything they deem as hate speech. Everyone has a different meaning of hate speech because what sounds bad to you may not sound bad to others. I don't delete any critique or hate because none has gone too far. Things I would delete are death threats, and inappropriate name calling.

This world is full of problems. 2020 has been horrible and there will be more troubles to come. In order to relax ourselves, we come to this site to read and write about topics we love. We make new friends of all ages that share our interest. Don't make a fuss over reviews, who has the most reviews, or who should be number one. I didn't come to this fandom thinking I was going to get all the attention. I came because I love writing and I adore the feeling of making people happy with what I write. I'm sure many other authors feel the same way. At the end of the day we're all authors and readers who are looking for some fun. If you see any hate, simply tell them off and if they don't back off, ignore it. There is no point in moving an immovable force.

If you're wondering how I'm doing, I'm almost fully recovered. I say about 90% recovered. My sleep schedule is still off, a bit sleepy and I'm a bit weak but nothing I can't handle. Thank you to anyone who read this through. I hope we can come together again as the duck loving fandom Frank wanted us to be.
