Someone wrote in [info]fandom_wank,
Having a proper look at the letter, there are so many faults with it, it's hard to know where to begin.

The language is simplistic, almost childish.

The internet can’t have people all over it. It's a digital construct, not country.

I want to assure you that my only intention was to pay tribute to you and your story by turning Jacob into a superhero.

Whoa! And the Back-handed Compliment Award goes to...

I think Jacob is already a super hero. He's brave and courageous (hero) and he can change shape and heal abnormally fast (super). I'm willing to bet SMeyer feels the same.

I know I had no right to do this, no matter how much I loved your characters.

So she doesn’t love them any more? The way this reads to me is ‘I did like SMeyer's writing but her ending put me off’ OR, the fan reaction, protecting SMeyer and her characters did.

By this means,

What? Speak English woman!

I want to ask if you would please allow me to publish Russet Noon as a paperback.

‘I'm sorry I weally and twooly am, but I’d still like to carry on, k?’

I assure you that I will only print 50 copies to give away to people for free. I will cover all publication costs and will never try to sell it. Let this letter attest to that.

Why does she need printed copies? Why can’t she print it in word and bind it herself and give it to friend and family. This request is very odd. She either desperately wants a book with her name on the cover, or she hopes the demand will be so great once these copies go out that the sequel will just HAVE to be published properly.

What happened to releasing it on the net like the rest of the fanfic authors out there?

However, if you prefer for me to shut down the project altogether, I will understand your position. It is your story, and they are your characters. If you ask me to shut it down, I will do so immediately. All I want to do at this point is make things right.

Is this a competition to see how many different ways she can state the same thing?

Respectfully,
Glorianna Arias


Respectfully? RESPECTFULLY? Not only has she shown no respect at all, the correct way to finish a letter to a named person is Yours sincerely. To a Sir or Madam it's Yours faithfully, between acquaintances/business associates a new trend is Kind regards but it is never ever ever Respectfully.

Yeah, include the phone number 'cos you are SO gonna get a call. NOT!

Sad, petty, poorly educated, delusional idiot.

It’s a sad day when a dyslexic (who still can’t tell the difference between a verb and a adjective, though not for want of trying) can pick your letter writing skills to pieces.
