You do realize this means war.
Pop Quiz:

You are R. Malone, a new author who has a book out that is predominately getting reviews in the four to five star range when someone gives your book a review a one or two star. Do you. . .




BONUS WANKERY IN SCREENCAP FORM!!!


Credit given when credit is due: Copypasta directly from sf_drama




ETA:

Edited in some screencaps of my own, and also: HOLY COW WAT. HIDDEN AGENDAS!!



ETA AGAIN:
R. Malone's original message to the reviewer/blogger, as found in a cached search! (sceencap coming if LJ WOULD UPLOAD THE CAP ALREADY. JEEZ.) YAY.
Hey Cyndy,

Why did you downrate Crimson Rose to one star on here and Amazon when you had originally rated it two stars last week? Did you read the book again and decide you hated it more? If so, then why did you read it again? I see you also deleted the comment where you stated that you ‘wished to read the sequel when it comes out, since you read an excerpt and it sounded good.’

I’m finished putting up with jealous bitches like you, Cyndy. I guess if this first book goes to shit thanks to bitches like YOU, that’s perfectly fine. I don’t give a fuck anymore, I really, really don’t.

So far, however, your bullshit hasn’t put a tiny dent in CR’s sales.

Robin


LOL, so many screencaps, IDEK. I almost want to buy Crimson Rose to make my eyes bleed like I know they will but skjdsdjfkhjdfhskdfjhsd LOLOLLLLLLL FOREVER. NO SORRY TO SAY.



MOAR ETA:
Saucy, rawr.

++Sauciness via Weepingcock.



LATE NIGHT ELECTRIC BOOGALOO EDIT:
LOL


I SWEAR IT'S THE WANK THAT KEEPS ON GIVING:

Well, duh, the only reason why everyone hates this book is because everyone jumped on the hate bandwagon. Also, Hitler.

More deleted/screencaping fun.

Some clarification, and burn indeed.


EDIT, YET AGAIN:
And what's a wank without sock-puppetry? God I love this woman. Keep up the crazy, please. The lols are great. Where we're been mentioned.

This may be serious business, so I'm sorry.

If you like imagining or writing teacher/student or other Inappropriate Relationships, that's ok. You kink and all. As long as you realize that REAL LIFE DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT. And I haven't read any of the links, but I'm guessing that there's been a demonstrated lack of the fanfic!=real life understanding. D:

It's not that I'm against people writing student/teacher fic, it's just that, within the fic, I would like to have it addressed that it's inappropriate and not entirely okay, and the fic I'm reading, well, the author has given some other teacher a 12-month-pregnancy leave, so it's not the only disconnect from 'the real world doesn't work that way'.

Clearly they're missing a golden oppurtunity for the student-lover to indignantly wage a campaign for maternity rights for his/her teacher-lover! It would be epic and far-reaching! Sociopolitical commentary for the win!

Alas.

I don't know the source material at all, so I can't speak for that, but is it specifically set in America, in the present? Because I'm currently on a twelve month pregnancy leave... actually, here in Canada, we call it parental leave, and technically either myself or my husband could have taken it, or split it between us if we'd chosen to. That's the real world here. I can't speak for the real world of the fic, since I'm not familiar with it.

It's set in the UK, and a UK friend of mine went 'WTF?' at it. And as far as I can tell, the author is also from the UK.
