Does everyone know what time it is?
IT'S WHO TIME!!! This report was shamelessly snagged from [info]wank_report. *throws cheese to mousie* I thought it was time for some more author rage. Enjoy!

FYI: I have screencaps of most of this so let me know if anything goes 'missing'.

Author Paul Magrs (as in published, hired-for-money author of real books, thank you) gets the cruelest most entitled review ever written in the history of all humanity. http://unreality-sf.net/reviews/doctorwho/2/findreplace.html

Naturally, Magrs expresses outrage on Twitter. As published authors should always do. http://twitter.com/paulmagrs/status/26729418277 After all, how many books has that guy written? http://twitter.com/paulmagrs/status/26730575254 How many have YOU?

The author of review apologizes. http://brendan-moody.livejournal.com/317662.html

Too late, buddy. Magrs still has chafed butt. http://twitter.com/paulmagrs/status/27030688395 You see, Magrs loves fan dialogues with real fans, but not mean ones. Why can't you be civil like him. http://twitter.com/paulmagrs

Others weigh in.

This report is brought to you by Doctor Who fandom: wanking since 1963.

Magrs continues to miss the point of reviewers

Not being overly familiar with the Jo Grant character, at first I kept reading this as "Jo Brand."

And Holy Shit, a Dr. Who novel starring Jo Brand traveling through time? YES I WANT THAT NOW. But then I realized I misread the name, and now I feel cheated.

Am I alone in thinking we shouldn't pay as much attention to reviewers who've never written anything themselves?

Well, not really alone, no. But the company you keep is appalling.
