Does everyone know what time it is?
IT'S WHO TIME!!! This report was shamelessly snagged from 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.

Magrs continues to miss the point of reviewers

	I like the idea of Iris because she's just. so. ridiculous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And yet, the author seems to take her entirely (too) seriously. Or is this more of the infamous so-dry-and-deadpan-you-can't-ever-tell brand of British humour? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Plus she's a drunken Katy Manning in a silly hat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But does she pose nekkid with Daleks as well? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's Iris, of course she does. =D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Seconded! If you're not okay with OTT and cracky, why are you in Who fandom? Plus, that one fic where she's the obnoxious n00b on the Renegade Time Lords mailing list made me laugh uncontrollably, so I'm kind of fond of her just for that. (Reply to this)(Parent)
