Current mood: *sporfle!*
Entry tags:authors, fandom: doctor who, reviews, writers are often pompous douches

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

The thing is, it was helpful. The review said that Magrs was trying to do too much and it came off unevenly. Or that's how I interpreted it.
