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'll bet Iris Wildthyme got turned into a Tinkerbell Jesus Dobby TimeLord, too, except she was pink and had fairy wings, and also she had an awesome hat and she actually did stuff! SO THERE DOCTOR SHE IS TOTALLY BETTER THAN YOU OMG!

And then the Master fell in love with her and she saved him from dying, but then he proposed and she rejected him and he killed himself. Again. IT WAS SO SAD POOR IRIS! :(

No no! Not pink. OMG. Don't you know anything?? She had rainbow colors. Because she was that awesome! Sheesh! Bringing light and happiness and harmony wherever she went.

Poor Simms!Master. First his wife shoots him and then Iris rejects him. Wait, wait! I know! That wasn't really his wife killed. It was Iris pretending because she already knows the outcome and zomg, she can't let an innocent woman die when she can just regen.

....my brain hurts now. A lot. A real lot. Ow.
