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

	For those who have read this book (Find and Replace), is the title relevant at all to the story? I just have this image of the author foaming at the mouth typing in random phrases into the "Find & Replace" box in Microsoft Word and calling it a story. (Reply to this)(Thread)

You know all that neat stuff that you thought the Doctor did, back in the 60s? Actually, it was all done by Time Lady Iris Wildthyme. Who was and is much, much cooler than the Doctor could ever hope to be. Let me tell you how awesomely cool she was...

	I just read this filtered through a chorus of "Oh. My. GOD." as delivered by John Hillerman as Higgins from Magnum PI. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Find and Replace is actually an audio play :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, it still needs a script (I hope). In which case, es_'s commentary still applies. (Reply to this)(Parent)
