FF.net wank!
So! Over in the Mercedes Lackey section, we have a sockpuppet account that runs around giving concrit. Supposed concrit, since they get canon wrong at times.

Firehead k'Earth reviews a fic called To live a curse (author's capitalisation, not mine).

The author splooges. Everywhere.

Complete with Capslock of Rage!

And just in case the chapter cum Author's note get's deleted:


Okies this is my authors note, please READ before you post the nasty review, unlike the reviewer who shall be nameless. And one more thing before I do my list I AM ENGLISH, I LIVE IN ENGLAND, SO HEY, MOST OF THE SPELLING IS NOT WRONG IT IS IN ENGLISH. NOT AMERICAN. SO PLEASE STOP POINTING THAT OUT. I CANT HELP US SPELLING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
My story was never meant to taken, as exactly like Misty’s books. Darians favourite colour, is brown it says so in Owl Knight (I think)

I know full well how Gryphons, talk, but having a speech impediment myself makes it really hard for me to write, how I talk. I know I said Sage was made by Urtho, and Keisha says he is 400 years old BUT some people have not read the story, for in it clearly says, by Sage himself, HE IS FAR OLDER Yes Companions mind speak, I know that to, but It simply missed it on the preview section and yes I am more then likely going to change it when I have the time now the story is finished.

Okies I know having plant magic isn’t all that wonderful, but the point it, he has a magic that is pure and simple, if you read on, to the later chapters, you see why having a simple and pure magic would amaze them.

As for Sages hair being going to white in a days not weeks like I say, THIS IS BECAUSE HE DYES IT LIKE THE SCOUTS DO. And I never said he was using the node magic all the time.

Who cares if black ribbon and blades are common, I LIKE THEM.

This point is for that nasty reviewers, and the comment about wrist sheaths, THIS IS MY STORY AND SAGE WILL FIGHT WITH WHAT EVER I WANT. The wrist sheaths, are meant for concealing weapons. Perfect for someone who doesn’t want someone else to know about them. And anyway, Skif has them, so there.

And once more, this part is for that reviews. Why couldn’t Urtho make something out of magic, he made the gryphons out of MORTAL things. He made Sage out of magic, which I am sure I explained somewhere in the story, and Sage himself says the line, “He made me to be a channel, I am made of magic, magic before the storms, magic will never fade and neither will I”. Sage was not Mortal or Immortal for he was neither alive or dead.

Now this is my story, and I wrote it with the help of Tessabe, a wonderful and lovely beta checker. This story WAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER, be like Misty, she owns and thought of all of it, I am merely nabbing her idea, for my own ends. This was never meant to be perfect. It was my story.

So please, I would love some NICE reviewers, for a change, someone who can see the story for what is was meant to be, and not for what it isn’t or hasn’t got. And if you didn’t like it then tough, no-one made you read it. And if you don’t like what I wrote and want to review with something bad, then don’t. this story was for people who like to read and see what other people have w written, not for people who want to pick moan and groan if that is what you want to do then GO AWAY.

To all those that like the story and what I wrote, then thank you and please feel free to leave a review at the door. And come again soon.


And just a question... since myself and another author got mentioned in the second Firehead k'Earth review:

Does that make us the BNFs? Or just the evil bitch canon/grammar nazis?

*confused*

First, is there a difference I'm overlooking between "I should hope so" and "I should hope so"? Because I looked and looked at Firehead's comment without finding the distinction she says makes so much difference. I feel like Leibniz.

Second, I'm not terribly familiar with UKEnglish as written by semiliterate teens, but I am really much too familiar with USEnglish as written by ditto, and this author's splooginess is not visibly in another dialect. It even has the Commas of Doom, right where a little tweeny USA kid raises her voice? In that like-me-please way? Between? You know? The subject and the verb? And elsewhere? (Where I'm putting all these question marks, which I'll stop now, sorry.)

Third, my money's on grammar nazis. Sorry about the iPod. On the other hand, welcome to the fold, sister!

Answer to number 1:

Ff.net in their reviews lose all extra letters. The second "I should hope so." should probably read something like "I sshould hope ssso." Since gryphons do have that accent.

and on the third:

Heh I'll settle for grammar nazi!

I just read "UKEnglish" as "UKE English" and wondered when ukes started using their own form of English. I think I need sleep.

Classic typo from Firehead k'Earth's most recent review:

"Urtho cannot make thongs out of nothing. Simple as that. That power is reserved for the Gods"

There's really no answer to that...

I know full well how Gryphons, talk, but having a speech impediment myself makes it really hard for me to write, how I talk.

...

I need someone to explain to me how her speech impediment makes it hard for her to write, and what in god's name that has to do with how Lackey's fictional mythological creatures talk. Am I not parsing that sentence right? Would it make more sense if I wrote all the words on magnets and tossed them at the refrigerator?

OK, fellow HP fans, raise your hand if you're as amused as I am by a British fan being bitched at for not having her fic American-picked (Yank-picked? what would you call it?) for a change.

I was reading the author's note, and laughing at the mistakes, when I got distracted by something. Something terrible.

This was how many of the canon references I actually understood.

Despite not having read a Lackey book in years. Despite despising the Valdemar series and wondering WTF I was thinking when I liked them as a teenager.

I am very sad, and ashamed, and am going away now to hide under a rock.

Since when does Mercedes Lackey allow fanfiction that isn't posted in the fanzine she (or whoever it was) runs/ran? Why hasn't she asked ff.n to take stuff based on her books down?

And the comma-abuse, it burns. I want to take a red pen to my monitor.
