"Waaah! Someone's reviewing my fic on their journal and it's not NICE!"
Over on LJ, oulangi's been posting her reviews on SS/HP stories.

Ptyx doesn't like it.

"Frankly? I wish I could prevent [info]oulangi from commenting my fics. Not because she's mocking some of the fics she reads (which is a behaviour I don't approve of), but because I wouldn't like people to read my stories through the filter of her reviews. She's intelligent and witty, but she's just a reader. She has her preferences. Your reaction to my story might be very different from hers, but if you start reading it after reading her comment, I'm afraid this will affect your experience. I can't prevent that, I know. But I don't like the whole idea." .

Or does she?

Personally I don't think it's refreshing, because I don't want to be spoiled or be influenced before reading a story. But I confess if she mocked one of those stories that everyone recced and that I hated, I would be very happy. But this is just my bad side, the side that I don't want to show to fandom, because that's not what I think fandom is about."

It's a little late for that, snickerdoodle. You just did.

People, of course, agree. There's even a pseudo-sly 'threat' from kaiz

By the same token, people who post public reviews of fic also have to be prepared for any response...

Heh. Inverydeed! ::veg::>


white_serpent, darkrose and kyuuketsurui give pointing out oulangi's doing this on her own LJ the old college try, to no avail.

ETA: There's responses!


From sevs_lil_secret
I am going to offend some people with this post and at this point, I don't care because there are some on live journal that have forgotten what manners and courtesy mean. This is not targeted to everyone on my flist, most of you are decent and nice people. This... this is for the high and mighty few that think they are holier-than-thou.

So if you want to unfriend me after this, be my guest. If you don't... hugs and all that good stuff. Some of us have forgotten the fandom is supposed to be fun.




HOW DARE PEOPLE THINK IT'S CUTE AND AMUSING FOR SOMEONE TO RIP APART ANOTHER PERSON'S WORK??? THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW AND HOW EXACTLY IS IT A GOOD THING THAT THESE IDIOTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE???

WHEN THE HELL DID FANDOM BECOME A G-DAMN KINDERGARTEN???

IT'S SIMPLE IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE SHUT YOUR FUCKING HOLE


DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET THE FACT THAT THERE ARE REAL PEOPLE BEHIND THESE STORIES? PEOPLE THAT YOU HURT.

LET ME SPELL THIS OUT TO YOU. NO ONE IS GETTING PAID TO DO THIS. WE DO IT FOR FUN, NOT FOR SIMPLE MINDED FUCKWITS TO RIP APART. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE, RIP THINGS APART PRIVATELY, DON'T MAKE IT A GAME TO HURT OTHERS.

HEY YOU KNOW SOMETHING... IF YOU WANT.... COME RIP MY STORY APART, I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS. IT'S MY HOBBY. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME STOP. SO WHY DON'T YOU STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR ASS SMELLS LIKE ROSES AND WRITE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO RIP APART.



ETA 2: If someone would be kind enough to do screencapping, including these links, 'twould be greatly appreciated!

ETA 3: FILTEEREED! But she self-snitched a kinder, gentler tempter-tantrum. Thanks, ptyx!

Original post screencap. Small and hard to read, but there.
