So I checked my email today

I had two notifications from Archive Of Our Own, both from the same person, on two of my different stories.

This is what I responded with;

Don’t leave rude comments, kids. That’s not how you get more fic updates.

I get your point, but have you ever had a fucki gn stick-in-the-mud reply like this when you’re in the middle of a rant?

You’re not cool. You’re an asshole.

This isn’t someone being cruel, this is someone frustrated that you ended your fic in the middle of it.

If you can’t take criticism, get off the fucking internet.

I’m sorry, but if you’re getting hours of someone’s blood, sweat, and tears poured into a story for your enjoyment for FREE you shouldn’t fucking complain about a slow update pace.

As for the other comment about “ending the fic the way I did” to an extent I get that. Sometimes and ending frustrates you, but it had no intentions of writing more for that fic. I never did. That fic was DONE. Matter of fact, it was based off a god damn prompt, I ended that fic where the prompt ended because I didn’t want to extend the story past the original idea.

If you can’t accept that people will not appreciate useless petty entitled  whining (cuz that’s what reviews like that are, not “criticism”) then you should get off the fucking internet. 

Who the hell raised these people?

it was a fanfic that made me realize this but.

so the stormtroopers right. if they think u didnt fire ur blaster they inspect it & if you didnt they send you for reconditioning.

maybe. thats why. they never. HIT. anything.

they dont want to be punished but they dont really want to hurt anybody.

maybe.

DUDE

well this is an entirely strange new level of sadness

This has been observed in conflicts through out the last century and a half or so, Soldiers deliberately firing high and missing.

This is absolutely true and was a “problem” they sought to fix with deliberate conditioning in the Vietnam War era.  You can read a fascinating book about it here.

the fact this actually is a thing makes me want to throw up. @vagabondprophet
