shitty review

[amalthia]

Okay I've gotten some critiques in the past over my stories. I kind of expect it and for the most part people are rather nice about pointing out issues they have with what I do in my stories. but someone really stole the cake on mean-spirited and trollish feedback. I just hope Restricted Section does delete reviews because I really don't want to see that review again.

The good news is that for the most part people seem to enjoy my story Spellbound and for someone that says they hate my writing this one reviewer sure spent a lot of time complaining about the story.

I was really surprised by this review, if it can even really be called a review. It hurts because some of the stuff she pointed out is valid but honestly there are nicer ways of pointing out simple mistakes.

she definately does not get brownie points.

that isn't a review, it's a teenage troll spurting nasty trollish things and giggling like mad while typing things like
There's this snazzy new invention called a SCHOOLBAG! Every student at Hogwarts has one except one of the richest. Fancy that.

I like Spellbound very much :-)

yeah troll is a good description. I keep thinking, what a bitch. I'm glad you liked Spellbound. :) I do too. :)

This isn't going to keep me from writing, I'm mostly just aghast and amazed that someone can be this mean, and if she wasn't such a bitch I wouldn't mind her pointing out where I fell off the track of staying in canon. Though considering what I wrote I don't think I care if I'm in canon or not. :) hehe

I'm sure the mods of restricted section will let you delete that "review".

Things that point to trollhood or rather a sad sad person in need of a life:
She writes about herself: The creature I'm most like is Dobby the House-Elf but I don't refer to myself in third person
Hobby/Interest: Figure Skating

Hah! Wasn't there an a girl in Figure Skating who attacked her oponent with a steel bar? See? Defininitly a troll. Don't mind her.
Keep writing! Love Draco owwies.

i think the crazy figure skater was Tanya Harding, could be wrong about that though. :) Well I wrote to the mods and asked for their help deleting the review, am still waiting for a reply...I don't mind if it takes a day or two...just not three or four.

I told my husband about this troll so it felt nice to vent and then I had to tell him about the other two people who left some really nice feedback and he was happy about that. :)

Did I tell you I'm writing SGA and SG-1 fan fiction? I don't know if you read those fandoms or not but it's definately kept me distracted from finishing the last and final part of Spellbound. why do Joe Flanigan and David Hewlett have to be so hot? :)

Sorry about her. Some people are horrible when it comes to reviewing on-line. Just rant about the nastiness, accept any valid points hidden in the bile and move on.

[amalthia]

I'm moving on. :)

Greetings...

I found your HP fic (http://amothea.slashcity.com/fanfiction.html) quite by accident and I just wanted to comment and tell you how much I enjoyed reading what you had so far. It was quite literally Spellbound! to say the least. I didn't even get up and go to the bathroom (as much as I wanted to) until I was done reading it and I hope to see more of this story soon.

Thank you. You have simply made my day : )

[amalthia]

thanks so much for the feedback. :) I'm really glad you enjoyed the story and I hope to get part 7 finished soon.
