Blatant Flaming!
So I write on Fanfiction.net. I have a story and the link to it is in a previous blog.
Well, I got a lot of good reviews. They were things like "This is good" and "Write more please!" and stuff like that.
Then I came home from school and saw this:

I don't know about you, but I think it's incredibly rude to just start flaming someone else's work! I made it clear that my character, Hayze, has a personality complex that makes her overreact to things. I waited until chapter 8 for them to realize that they liked each other and get together! And this is supposed to be a short story! I put a warning on the Author's Notes in the first chapter that the characters were, in fact, OOC. I mean, look at that list! This person was being rude for the sake of putting me down, and when I get reviews like that I tend to just stop writing it altogether. I don't want to do that, but it happens every time! And they put a parody of my story in a story of theirs without my permission where everything goes horribly wrong and the character dies! And what's wrong with an original name? I know people named Hayze, and Cross is a common last name! This person flames every story they see that has an OC in it! Cliches are inevitable with everything anyway. And really, who does that? It's just too mean for words! It's my story so I'm entitled to do whatever I want with it as long as I have the little disclaimer attatched that states I do not own Ouran. So what's this person's deal?
I don't know, do you think I should report him/her or something?

its just someone who thinks they're all that/ has literally nothing to do with their time..
Seriously, he went through so much effort to tell you he didnt like it. When I dont like something, I...stop reading it.

I think it's funny that they say it's TL;DR but then said I got to the point too quickly.

Er, if he/she has used you characters/ideas/plot in a story of their own, is that not a form of plagiarism?

TL;DR paragraphs was good ;D
But unfortunately some people are just like that

"Unfounded and Wish-Fulfillment Character Pairing" oh come on that is the whole point of fanfiction. meh.
report the bastard D: cos that is just plain rude + there is really no need for it tbh.

yeah you should report them because they're obviously being rude and it might be against the rules or something
btw I laughed at "TL;DR paragraphs" ._.
