Well, I guess they told me...

Well, I got home from Christmas with my family today only to this lovely review on my story "I'll be Holmes for Christmas" on ff.net:

euphoracle:God, poor Mycroft. He should be imprisoned for daring to bring his
family together for Christmas. What a bastard! Of course his mother loves him
least! Was this written by a thirteen year old?One who hates

I think it is possible to delete the review after the fact. Don't let it get you down - I've gotten crap on FF.net for writing stuff people just flat out don't like as a pairing or a genre. I warned them too. Still *eyeroll* people are going to be people.

*hug*

Thanks arwen *hugs*

I kinda thought it was funny more than anything, but you can't help that little twist in your gut.

I found out it was waiting for me to approve the review before it posted, for some reason. So I did, because I'm not a coward :D

FF.net is a really crap place to post fic. The most popular stories there are the worst ones in each given fandom, there is random hate all over the place, and quality work often gets hit with a disproportionate number of flames. I stopped posting there years ago because the readership is very young, very rude, very excited about the prospect of being anonymous on the net, and very stupid.

Try to not let it down. That person obviously just want to stir shit. *hug*

(Btw, your card arrived today. :D Thank you so much! <3 I'm wearing the button as we speak.)

Hi, Kat! Thank you, it amused me more than anything, but you can't help that sinking feeling you get whenever it happens, you know?

I'm so glad you liked the card and pin! I responded to your email too, I'm sorry I didn't respond in a timely manner. Hope things are well!
