So I've gotten flames before, most of them downright sailors where their question marks/exclamation points stretch the length of California. And you know, those are alright, they make me laugh uproariously. I haven't gotten such vigorous ones until I kind of joined the Silent Hill fandom. (For shame, I know) I do what I do with every other fandom: Sit in a corner and dish out my crap. If you like it, fine. If you don't like it, great. I don't frigging care. I don't even care when you voice how much you dislike my stuff--if you have a right to like it, you have a right to hate it too.

But I just...I believe it's just one person who's doing this, but this is really unnecessary. If you dislike my crap that much you DON'T KEEP READING MY CRAP and you don't keep accusing me of hating what I like. Rocket science I know.

Most of you know I am a diehard Eileen/Henry fan. Individually as well I love Henry and Eileen just they way they are by themselves.

Could anyone tell me how the stories I write suggest that I don't love them?

In fact the only Silent Hill things I have written have been for Silent Hill 4, and have been either about Eileen or Henry or both. See, this person I've been bothered by lately apparently has a misguided belief that I absolutely hate them. Aha, oh well. Obviously they're just doing it to be a dick, but you know I still can't grasp that concept.

Here's what they've said to me:

Review for 'Rebirthing':
The character Walter murders a bunch of people who had nothing to do with what happen to him and the character Henry tries to save some of them... but yet he's the one that gets bashed?

It's really up to the player if they want to look through the hole and watch Eileen... so the person who's f/u/c/ked up here... is you.

Review for 'Delicate Puzzle':
These stories are better when the write is a fan of not only the couple but the characters as well. It fails because the writer for some dumb reason hates the characters and keeps bashing them by making up idiotic reasons to hate them.

It also fails because the writer spams and flames others


The thing that bothers me the most is that these flames are posted by anonymous users--people without or not using accounts to comment on my stories. I can very easily delete these and block anonymous reviews and just be on my way...but I don't want to do that. It sucks sometimes when you want to participate in a website you hardly use and you don't want an account for but you need it to comment or something. I have friends there that don't want accounts that still comment on my stories. I just don't want to close the door to an option for an open, public review.

The other reason why it bothers me is I want to talk to this person who saying these things. Not bash them or tell them how much they confuse me (mostly confuse...it's like a backhanded compliment) I just want to talk and see why and how it is my stories/comments seem to apparently hate these characters. I just want to talk and know. If it's just a simple thing where it's one conversation, a bittersweet conclusion, then a good-bye, I'll be fine with that. Hell, I'll be fine if they don't even reply at all, as long as they know that I want to talk to them.

Instead of actually trying I'm creating a whine journal. Isn't that nice?

I don't know, I just really don't grasp the concept of not being nice for no particular reason whatsoever. And I've been really part of the internet for four years. I've had my year of spam and flame. I'm over and done with that. It's totally pointless.

I am slightly offended by this because one of their reviews was for Delicate Puzzle, a story that I wrote when I was frankly quite upset and angry, and a story that, you know, I really like and probably won't even edit. Those stories are few and far in between and I kind of treasure them a lot. That's where it offended me the most. I really don't want to block anonymous reviews, as A: It closes doors for other people and B: It's like giving up. And uh...I don't like to give up in the face of someone without polite chemicals in their brain.

So yeah, basically a whine/rant journal because when I looked at my inbox this morning I saw such a review. From an anonymous person that I can't talk to.

Oh well.

Back to make-up work.
