Anonymous Reviewers have truly found a new low.

Is it me or are anonymous reviewers super cocky? Like really, I was reading the reviews to one fanfiction in the YGO 5D's fandom and my god. It's a good story but the writer's going through some shit in her life and people really have no respect. If she's lying or not doesn't matter because every writer I understand hits a stop in their life. Hell I have my stories on a permanent hiatus because I have no inspiration for any of them right now. And said author has apologized profusely.  This is why I don't allow anonymous reviews.

If you would like to read the reviews here's the link to the story.

It is truly appalling how "fans" of a story treat an author. Sad thing is, they can't be reported. Really, who calls themselves a fan of something if that's how you treat said thing you're a fan of. Has this ever happened to anyone? I mean I  understand people want updates, but as a fanfiction writer myself, last time I checked, the story doesn't belong to said "fans". A true fan stays with said fanfic to the end. Sorry...I really needed to rant about it.


Edit: Some reviews have been taken down, but now said reviewer is harping on me? o.e Really...what part of "This story is on Permanent Hiatus due to loss of inspiration" does troll person not understand? Do I need to pay a toll to shut this person up? And it's the same person too. You should see the reviews this person put up now. Makes me all nice and pissed inside. =D

Uhh.. I just replied to your comment, but my reply got screened. I don't know why.. is there a rule that you can't put links in your comments anymore? I'm confused.

Nope, it's like nothing else. It's called Irn Bru, and the joke is that it's made from iron ("Irn") girders. There's loads of great adverts for it on Youtube.

Sweet. It doesn't really have an identifiable flavour.. the website says it's ingredients are "carbonated water, sugar (carbohydrate), citric acid, flavourings (including caffeine and quinine), preservative (E211), colours (E110, E124), ammonium ferric citrate (0.002%)", but it's not like root beer or cola or lemonade or anything else I ever tasted. It's great!

I love his voice in Prime - unique enough to be "Starscream-y" but growly enough to be.. mmm. Nice~

You might get it in a specialty shop.. where're you from?

I just googled it - "St Andrews Pub & Restaurant 140 West 46th St" sells Irn Bru, so if you ever pass that place by, pop in and grab some. You never know - you might really like it!

Well, maybe one day you'll taste it. It's a very Scottish drink - it's the best-selling soda here (even though we don't call it soda), even better than Coca Cola.
