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

Anonymous reviewers I have a mixed relationship with. I've gotten some GREAT reviews from them and some not so great ones. Actually, the ones I've gotten the most shit in have been ones from people SIGNED in. Usually because *GASP* how dare I have the gall to write that pairing?! It's disgusting! You shouldn't be writing this!
Seriously, I warned for the pairing. It's in the summary and its in the header. Are you not capable of reading that reviewer?
I vote to send this person to Silent Hill.
