Oh... My god. Seriously. What is it about my stories that attract stupid people? Now, I'm not saying all my readers are stupid, but there is an alarmingly, increasingly large amount of them. For example, this morning, I got a review on MM for my fanfic CIS (Coma Induced Stupidity, YYH/IY crossover, HeKa pairing, beta'd by KibaSin, for those who haven't read it) That told me, "You're moving too fast with the romance", when there really isn't any yet! In fact, and yes ladies and gentlemen, this is a spoiler, they won't even like eachother to start with! Because Hiei's kind of a jerk (yes, he is, and I don't care if you get mad and ignorantly deny it, 'cause it's true. That's why we love him) and Kagome never did put up with assholes well.

I also had a review at one point, from the same story, telling me to "please make the characters seem more real". .......... Um.... A) They. Are. Fictional. Characters... with powers! *dramatic 'get a clue' stance* And B) Read it or don't! Don't nag!

But that's not the point. I've also had a review from someone that read Agony for the Lost (that HeKa contest entry, you know the one) that wasn't satisfied. Then... why. read. it? Um... Hello? Anyone else see a pattern here?

And I haven't even started on FFN yet.

Here's the summary for my fic Captive:

To hold a gun is one thing; to hold the lives of people in your hands is entirely different. Peace may be something completely unattainable. Eventual VashxAbel Story told in snippets, rated M for safety.

'Snippets' was enboldened for a reason. A snippet is a short one-shot/moment in a story that tells a little story on it's own, leaving the reader to make up their own conclusions. This is the review I got:

Listen well. You ain't a half bad writer to be honest. You're good with grammar and spelling. Your sentences don't get redundant nor do they sound forced. This is a cheery little fic but I do have two problems. First, I don't know why Abel and Asta are with Vash besides some vague mumblings about a ship. And second your chapters are far too short. I'd say you'd have to at least quadruple the amount of stuff you get in each chapter.

Let me remind you that there is a grand total of four chapters for this fic, with a little over 1000 words total. And also, if they'd cared to check out the rest of my fics, they'd see that it was done on purpose. Because, honey, I'm sorry, but I don't usually write short chapters.

Like, ever.

Of course, I also get really retarded reviews like "ignore the anime people tied up behind me" or "... and Hiei stopped by, saying..." But I don't mind them. Everyone's aloud to get a little silly, but really? To be that stupid... How can you honestly live with yourself without A) committing suicide in shame or B) committing genocide for the same reason? Oh, I know! Maybe you should go visit the white padded cell- no. That's not fair. I actually like some crazy people, and quite a few of them are fucking geniuses.

Now, I'm not claiming to be an awesome writer (ignore random bursts of ego), but I am getting there. And I don't mind reviews suggesting a different way to do this or that that could be easier/more understanding, 'cause my betas all know that I'm freaking horrible with wording and the like, but I do not appreciate self-righteous people, especially when they're wrong. The least they can do is figure it out and go and apologize!

I was raised that you think things out before acting, though I do occasionally act out of that (I'm only human, unfortunately). But I will go back and apologize. I can be rude, yes, but I like to think that, at least in person, I have a little discretion with that.

But still... Before I get myself too much more stressed out over the idiocy of humanity... I shall go watch or read something StarGate-esque.

Have a wonderful day!
