rare (well, these days) fannish remark
Sep. 2nd, 2009 08:24 amIf you're reviewing somebody's story, REVIEW THE GODDAMN STORY IN FRONT OF YOU. Don't launch into what you don't like about another character that isn't even in the story.
This sort of thing used to drive me batshit crazy with regularity in the POTC fandom, though I have long since learned it's not limited there. The only possible reason to leave a comment like this is to piss off any other commenter coming by who doesn't agree with you. Seriously, I've gotten to the point where seeing something like this will usually make me hit the "back" button and leave no FB at all (and 95 percent of the time, it isn't the writer's fault somebody responded to the story this way).
(No, I'm not giving a link. Sadly, I don't have to; there are plenty of instances of this all over various fandoms.)
