“I also thought [past tense] was normally how people wrote their stories… But you know, the people in my writing group are published… so I just didn’t say anything, because they were published and all big and mighty, and I am just a small fanfiction writer. Like this is an example they yelled at me for:

My writing: She swung her axe with a mighty roar, colliding with her enemy and bashing into their armor.

Their example: She swings her axe roaring loudly, hitting her enemy as it broke their armor.”

“I couldn’t care less how you feel about my grammar use. I’m having fun and that’s what matters.”

And another author insists that I’m doing reviewing wrong without providing anything new.

“If I built, and designed, a beautiful mansion and it collapses down a sinkhole the whole world will know.”

Edit: A new revenge review snuck in at the last minute!

Someone from back when I first started discovered I was still at it and gave me the same non-advice everyone always does.

“It’s amazing that you don’t know anything about writing.” Responses are otherwise appreciative, however.
