“Not to mention the amounts of YOUR FanFiction’s that have flaws and even contain language in the summary? Talk about my summaries not having any detail, you need to look at the large variety of yours. Literally one of them only has a few words that doesn’t tell the reader a thing!” This was followed by absolutely no clarification, naturally.

“Stop poking around at other people’s grammar, especially if yours is in the same state. No one is perfect. Not even you, as you have typed “you’re” as opposed to “you are”, for instance.”
Honey vs. Vinegar Responses

The Other Pokeauthors, Part 101
Responses are mostly appreciative.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 102
A revenge review, and otherwise polite responses.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 103
Very few responses today, but the ones I get are pretty good. I guess I’ll just have to assume everyone’s being chill!
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 104
Super chill responses today. The worst I’ve got is someone upset at Blaze’s review abuse.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 105
“And since part of your penname is Elmo yeah dude Elmo is for kids not adults. So grow up!”
Responses are otherwise appreciative, including a few messages in support of me re: the Blaze conflict.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 106
“As for the whole ‘world’ thing, majority of the time, people don’t bother with that, because it limits who reads the stories since people don’t generally use that search. If I don’t identify it to a world, that allows more people to read it.” THIS IS WHY I HAVE TO DO THIS.
Random Potshot and Obligative Review: Quivering Lips
Someone who was not Dragon’s Blaze left a counter-review on The Two Colors, Pink and Blue:
“Ok first off don’t listen to this idiot below me Elmo. He rags on every new writer and only targets people with smaller stats. If you look at the stories he’s written well let’s just say he doesn’t practice what he preaches.“
I hoped I could get some reviewing out of them or at least an explanation of what sucked about my stories, but alas this was not to be.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 107
Very reasonable responses today, including some nice discussion about geopolitics and worldbuilding.
A Wild Author Appears!
Someone unrelated to Blaze’s posse but who was still taking random potshots at me abruptly decided to contact me out of the blue. I didn’t learn much, other than that people continue to love ceding the moral high ground.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 108
Calm responses today, including one that seems genuinely interested in my opinions.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 109
Mixed bag today. Several people are reasonable, but one completely loses it because I obviously knew one of the authors I reviewed plagiarized their story.
Pokeauthors Special Spotlight: Another Verse
“… You understand that you aren’t very loved on this site, and if I’ll try to think on and accept your criticism you will have to do the same and try to improve your ways, before starting with the story that ‘people are insensitive’.”
Someone drinks Blaze’s Kool-Aid and decides people wanting to burn me at the stake is proof I deserve to be burned at the stake. They proceed to tell me to repent and mend my ways without actually telling me how, as per usual.
