I usually don't post two times a day...
...but this girl is pissing me off. Let me explain by starting from the beginning.

How many people were actually offended by "Coal Part 1:1st DraftOpen in new Window. when I wrote, "This twisted Cinderella story is not for kids. If you are not eighteen, go read a Buffy fanfic or something"? Pretty standard right? If you're starting a new series that's based on a fairy tale, you want to make sure kids don't get their hands on it aas a responsible author.

Well, this girl has been bugging me all day long because I wrote the warning. Don't get me wrong, one of my BFF's is a Buffy fan, but a lot of them tend to be around fifteen, female, with a tendancy to write fanfiction. At least, all the ones I've encountered on this site. Just take a look at the interactives section. If it isn't Buffy fanfiction, it's Harry Potter or Giantess fantasies. Ewww! Why would I want my work reviewed by a freaking fifteen year old who wouldn't know Tennyson from Lovecraft?

She tells me I need to be nicer to my readers. Like I'm going to take instructions from some kid! If you don't like my sarcasm, don't read my work. Sarcasm is like salt to me. Without it, there's no taste, no flavor. If you're too immature to understand that, then I'd prefer you wouldn't clog my inbox with unneccesary e-mails.

I don't have time to waste on some kid. She's only been on this site eight months, doesn't have a paid membership, and doesn't have anything in her port rated higher than 4/5 stars. Why would I take anything she has to say personal?
