I used to be such a nice person.

K pointed out that there's an anonymous meme going around where you can tell writers what you *really* think of their writing, which you know, hey, go ahead. Personally, I'm always getting abused anyway whether it's anonymous, or in sekrit (which really not sekrit at all), or to my face, so if you're feeling that need, knock yourself out. I didn't actually think anyone needed a *day* or some shit, but hey, I'll even start.

[Name here] is not a very good writer. Actually, she fucking sucks. Same stories, same characters, same characterization. I mean, damn, what happened to all the mass murder? Can you just get a new story or something? Also, you are so not all that. I don't know why people like your stories. Are you famous for sucking someone's cock or something? I could totally do better. And I spell better than you too. And, I make less typos. So there. Also, where the fuck is my chai latte? You are fucking fired.

ETA: I adore you all madly for rushing to my aid, but I think what I just don't get about this exercise is the simple idea of if you don't like something, why the fuck are you reading it? Is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to? I highly doubt that, so why go around being needlessly rude and cruel? That's just fucked up.

I actually filled one of those out--I didn't flame her though because I'm not bunny-boiler or anything--and offered some concrit because I'd been too lazy in the past. The meme dictates anonymous posting, so I did it anonymously, only feeling vaguely guilty, because I sort of feel the same way you do about the entire idea.

Then I read this post and immediately went back and signed the damn thing because I felt like an ass.

Way to make me feel all righteous and true.

Oh yeah: your shit's good. I love Ozymandias from like three fucking years ago. You know I like it because it's been so long and I've wiped out more brain cells than I had to begin with since then and I still remember the damn thing. I mean, shit, I still watched Smallville then.
