If you've ever posted a fic and waited for the feedback to hit,

then THIS is worth reading. A veritable rollercoaster look at the puzzling and indecipherable mystery that is your typical fanfiction reviewer; you'll sympathize I promise.


On a similar but unrelated vein (if there is such a thing?), I've discovered another thing about ff.net that really irks me: people who create an author registration but who don't post any fanfic.

They just do it so they can have signed reviews and a favorites list. I think it's inconsiderate of them, because it puts extra strain on an already overworked website system, and does so without giving back anything in return to the community. It's parasiticial and unnecessarily so, when you aren't required to be an author to read the fanfic anyway.

Since then, I've discovered you can't delete the damn thing, so there it sits, unused and unloved since I rarely hit ff.net.

You can't delete your profile? Huh. That seems pretty sillly of the website (though right in line with their typical stupidity), not allowing people to delete their author membership. If they did, they'd have less to deal with.
