*sweatdrops* I see what you mean ^^; Now she (?) changed the rating to PG-13. Still she shouldn't be swearing so hard, ne? I mean, all the stories (except for R-rated ones) show up and lots of young people read them.... ><

Shite....maybe I should tone down my fic as well. I don't want to rate it R, because then it won't show up.... grrr....
But I wonder who made Neko-miko change her ratings. The actual story doesn't have any cussing at all - it was only in the review board. Still...not the most impressed by that one.

Nope - you're right. Since the author is dead set on rejecting any constructive advice or opinion, there's nothing we can do but stand on the side lines and laugh. I've been at ff.net HxH section for about two years (Untitled was published in May 2002, but I was lurking around and was actually THERE when they established a HxH category) and have seen real flamers (quoll's wife anyone?) but I was so proud of all the authors that they reacted with maturity and dignity and after a few terse words, ignored the idiot flamer. But this author is a bloody disgrace, mouthing such foul, foul language. In all the time that I've been at ff.net, I've never seen someone with such a violent attitude - yes, his reply to Zamtre was not only racist but contained a THREAT OF VIOLENCE. Because her precious fic was criticized! Oh my god! The horror. So I'm proud - even of you Yumiko when you replied to Hades - because compared to her, you are extremely polite and civil. Anyway, I reviewed her fic anyway just to see what kind of reply I'd get - got a nice one...but the author didn't show that she had actually understood what my criticisms were about. Would you believe that she actually prefers one-line reviews?! The people at ff.net.... This author is worse than a flamer...and Zamtre wasn't even flaming! Yomi

I guess I should ignore that author =P I have better things to do than read her (VERY) rude replies =P About Yomi-san's story - when I first saw the rating in the beginning of chap2, I thought whether or not I should read it, because I don't read R-rated writings.... lol

Well, yes, the author IS from America, so I guess arrogance, inability to communicate and ignorance didn't really surprise me. I think I don't mind if someone hates you for giving a bad review - it's only natural, but come on now, implied threats of violence? Over a bad review?
Puh-leaze, get a life!

Yes...I've seen 'Quoll's wife' reviews before -____- quite unbelieveable actually. Didn't one of them said 'You made Kuroro gay! go to hell, kuroro is mine!' something like that ^^; I was like "What the??"

Wo-ow...just checked out what u guys were talking about. That was so uncalled for! She was merely sprouting nonsense when she said that "luv it or hate it? please review and tell me what you think" trash! Ugh, that makes me so disgusted. It was like--what did she expect? People to bow down before her oh-so-mighty writing?? GEEZ! Oh dear heavens...I didn't read Zamtre's first review but it didn't change the fact that she was utterly RUDE! Sure, flamers are bad...but do authors have to sink to their level just to get even? (Ack! Sorry if this is off-topic!) XD
