And in today’s edition of What Not To Say To Fanfic Authors, we have this shiny clusterfuck.

Let the record state that this, right here, is not an example of criticism, constructive or otherwise, for all that it purports to be: above all else, it’s an example of entitlement. If a reader pays for one of my books and hates it, they’re completely within their rights to blog about how much it sucked and post negative reviews wherever, but the one thing they absolutely don’t get to do is demand that I retract or rewrite the story to better suit their tastes. Like, c’mon. What are you, new?
