S-Des said:I dig these too. My new one will be out next week and deals with this. I hate the flamers as well (and have met many of them). My story 'After The Fact' has comments that go from 5 (This was the best story ever) to 1 (You are a sick fuck and should die), then back to 5. I never took any of them down, it's pretty hysterical to look at.
The earlier poster who talked about men being angry over being hurt was dead-on. I've received numerous emails from guys telling me horror stories (ones that would be termed ridiculous if I put them in a story). I can understand why they react so vehemently, although I wish they could just say "I didn't like how you worked that out, but you're writing was all right" or whatever. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because I keep posting stories there (three already and another one in the works). However, that category really should have a warning label. I was shocked when I released a Romance story and received almost all postitive comments.
Romance readers can be just as vicious if you fail to absorb and reflect the narrow conventions of that genre. I stay clear of them.
