New Irrational Hatred

[dragonspell]

Have developed a new irrational hatred. When searching for possible fics to read, reading the summaries, finding the phrase "Please R&R!" "Please Read and Review!" or all its other permeations can send me into an unexplainable rage. Either that or I scroll right on by.

Oh. And never buy ANYTHING from Best Buy. Anything worthwhile, at any rate. The fuckers have messed up twice already just trying to replace an AC converter for my laptop. I'm dealing with idiots.

In other news, have started watching House again. ...May explain the irrational hatred of idiots...

I agree. It smells of desperation which makes me instinctively withdraw.

Precisely. =D And it's usually a warning for pure suckiness up ahead.

I don't like that either. I think it's up for the reader to review or not review, leave alone to read or not to read. I don't write for review-payment, but for fun. Sure, I love reviews, everybody does, but I can fully understand when somebdoy doesn't feel like doing it.

It's not that I don't like leaving reviews. Not that I like leaving them either. As an author, I understand how wonderful feedback is. And as an author, I realize how annoying it can be to think you actually have feedback only to realize it's just a "write moar! Squee!"

It's more for me, like what Rhi said. That little phrase smacks of desperation, fangirlism, and just general suckitude.

Not to mention, it's just something that the teenyboppers tend to put in their summaries not even really knowing what it means. They don't actually want REVIEWS. They want fawning. They're looking for the "write moar! Squee!" and that's all they really want.

Even when their fics suck hardcore.
