~*~REVIEWER’S CORNER~*~
(The scene is a rather small, dark room.
In the very center of the room, a small light shines directly onto a
young girl about 15 years old. She
has on a green, spaghetti-strapped tank top, dark-colored denim jeans, and a
thin, black headband holding back her medium-length, dark-blonde hair. A silver necklace around her neck
spells out the word “AUTHOR”. She
is sitting a rather small wooden desk in a black beanbag chair, facing the
reader)
Me: Well, well…I said I was going to get flames, and
guess what? I got some more flames! You people just don’t learn, do you? Anyways, as promised, I shall give my
full opinion on what rude things people have to say here about what I write. I can understand giving your opinion if
you feel I wasn’t fair to a certain character/couple/etc…. but some people just
go too far! Unfortunately, Rachy
is off, and I quote, “Liberating the items from the mall” ( ^_^’), so she
cannot help me MST these flames this time.
Therefore, may I introduce my special guest here in Reviewer’s
Corner…Quatre!
Quatre: (suddenly appears in the room, seated on a
teal-colored beanbag chair next to the Author) why me?
Me: Two reasons…1) The flames came from your chapter
of the surveys…. and 2) You’re my favorite character
Quatre: you have a very cruel way of showing that
Me: Don’t you want to have an opinion of what people
say about you?
Quatre: …what are they saying?
Me: you’ll see…..
FLAME NUMBER 1:
Flamer: *~Star^_^Pixie~*
Hey!!!!!!!!!
Quatre: …is for horses
I can’t
believe you…
Me: I can.
How could
you do this to me???????
Me: easy…I sat down at the computer and started
typing.
*starts sobbing* I SUPPORT ¤§*~4XD~*C§¤!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Me: Good for you, hon…I don’t
Quatre: wait a sec…she’s flaming you because you
didn’t write about her favorite couple?
Me: yup
Quatre:…which is me and…::shudders::…DOROTHY?!?!?
Me: yup
Quatre: but you HATE Dorothy
Me: I know…and if this person knew ANYTHING about me
before flaming, she would have known that I HATE both her and the
coupling….as do many others on fanfiction.net
*CONTINUES SOBBING*
Quatre: a little over-dramatic, are we now?
Me: well, usually, no…but for something like this,
yes.
Quatre: (raises eyebrow) oh?
And when is it NOT?
Me: ^_^ let’s just say I’m not called “Drama Queen”
for nothing
Quatre: -_-()
They are
my favorite pairing especially when Dorothy is my fav character!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: Once again, kudos to you for admitting it, but I
can’t stand her. Do you have any
idea how much effort if took to not even bash her in this fic…
Quatre: (in shock) YOU DIDN’T BASH HER?!?!?!
Me: not this time…I even COMPLIMENTED
her…[somewhat]….
Quatre: (starts checking her pulse and taking her
temperature) my god you must be sick or something!
Me: (spits out thermometer) naw…I just decided to
give her and her very few fans a break, seeing as she is the most despised
person in the entire show, and I was in a good mood so I figured I’d be
nice…WHICH APPARENTLY WASN’T APPRECIATED!
*grabs some tissues* Your too mean
Me: (not at all offended) well, duh!
Quatre: because you didn’t write about her favorite
couple?!?!?!
Me: apparently so.
Listen, Pixie…there are so many Dorothy-haters out there, warning are
usually put on fics that DON’T bash her…save mine because I’m lazy…so don’t
take all your frustration out on me! Go
bother somebody who’s used to listening to whiny brats complaining because the
world doesn’t revolve around them and they don’t always get their way…
But
besides that, I really like your fics
Me: riiiiight……once again, this goes under the
category of “I-just-absolutely-love-your-fic-so-I-think-I’ll-flame-it-and-insult-you-in-any-pathetic-way-I-possibly-can-but-only-because-you’re-such-a-GREAT-writer”
Quatre: (sweatdropps) venting your frustration?
Me: oh, just wait until we get to flame #2
^o^ Happy now!!!!!!
Quatre: …………..
Me: was this one of your random acts of
let’s-confuse-the-author? Cuz it
sure worked! Is that a question, or are you just saying YOU’RE happy?
You have
totally screwed up my day!!!!
Me: If your day is screwed up because I refuse to
write a DC+QW fic, you need help
*blows nose* There I’m done
Quatre: somebody’s having a bad day
Me: or ‘week’…..
FLAME #2
Quatre: how many of these are there?
Me: thankfully, not too many
Flamer:
Redhawk
First of all, this is not a flame…
Me: oh, really now?
Sure seemed like a flame to me
YAOI
RULES!
Quatre: oh no…is this what I think it is
Me: unfortunately, yes
QUATRE IS
IN LOVE WITH TROWA
Quatre: umm…no I’m not
Me: I know that, my friends know that, but
apparently, this person does not know that
IT IS SO
OBVIOUS IN THE SHOW
Quatre: give me ONE example!
Me: actually, she gives you three or four
Quatre: but-
Me: don’t worry; I can disprove ever last one of ‘em
REMEMBER QUATRE SAYS HE WISHES TROWA WOULD ATTACK HIM SO
HE COULD SEE HIM AGAIN
Quatre:…your point?
Me: apparently, this person has never heard of the
word “Friendship”
Quatre: Since when is it a crime to hope to see
somebody again if you get along?
Me: since Redhawk corrupted the police
AND TROWAS LAST WORDS WHEN HEERO ALMOST KILLS HIM ARE
HEERO DON’T BE TOO HARD ON QUATRE
Quatre: yeah, I remember that.
When’s the supposed “yaoi evidence” supposed to appear
Me: this _IS_ the “evidence”
Quatre: I’m lost; let me see if I can get this
straight…
Me: (snickering) literally
Quatre: …I made a huge mistake, not realizing
what I was doing until it was too late; Trowa had to suffer because of my
mistake, but had enough understanding and compassion to realize it wasn’t my
fault and to tell Heero not to blame me so hard…and that’s YAOI
EVIDENCE?!?!?!?!?
Me: It’s a little something people call having a
HEART…it has nothing to do with loving somebody romantically or not…
Quatre: I fail to see where any yaoi evidence
whatsoever comes into play here
Me: same here
AND WHEN QUATRE GOES WING ZERO HE IS WILLING TO KILL HEERO
BUT NOT TROWA!!!!!
Me: okay, Quatre; answer me this: Who was it who stood
right in front of you with a weapon threatening to kill you if you didn’t stop?
Quatre: Heero
Me: and who were you fighting that whole time?
Quatre: Heero
Me: and who stood directly in your way, even though
you gave the warning that you were going to fire?
Quatre: Heero
Me: that’s what I though; now, Who stood off to the
side, posing no apparent threat to you whatsoever from the Zero system’s POV?
Quatre: Trowa
Me: and who never raised his weapon to you once
throughout the whole situation?
Quatre: Trowa
Me: and who was it who calmly tried to talk to you,
showed no intetntions of harming you, and would gave the Zero System NO reason
to attack?
Quatre: Trowa!
Me: I
think my point’s been proven
Quatre: tell everybody what you found on that
official website one day…please?!?!
Me: I was searching for bios of the characters for my
own web page…and I came across an official statement given by the creators of
Gundam Wing (clears throat): “There is NO romantic relationship between Quatre
and Trowa… all those yaoi-based mangas are strictly fan-created and have
nothing to do with the actual show”
Quatre: Hallelujah!
Me: now then, I don’t care if you people still wish
to believe in yaoi; I like certain couples on animes and TV shows that have NO
chance of really happening, either…but don’t bother wasting my time making me
read about it…go rant about your “evidence” on a yaoi website, okay? Okay.
REVIEW #3
Quatre: you mean ‘flame’?
Reviewer:
C.F. Ferret
Me: no, actually…this is a review somebody sent me I
really liked, and felt it would be necessary to post up to prove a point:
Aww, those were cute… I’m not a fan of Relina at all, nor
of Hilde, but, hey, this was amusing and cute and I respect what others write
::beam:: and *this* is coming from one of them darn Yaoi freaks, too!
^.^. Can’t wait for more surveys, keep up the good work.
Quatre: that was actually really nice!
Me: yes, people, this is what a review should
be like. Don’t like certain
characters that I do? It’s fine if
you want to point that out…just don’t flame me for it.
Quatre: and writing “I respect what others write” was
very noble. People should
definitely be more open-minded and what others have for opinions
Me: I, myself, have flamed a total of maybe 2 fics in
my life on fanfiction.net, but not because I didn’t like the characters or
couplings…I flamed them because it truly was a horrible plot and I was all but
disturbed by it. I’ve even read an occasion yaoi fic without finding anything I
don’t like besides the given…
Quatre: YOU read a YAOI fic?
Me: yeah…a mild one…once again, I hate yaoi, but I’m
so opposed to it, I felt it would only be fair to at least read a couple so I
could try to understand why people like it.
This is what I have to say: a well-written, clean yaoi fic is
reasonable…almost worth reading, even…but some people only enjoy yaoi…*ahem*
(those I did NOT read!). I still
hate yaoi, though
Quatre: (getting back on topic)…and this compliment came
from a Yaoi fan! I’m
shocked by that
Me: as am I…and because this person was so nice about
it, I shall personally apologize for using the term “yaoi freaks” in my fics…
only some are freaks, but others can be really nice and reasonable
Quatre: that was very considerate, Jennie
Me: thank you.
Quatre: can I go now?
Me: sure…I hafta write this next survey anyways….
Tanky very much, Qua-chan
Quatre: your welcome (disappears back to…wherever he
was before I dragged him here)
Me: this was my little Reviewer’s corner.
Although it wasn’t really intended for entirely humorous purposes, if
you considered it funny, then that’s your opinion.
And let it be known I will continue this if people keep flaming
me, as much as I hope I don’t have to.
For now, I’ll just stop rambling and let you get on with reading the
actual fic…Ja ne!
