You *really* shouldn't have done that...

I love getting my responses after I write to badfic authors. I shouldn't invest so much time and energy on revenging their paltry attacks on my reviewing credibility, but it feels so damned good!

You might recall this little deviance into merciless Mary Sue slaughter...

Well, the author's taken down the story, so victory for ME (imagine a Zim voice, please), but he/she/the dog has written back an eloquent defence, point-by-point as to why it is I who suck/am not reading carefully enough.

For your edification, ( the e-mail, henceforth referred to exhibit A of my impending libel suit (not kidding, she accuses me of libel) )

Let this be a lesson to you when reviewing other people's stories. 

Oh no! This is supposed to be lesson? Is there going to be a test?

I suppose I had better study. [Insert manical grin] I told people tonight at Dave's party that I wasn't going to be mean. No, I'm not mean. I'm polite, and as many of you know, that's a thousand times worse.

In my defense, and then the defense rests on its own merits and bad-assness:( Bet I ace this exam... )
