asking for some kind of courtesy for her. She is 14 and writing a very ... um Mary Sue story in the Transformer fandom. It is what it is, a tremendously Mary Sue story with a lot of errors and such. She is 14 after all.

The reviews have been brutal. Calling her a whore: 'wore' and all the rest really set my teeth on edge. I wrote a short note telling them to take a hike. They of course responded but I couldn't not say anything. Trolls are the shit rising from hell. Truly.
