Reviewers: upholding my faith in human stupidity since 2002!***

This one's for "See What's In Front of You," a little Hermione/Ginny thing -- with hints of H/Hr, H/G, and H/Hr/G -- that I wrote for a [livejournal.com profile] 15minuteficlets prompt a while ago.

uhh..what can i say?yes, constructive critiscism!first of all, i dont like any ship that wont happen in the books, and this is one of them, and maybe you can write about a more possible ship!and, i thought tat both of them, especially Hermione were really out of character!but, i think your a pretty good writer!:/

How, exactly, is this constructive? How are they out of character? Examples, people, examples! Your own ship preferences are not constructive criticism, particularly not when they come attached to writing instructions. Furthermore, you don't bother to say what a more possible ship might be. (People do have divided opinions about that, y'know -- just ask any R/Hr and H/Hr proponents...)

And if you didn't like the story, why do you think I'm a good writer? What did I do right (or, so help me, wrong, considering your evident lack of tact, taste, spelling, and grammar) to make you want to read me writing a different couple?

Argh.

Can I disown her from my species, please?

***Actually 2001, if you count the comments Cat sent me after she read one of my original stories to the Bryn Mawr Sci-fi/Fantasy club at their open reading night. Seriously, the fact that a female character is named Skilly should not be an X-Files issue in a Clearly Fantasy Story With No Tech Or Aliens Whatsoever. Particularly since she was the captain of an occasionally piratical trading ship, not a doctor. *retroactively slaps idiots upside the head*
