As always I wonder how authors think people/readers/potential buyers won't find this sort of back and forth online. A lot of people know how to use google. It's not exactly secret. And it's already all over the 'net what author names are linked to STGRB. Which makes it incredibly easy to figure out who's posting on that site, especially since the writing styles never change.

"They say their fairly certain I'm an author".

Not a very good one though, seeing as she not only has problems with 'who is' and 'whose', but she also doesn't know the difference between 'their' and 'they're'.

Thick as a brick.

Jeeze, 'write/right', 'whose/who is' and 'their/they're' all in the space of a few little comments. I hate to think what a book full of it would be like.

Seriously, how can someone who claims to be an author have such terrible writing skills? I'm genuinely curious. How have they gone through life and not learned how it works? Even more unbelievable is that they then try and make money from writing and think they have something polished to offer?

Writing skillz....they're doing it rong. :P

I know, right? I'm not an author by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know how to structure a sentence, how to spell, and how to use punctuation. Basic skills for an author, no?

All she needs is a "should of" instead of "should have" and we'll have a full house.

(Is this the appropriate place to 'fess up to my Oxford comma addiction).

I'm thinking Pissy Pants is most likely trolling. I know, it's hard to tell since so many of them on that site make the same mistakes but I'm thinking she's trying to punk us, or some shit.

To what end, I don't know. I'm sure it's a super good joke, though.

That only she gets, of course.

Witch instead of which

Their instead of they're

Right instead of write

Then add in the obnoxious punctuation

At least, I'm really hoping that's what's going in. Really hoping.

That is my top #1 pet hate in writing. That is the worst text crime ever. Seriously. EVER.

@TinaNicole - I'm hoping right along with you because the alternative is just too horrible to contemplate. I'm thinking NOBODY can be lacking comprehension to that level and think they can write. Surely? I hope it's a troll.

#310 by: Batgrl: Bookish Hooha date: 11 years ago discussions stats

Heh, yeah I was wincing at the their/they're part especially. Because again, this is not making me think this person has a book I should rush to read.

TinNicole, did she call us twats? Ah, flashbacks to the good old days. Also, when did you change the spelling of your name? I love it, btw. Saves me time typing. :)

Nothing says a good time like a giant winking Nic Cage gif!!??!!!

Now that Bell is the new victim in the asshat circles, she's even more convinced her every negative review is the work of trolls.

"malevolent element"

I'm thinking of writing a book about tongue twisters and that right there is the title!

#316 by: Spare Ammo date: 11 years ago discussions stats

She's a special kind of snowflake, a better class of snowflake. A snowflake snowier and flakier than all those other snowflakes. And she is secure in the belief that if you don't like her boring book you are a troll cause all the best people like her book. People like her mom, her aunt, her BFF.

Holy shit, is this chick for real? So, according to her, anybody who leaves an even semi-negative and/or snarky review is lower than dirt AND she thinks the review process stinks. So what would she have everyone do? Consult with her before leaving a review to make sure it passes her strict guidelines by giving due respect to her "baby" that she has nurtured and loved and raised to be a wannabe bestseller?

God save me from uploaders who cannot accept that not everyone is going to love their creations!
