Do any of you know how to block seeing an author's fics on Twisting the Hellmouth?
Please?
No names, but the author does not spell check, does not understand constructive criticism (sees it only as flames/attacks), has twisted the entire cast of Buffy and any other show/book they choose to crossover with into unrecognizable people.... my eyes bleed any time I see an new story by this author. They never finish any they start and the rally really sad thing about it all, their ideas are great. They just are a terrible writer.
I saved myself a lot of aggravation and anger by blocking anything that they send to the various Yahoo groups I am a part of - I never see their email/stories/responses, which has saved me from stroking out by reading anything they write. It's really better all around if they don't exist in my worldview.
Mainly they seem to use their fiction as a way of dealing with their own issues regarding friends/families and 'misunderstood' intentions -- when what they need IMO is therapy. But hey, we all write to expunge our demons to some extent, but in this particular authors case it only seems to increase their demons.
Anyhow... any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
