Okay, wow. I don't do a lot of these, mostly because nobody reads these, but honestly I'm pretty mad rn. One of the authors of one of the millions of books I'm reading just took down one of her books, why? Because people were being really huge assholes. People were complaining about the names of her characters, which she gave an explanation as to why she chose them, and honestly they were the cutest names ever. People kept on being huge pricks to her and so she called them out without saying names asking them to stop. They kept on commenting calling her a sensitive author, saying a whole bunch of other things. Like even went as far to complain about the writing. Me? I loved everything about the book. The story line, the way she wrote, the characters. It was very cute and I adored everything about it. But she took it down because people were being huge assholes and basically wouldn't stop harassing her. This...This just proves to show how writers can be affected by the things you say. We can take criticism, I mean if you are a writer you HAVE to be able to handle it. But if there is one thing that she, along with others, can handle is complete assholes. Don't be a dick, okay? How fucking hard is it to be nice. People take the time out of their day to write, take time to develop characters as well as a story line. And the poor author just gave up because people just wouldn't stop. Don't be a dick, be nice.
