Update: LISTEN UP WRITERS

HOLY THIS XD

I'm really bad at checking the email attached to my fanfiction accounts, so I decided to do it five minutes ago. THE GIRL WHO ACCUSED MY REVIEW DID SEND A MESSAGE BACK, I'M TRYING SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH OUT LOUD, IT'S PAST MIDNIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS SLEEPING.

Here's what she said: "I wrote two replies, one which was nasty, one which was conciliant ( I don't have time to look it up in the dictionnary). ~*IT MEANS COMPLIANT THE INTERNET IS NOT HARD TO USE*~
You've described how you would write Joan. Go ahead. She's all yours for the taking. You said you saw things a certain way, I see them differently. For example Sherlock and Kitty but then I haven't see the latest episode which could have changed my perspective, but then again they had not aired when I  wrote this story. I didn't ask for concrit for my positive reviews. You want be right? Be right. I've got plenty to spare. Thing is, looking back, I realize I'm not interested in debating with you, as I read your pieces last night, and boy.
Good day"

THE . She wanted to hear my thoughts and that's what she got! EDIT: And then she randomly brought in how MY writing needed work? Girl, then you shoulda left a review and I would have responded with questions. Geez. 

(Here was her first message, cuz I got that emailed to me too! I was thinking about being savage and leaving another review, calling her out LOLOLOLOLOL. Anyway: "I'm sure you meant it in a nice fashion, but I'm afraid this rubbed me the wrong way. I can totally understand the fact that I need to work on my Joan, according to you, but telling me how you think she would be/what she wouldn't do/what ticked you off in the piece and why instead of just saying she's wrong would have been "concrit". [I think this word is in French and it means concrete in English...] As in giving me something to ponder over to make my use of Joan better. To be honest, I thought my Watson was out of touch, so your review comes as a surprise. [The rest is in French, I'll put a translation in at the end.] Après, on aprend tout le temps, mais je déteste ce qui n'est pas constructif. Le fandom elementary est de loin le fandom le plus difficile à fanfic-iser, tellemnt les personnages sont complexes. Je respecte encore une fois que l'intention était surement très bonne mais hélas cette critique ne me donne pas d'éléments constructifs pour améliorer mon style littéraire.
Merci néanmoins
[Afterall, we learn all the time but I hate what is not constructive. The Elementary fandon is by far the most difficult to fanfictionize because the characters are complex. I again respect that the intention was surely good but this criticism doesn't give me any constructive elements to better my literary style.
Thanks anyway]")

 

K. I'm done. Just wanted to share the hilarity.

"Concrit" just means "constructive criticism" by the way. And people are so rude :/

Wait, so is the first the "good" one? Oo and the second one is the nasty one?
Because If that's the case, I think she got it wrong? Oo
