Fun with the Pit of Voles

Okay, I understand that people are not motivated to give positive reviews. But what would motivate someone to leave a review to a really old story (Crossroads, if you are interested, the introduction story to "Lost Years", my classic!BSG/classic!Trek series)?


So basically you have twisted the Star Trek universe for your own particular mental problems.

Fair enough, just try to get stronger medicine for your own mental health shite :)

It was a "brave" anonymous reviewer, so I could at least remove their shit before it would appear on the review board - I've learned my lesson and am now moderating anonymous reviews. But I really don't understand. "Crossroads" is a fairly moderate story, save for some mild Kirk-bashing. Okay, I understand that there are Kirk-fans who don't like their idol being bashed, not even mildly. I just do't understand why do I seem to draw every jerk with attitude problems. What have I done to deserve this abuse?

In case you are interested in the actual story, it is here. I'd be the first to admit that it isn't one of my best pieces - not only is it old, but it's translated from German/Hungarian and it shows, but there's certainly nothing in it that would deserve such rudeness.

Honestly, for some reason I seem to attract idiots: the sort that demans that I write the story their way, the sort that is hell-bent on correcting nonexistent canon errors while not half as familiar with canon as I am, the sort that keeps telling me that "Character X would never do that!" My favourites are the moviegoers who correct my Tolkienfic because it doesn't fit Peter Jackson's delusions, despite the fact that they are posted in the Book section.

I wish the folks that supposedly like my stuff would be half this eager to comment.
