I'd hate to see such an... interesting... example go to waste. Since we were speaking of education (H & K's kiddy book)...

How does she even.. that's just...

Immaturity much?
I agree with the posts before me; the author is acting like a bad fanfiction writer. The whole conversation is kind of an inverse of reviews on the pit; people are backing up the reviewer instead of the author.

That girl reacted exactly like the stereotiped Suethor.

And the review actually didn't say that the book was bad - it had a good story, but had issues with grammar. A polite, honest review.

Is bad writing going to invade the published Word Worlds too? Because it would make PPC work a lot harder. How can you mock bad writing when the canon material isn't better?

Dear heavens. It's like an immature fanfic author.

Except that instead of backing up the reviewer, like they do on that thread...people on the Pit back up the AUTHOR when they rage.

I was on the receiving end of that in early February...

Thank you Lord that there are still smart people in the world.

....seriously, person?! Reviews are valuable feedback! LISTEN to the valuable feedback! Listen to it!

is that Ms. Howett's comments claiming her writing is fine are themselves riddled with misspellings. My favorite of these is "discusting" which sounds to me like a PPC term for exactly what is happening here--a disgusting discussion that threatens to damage dignity.

*snicker* That woman is an embarrassment. Yet these comments are like TrainWreck Syndrome - I just can't stop reading. Cautionary tale, indeed. Anyone think we should make a wiki link to this? It's too precious to be lost to the depths of the internet.

If actions could translate as sounds over the internet, you could hear me rolling my eyes.

Honestly,(as stated by numerous commenters) the author acting in such an unprofessional manner is really off-putting.
