Hi. No, this isn't a chapter, sorry to disappoint you all. This is a special message. One to say that this story is on hiatus because after reading Mark of Athena, this story has no inspiration left for it. So, this story is on hiatus. If, for some reason, I do receive inspiration from somewhere, I guarantee you that I will update it.
Now. Onto what I've been looking forward to since I got this review.
On another story of mine, I've clearly stated that flamers will be thrust into the spotlight for whatever flame they leave because, let's face it, you are fucking cyber bullies most of the time. I don't care if you don't like the story, but usually if you don't like something you don't read it, or bother with it, and completely ignore it. BUT if you are going to be 'that person' that does go out of they're way to express their dislike in rude, obnoxious, MAPOTI way, then you should AT LEAST have the decency to log in. Or flame on a story that is CURRENT not on HIATUS!
So, thanks Anonymous, for your lovely inspiring review that will fuel me for the rest of my life. I know I've done something so well, that someone else is jealous of me and my, in this case, skill. Trust me, dude. I've dealt with flamers before. Hell, I deal with bullies everyday. But I satisfy myself with knowing that you have failed to harm me in anyway. I call you a coward, for reviewing anonymously and not having the guts to log in, for reviewing to a story that has been on hiatus for months, hell this is probably the only time you feel brave or confident-behind the computer screen, or in front of your phone.
All I have to say to you is, man up. Please. It's idiots like you who think they can go around and say and do anything they want just because it's anonymous that is destroying some people's lives.
You are a coward. It is called FanFiction for a reason. I admit that there are plenty of authors out there on this site who could really really use some work. There are stories on this site that are crappy, but instead of flaming them if I do read them, I try and encourage them, give them tips and pointers on making the story better. Most of the time, I do ignore them; I just don't know what to say that won't come across as rude and obnoxious. Like I know better. This'll probably come across as an 'I know better than you', but in truth, I'm trying to help you from becoming something you don't want to be; trust me. Seeing the world through only eyes of hate sucks shit. Man, there was a point in my life I almost started cutting myself! And I look back at that day where I held the knife to my arm and thank the gods on Olympus that I didn't do it!
So don't flame. It's stupid and pointless. And if you do, fine. Screw you motherfucking flamers. At least think of the person behind the screen, typing the words of the story you just flamed. What if that was you? Hell, it probably was at some point. It was me at some point. My MoA FanFiction sucked some pretty nasty shit, but people encouraged me and look where I stand now. My writing has evolved to a whole new level. That's thanks to the flamers, sure, but it's also thanks to the reviewers who encouraged and suggested ideas.
Sorry again that this wasn't a chapter, and don't expect another AN like this. I really wanted to get this off my chest, to be honest.
