*UPDATE 2019* So...after a year-long hiatus, I was excited to return to fan fiction and published a Pokemon one-shot. However when I came back, I did not know that this site was being embroiled in such a controversy about Farla et al and their spam reviews. Even more confusing, there are spam reviewers that claim they are against the original spammers. In case any of y'all get these, these are an example of some guest reviews:

REVIEW 1:

"Sorry about this]

No you are not.

[but serious measures need to be taken at this point to put an end to the nonsense. Once this bully is gone, we can go back to having a peaceful community.]

There was no peace with Farla on the site and you guys constantly pushing this.

[They review to give constructive criticism. ]

No they do not. It's pointless nitpicks at best.

[Actually, they don't "demand" anything.]

Yeah demand a lot of crap. They fight users to change their stories.

[And the only reason why so many people hate them is because of a) much of the users here are too young to handle criticism maturely, and b) the constant slander by this user and their sockpuppets.]

A is false. The avenge age of writers are 17-24 and B) They do not slander them but tell them the truth.

[Because they DO honestly think it would help. Constructive criticism is good.]

It is not constructive criticism! They are only yelling at you for not writing the story they want.

[Their dialogue advice is correct. Just look at published books.]

No it is not. published books don't do it.

[I don't agree with everything the mentioned users do, but I've never seen anything from these users that I would consider "bullying".]

This is false a lot of what they do is bullying.

[A group of sockpuppets. And there isn't any proof that the admins did what this user is claiming.]

Warhammer came in a shattered that. They are not sockpuppets and UYS knows it. All they seen the admins call her out.

[Admittedly, I am UYS, and I'm posting this review as a guest review because I want you to be able to remove it if you don't want it here. ]

Most users don't know that guest reviews are a thing let alone how to remove them.

[Hybrid, er... I mean Warhammer, unfortunately, would prefer to purposefully try to ruin your review section by using a signed review for this, which you cannot delete.]

Bullshit. Warhammer proved they were a sock and they still do it. Second;y this user ruined many review sections and promised to stop.

[I'm working to shut down a toxic being in the community, hence my guest review name.]

No they are trying to push up a toxic community hence the name.

Hybrid been working against it."

REVIEW 2:

"Sorry about this, but serious measures need to be taken at this point to put an end to the nonsense. Once this bully is gone, we can go back to having a peaceful community. I'm only going to post this once. I won't be replying to any of the inevitable bullsheit that will surely follow this review.

(Hey, welcome. So look a warning given you are writing a Pokemon story. Farla, St Elmo's Fire, Talarc, Spencer841, and a few others are known bullies on this site who review only to destroy stories and promote drama.)

They review to give constructive criticism. The only drama comes from this user and all of the other sockpuppets of Hybrid of Fate.

(demand you redo your story to fit their wants and no, they are the super minority and hated by the fandom.)

Actually, they don't "demand" anything. And the only reason why so many people hate them is because of a) much of the users here are too young to handle criticism maturely, and b) the constant slander by this user and their sockpuppets.

(They start off with a disclaimer about honestly thinking it would help.)

Because they DO honestly think it would help. Constructive criticism is good.

(Oh, and they give out false dialogue formatting.)

Their dialogue advice is correct. Just look at published books.

(Oh and if they say that they are being bullied. Know that they are lying as they been doing it too this fandom for years now)

I don't agree with everything the mentioned users do, but I've never seen anything from these users that I would consider "bullying". Harsh, yes, but concrit is sometimes harsh. Either learn to maturely deal with it or don't post stories.

(a group are working to stop it. The admins told them to knock it off.)

A group of sockpuppets. And there isn't any proof that the admins did what this user is claiming.

(oh and if there is a guest reviewer titled "Take Down Hybrid" know that is actually Unique yet Sensible the biggest of all of Farla's supporters and an utter troll who only doing this shit because Hybrid gave her criticism. The girls gone off the deep end and into complete insanity)

Admittedly, I am UYS, and I'm posting this review as a guest review because I want you to be able to remove it if you don't want it here. It's called courtesy. Hybrid, er... I mean Warhammer, unfortunately, would prefer to purposefully try to ruin your review section by using a signed review for this, which you cannot delete. And I'm not "Farla's biggest supporter". I'm working to shut down a toxic being in the community, hence my guest review name.

Also, I would argue that being desperate to the point of doxxing themselves and someone else in order to cover up their lies speaks more as to who the insane one really is here."

TL;DR: Two pointless guest reviews that absolutely nothing to do with my story. Needless to say, I deleted them but I'll leave these here for y'all to gloat at. I did get a review from this Warhammer person, but I can't delete it, like these 2 reviews say.

My 2 cents on the issue: If this goes on, this site cannot devote itself to the art of Pokemon fan fiction writing. I came to this site to work on my story telling, not fuss about grammar and punctuation. And the review section is for actual...reviews, not spam that forwards unrelated personal agendas.

IN CONCLUSION...all my future stories will be published on AO3 (Username MicahDebrink). I'll see if they treat their users a little better.

Nice to meet y'all! I hope you have enjoyed reading my stories. If you haven't read them, by all means take a click and enjoy! I am accepting beta-reading requests for anyone who is interested!

Q&A:

Tell me about yourself.

What you wanna know?

Specifics about yourself.

Classified...

What is your writing style?

I find a very interesting, almost alter ego personality when I write. Normally I'm a very funny, light-hearted person that likes to enjoy life, and a big supporter of social equality for all minorities, being a minority myself.

What minorities are you?

That's also classified...

So what is your "alter ego"?

It's pretty dark, and either talks about very psychological, deep things, or may be socially offensive. I don't really personally associate with the things I write, they're more like thoughts from this "alter ego".

So where you live?

Somewhere in America.

Do you have a name for this "alter ego"? Other notable people have names for their alter egos.

Yes, it's called Micah Debrink.

Why the bird for your profile picture?

Because we all want to fly...but we just can't. Just like that big, fat bird who's already collapsing under its own weight: we're just not built to fly. Our wings are too small for our weight. But the very presence of wings give us hope. Hope that we'll reach to the sky and soar. We may never fly our entire lives; but we always have the hope.

Hope that answered some questions in that mind of yours. Click below to see my stories/poetry.
