Re: Weirdest con crit you've ever gotten?

(Anonymous) 2015-01-31 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I once used a particular character in a small role to advance the plot of a story-- the character shows up a couple of times in early chapters and that's pretty much it. Less than a thousand words all told in a 200,000 word fic. One reviewer on FFnet went on for literally hundreds of words in comments about all the details I should have included about the character and the character's life and the character's servants and the character's home. I admit I got most of the information about the character from a fandom wiki and just used the bits I needed, but it was a minor role, and this person went on and on like he was the main character. It was dull and irrelevant, and eventually in a PM the reviewer explained that getting this character right was "where I draw the line" and I cheerfully replied that I was pretty sure I was going to continue to use characters the way I want to in my stories, but thanks for reading!

The person still comments on my stuff occasionally, generally stream-of-consciousness irrelevancies they seem to think are very clever, mixed in with oddly personal digs at me. On their profile they offer to beta stories, but warn that they tend to fixate on what they think you *should* be writing and go on and on about that. I wonder how many requests they get??
