Re: Reviewing fic with annoying author's note?

oh, oh, I know, I know!

leave them your normal review, but add something like "oh, I'm so glad that you're not like other authors that bash the fandom and complain about trends they don't like, you're so nice and sweet and an awesome writer" or something like that

because, I mean, what could they answer to that? "no, I'm not nice like you think I am and I hate [X]!"?

Haha, you know, this is not such a bad idea! And it might work to make them realize bitching like that accomplishes nothing...

(That is, unless they are one of those people who are blind to irony).

But yeah I might do that, thanks anon!

A problem could come from them not viewing their AN as bashing - or just flat out not remembering what they wrote in it.

usually passive-aggressive lines like that are super obviously passive-aggressive, and therefore sound more jerkish then a simple "btw your author's note was offputting." and if it does sound completely sincere, the author is probably not going to put 2+2 together and quit doing it.

it's a win-win anyway

they get it: what can the writer do? if they call op on being passive-aggressive, op can deny it since they technically said only good things. the hypocrisy would be delicious, since the writer started the passive-aggressive game, so op has a good laugh and then moves on

they don't get it: op has a good laugh and then moves on

Easy answer? Be PA back - it's actually not that hard if you're used to it.
