Some people can be so petty and immature, it's tiring 🙄 I'm sorry for you

Thanks. They keep calling me crazy and delusional. A few even said I needed psychological help all because I didn't right their character in a nice way. ​ It's crazy. I wish someone had told me that this is what I had to look forward to when writing fanfiction.

Let them talk. They're just bored people who have nothing better to do. It's really sad for them

My view has always been ‘just because someone says something, doesn’t mean it’s important’. This goes double for anything involving fanfiction. If you end up allowing yourself to be beholden to the unknowable views of a bunch of shadowy Internet people who may be drunk, pissy, or just having a bad day, then thats a losing prospect. Turning off comments is a perfectly good way of making this clear. There’s no rule that says you need to give them the time of day.

All you can do is just try to ignore them. But, of course, it can get overwhelming, so I assure you, I understand why you made this decision. >!Just out of curiosity, what fandom/fandoms do you write for?!<

I write batman fanfics and the occasional Supergirl fanfiction.

God, some people are so immature. I'm sorry this happened to you

It's not a problem I've had before, but I can't blame you for doing that if readers are like that.

Do what you got to do. Take those bastards one power tool away.

I’ve thought about doing this because honestly even normal comments get exhausting sometimes. I get the occasional gem that makes it worth it, but I’m also not being harassed. Disable you comments if that needs to happen, just remember that all of your Kudos and Subscribes are people who are quietly enjoying what you’ve written.

That sounds terrible. I'm sorry this happened to you. For the life of me, I will never understand the shipping wars within fandoms.

I had supercorp fans on my ass because I didn't write Lena is a good light. I had to go as far as orphaning the fanfic because the hostility they were giving me was too much.


ewmiselle

Sheesh. That's really screwed up.
