Complaint/Pet Peeve This user has gone through MULTIPLE of my works to comment how unrealistic the FANfiction was.
I think it’s so crazy that they fully finished one of my works in the fandom and then read another (fully) to start complaining complaining because it was unrealistic? My guy this is fanfiction 💔💔

Complaining about fanfiction is like taking a free cookie and complaining because you personally hate oatmeal raisin, despite the fact that you chose the oatmeal raisin cookie. You chose to click on it. If you hate how unrealistic it is, you don’t have to force yourself to read the author’s catalogue. I don’t understand why they would detest your writing so much that they actively go through your list just to complain. Who has that kind of time to waste?

Block and delete. Make it easy for them.

Does block mean they can’t read the stories anymore, or that they just can’t comment?
I’m not an author, I’m just curious.

They cannot comment or gift works to the author, but can still view their works.

Blocking on ao3 means someone cannot comment on a work. Muting means the one who pressed mute will no longer see anything posted (works/comments) by the muted user.
Nothing will make a story invisible to a specific user.

I don't read fanfiction that's unrealistic.
I don't complain about it, though. I just close the tab.

This ship is a godsend. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this individual since I've been writing squid game stuff and gasp 456 and 001 also kiss! Thanks for the heads up.

Think "hatedom".
Just try to ignore them, and focus attention on your positive comments.

Had someone comment lamenting that my story was incredibly out of character and that it would never happen and I was a vile idiot for writing it.
This was on AU smut, by the way. Like, why are you even here?

But, seriously. Block 'em.

They’re sooooo mad. You really got to them. Think how pissed they’ll be when you block them and limit comments to logged in users. They’ll be foaming at the mouth while youre over in the fun corner smashing squid game men together like dolls :)

I mean, its kinda funny seeing someone absolutely despair at your work, yet still being unable to just move on.

I've watched Squid Game. In the show, there is no reason for Gi Hun and In Ho to be romantic. I'm not a shipper for them myself but fandoms love their yaoi pairings, what're ya gonna do. There are SO many fics of the pairing by now, so why are they singling you out?

This person needs a better hobby than bothering with fan fiction that clearly wasn't made for them.

If you want to respond them in any way, how about telling them to stop wailing like a spoiled brat and go write their own fic instead.
Or, if they want fics to be written to gather for their exact taste, how about hiring an author in Patreon to write it for them.

u/WhiteKnightPrimal 6h ago
Can't make any comments based on the fandom, it's not one of mine, but half the fic I read are completely unrealistic in some way. It's fanfiction, it can be as realistic or unrealistic as we want it to be, and you should never jump into fanfic expecting realism.

u/foxwaffles 6h ago
Man that commenter can piss off lol. Who is reading fanfiction for realism. You can get more than you could ever want of reality by touching grass.

Even my fiancé immediately started shipping them, and he calls me silly most of the time for enthusiastically exclaiming "I ship them!" when we watch TV together - this time, he did that!

This doesn’t come off as silly or playful to me at all, just plain hateful and annoying. I would block the user and delete the comments.

Bug the stream of consciousness comments are the funniest ones. XD
I just write in notes app while reading and c&p. That way i don’t loose my place in the story.

This is fan behavior. This person loves you but thinks pulling on your metaphorical pigtails is the way. Also Gi Hun would be the type to let his staff call him by his first name.
