In case any of you have checked out the M.I. section on Ff.Net, it seems that a troll has shown up and posted a Randall-bashing "story"(tis a real stretch to call it that). I don't know if it's the same one(or more) who graced us with her/their presence, and I sorta don't think so, but I DO think it's one of the ones we've had problems with in the Foster's Home section, since the style(if you wanna call it that)is so similar-deliberately horrific spelling and grammer, worse than any second-grader could come up with, bashes a most-popular character, non-existant plot,and pleads for reviewers but "no flames, please". This person has also blocked anyone from replying to those who DO review, to warn them that this is not a real story. The "writer's" profile claims that she is 12, but I've taught enough 12-year-olds, from the poorest school district in the state, and even THEY do not write this badly, so it has to be on purpose, which is exactly what the Foster's troll-writer does. The profile also claims that the writer is a "Christian", loves Republicans and hates gays(one of the things that this person did in the Foster's section was to make all the male characters gay AND pregnant, and have them be self-mutilators, as well), and defends her OC as not being a "mary sue", which it so obviously is. The name is different, but other than that, I'd say it's the same person, who was banned awhile back under a different name. Needless to say, all of the reviews are negative, although one well-intentioned person offered to serve as a beta reader(no amount of beta reading can help this garbage), not realizing that the awful grammar and spelling are intentional, and the claim to be a "Christian" and a "Republican" is intended as a mockery of those groups. Now, I will bet that this uh, "writer", responds very angrily and with much name-calling to those who reviewed. The name of this person, at least the one they are using now, is "CelestialLuvsJohnnyDepp". She used a similar name, "MacXBlooLuvers" on the Foster's board, and the exact same awful writing, coupled with begging for lot of reviews and no flames, and a profile claiming to be a "Christian" and a "Republican"-who then went on to curse and write explicit "slash" between male characters, and to have all of them drink alchohol and smoke crack. How much you wanna bet that sooner or later, an annonymous reviewer calling herself "N00bgirl" will come on and praise this story and attack all the "flamers", and claim that this is the best M.I. story ever written? That is the writer herself, praising her own "story", so don't be shocked when that happens.

O...K... Hmph....delete this person like our previous basher shall we? Uhm, Sean, WE cannot "delete" anyone on FF.net, since none of us are Moderators there. We can delete messages and reviews that we do not like, but not users! What we can hope for is that this person will slip up and cuss out a reviewer, or post something nasty in an upcoming chapter, and get the story taken off, but if this is the same person I think it is, they will just be back, perhaps in another section, under a different name, and post the same sort of junk again. Like I said, a very similar fic, in terms of the sort of spelling/grammer(or lack thereof), and the same demands for "no flames"(knowing fully well that there WILL be plenty of those for something this bad)appeared on the Foster's section awhile back, and the author of that actually showed up and started trolling on Sparky's board as a guest, until Sparky banned guests from posting. pitbulllady

No no. I mean like we handled that other guy.... You will have to refresh my memory-are you talking about "The Tall One"? Actually...this DOES remind me a lot of his so-called fanfic, except that so far there is no porn. I will have to check and see if horrible spelling(make that DELIBERATE horrible spelling-there is simply no way that any 12-year-old who can figure out how to post on FF.net can be that bad at spelling)and grammar are grounds for reporting abuse. Most of the time, I doubt that it would be given priority by FF.net staff, though, compared to blatant profanity or obscenity, threats against other FF.net authors, etc. pitbulllady

We (my sister and I) just saw the troll's account. Pfft! She can't even spell simple words right like "wait" or "beautiful" or "favorite" and all those stuff. Plus, her fanfic is insulting Randall, as we all know. Here's the summary! "Sully meet a beautfiul girl named Celestial but randell gets her first WHAT WILL SULLY DO!" Well, WHO CARES WHAT HE DOES?!!

Plus, her fanfic is insulting Randall, as we all know. Here's the summary! "Sully meet a beautfiul girl named Celestial but randell gets her first WHAT WILL SULLY DO!" Well, WHO CARES WHAT HE DOES?!! A lot of these trolls intentionally mispell most of the words and use horrible grammar, to try and trick people into believing that they are very young(this one claims to be 12). Now, I have taught a LOT of 12-year-olds over my 20+ year career as a teacher, and this is in some of the poorest school districts in a state known for being at the bottom of the education barrel, so to speak. The only ones who spell that badly are the ones in the self-contained Special Ed classes, and they cannot help it. They would not, however, be able to set up an account on FF.net and utilize its features to upload a story, something even *I* had to ask for help in doing, initially. I simply do not buy into this person who wrote that stupid fic being a 12-year-old, or a Christian, or a supporter of the Republican party. In fact, I'd wager he/she is putting that up to serve as a mockery of those things and those particular values, and the story is intended to anger Randall fans, who as you know, make up probably 95% or more of the Monsters, Inc. writers on FF.net. It's the same thing with the person who wrote a similar Foster's fanfic, only that one claimed to love the concept of "slash", and all of the characters were gay and "emo" and "Goth", they all smoked cigarrettes and crack cocaine, drank whiskey, and abused other drugs. Wilt and Eduardo both got pregnant, despite the fact that they're both MALE, Wilt was suicidal and self-mutilating, Frankie was a hooker and got COCO pregnant, despite the fact that they are both FEMALE and Coco is part bird and lays EGGS(plastic ones at that). AND a volcano randomly erupted in the backyard, threatening all of them. It was obvious, despite the claims of the author, that this whole thing was intended as a slap in the face to Foster's fans. The fic starts out with that exact same plea to "RnR, but no flames", KNOWING that there are going to be plenty of flames, which in turn will spark nasty personal attacks by either the author or someone claiming to love the story(who always reviews annonymously), who is actually either the author or one of her friends. The person who wrote the Foster's fic showed up as a guest on Sparky's board, trying to defend the legitimacy of the story and its spelling and grammer, claiming that they weren't that bad and still better than anything any of US could write, then started in with the trolling and random, meaningless posts, and Sparky eventually had to ban guests from posting altogether. pitbulllady

Le sigh... I wonder when people like this troll will atually get lives? I mean, I seriously don't understand why people can't live and let live. If they only acheive happiness through the mockery of others, I seriously doubt they'll get far in life.

Speaking of FF.net, has anyone tried to review a story today? I tried to submit a review for a chapter of a story(a REAL story, not a troll posting), and I kept getting an error message in orange writing with, "Review Throttle! You must wait 30 seconds before attempting to submit another review." even though I had not submitted ANY reviews! It would do this whether I was logged in or not, so I don't know if the review feature is currently blocked to everyone, or what. I tried with several stories, just to see if it would let me, but it won't, no matter than far more than 30 seconds passed. Someone try it, and see if it works for you, and let me know. I submitted an error report, which it DID allow me to do, so perhaps the review thingie is down for the whole site, to everyone.
