"Today was a terrible day because..."

[Neo Emolga]

I agree. I and a lot of people weren't happy with the site's decision to make disabling guest reviews impossible. It would help a LOT. I did get one with an actual account a little while ago, though. I looked on the account and it wasn't new, made in 2015, but it was ranting (on my MLP story of all things???) about me blocking their friend and how they were then going to block me. And well, that is the opposite of a problem. I did laugh at their "I'm going to unfollow and block you now!" threat though because I don't recall this person ever commenting on my stories. xD

Other than that, though, they've all been guests. All ranting about how I'm a horrible author because my ten-year-old main character values life.

It's such a dumb thing. Both YouTube and DeviantArt have it where the author/poster can disable comments. I'm sure plenty of other sites have something similar.

And that's too funny. "Oh noes, they're gunna block me and I won't be able to hear from them again!! I'm going to miss their whiny drama queen antics sooo much! Wahhhhh!" Stupidity truly is the eighth deadly sin. XD

Sometimes people make it their goal to try and drag other people down. It's not right. I wish there were something we can do about it, but in hard times. Look to friends for comfort in the REAL truth. Not some negative Nancy's.

Yeah, I agree. I think the reason this is getting to me is that I know it all comes from that one person (Sally) who I'm pretty sure has this weird desire (heck, it seems like obsession at times) to control me. And lashes out when she can't. These weird rude comments on my story are only the tip of the iceberg and I know there's much worse going on under the surface. I'm not going to give in, but I just wish there was some way to break her weird fixation on me.

Sorry for another rant about this but I need to shout into the void if nothing else.

Sally and her stupid friends (I'm sure it's them) are at it again, this time targeting two of my stories (but the second story was for the same fandom, so I KNOW it's still them). They were too cowardly to comment with an account so I just deleted the messages, but I'm just...so frustrated. Why are they still so hatefully obsessed with me and my story? This has gone on for months, you think they would get bored just repeating the same things over and over. But they aren't...and honestly that's kind of creeping me out.

Yeah, Sally is definitely screwed up in the head. Classic case of cyber bullying.

Still don't understand why fafiction.net doesn't allow the option to delete and fully disable all guest messages. You think they would see something like this and the site stuff would grow a brain cell and say "ohhh yeah, I had a feeling we forgot to add a feature! Maybe we should add that!"

While I have a feeling there's a chance you tried this already, if you click on Help at the bottom, it seems like there's a support email ([email protected]) you could use to conact them. Just be sure to add the [Abuse] tag in the email title, request for all guest messages to be deleted, request them to be disabled, and let them know this has been going on for months.

No worries at all. That's what this thread is for as with blogs. To help bring up daily topics just to get things out. We can't always just hold it all back inside. It'll just make us all want to explode eventually.

Sally definitely doesn't sound right in the mind of things. Just a little more than messed up. She doesn't know when to really "let it go."

Some reason they must think they can get back at you by attacking you mentally. Knowing there's something you care about and just trying push it down. All while TRYING to make you feel bad and hate yourself for it. Don't fall for their mind games. Play smarter than that. Like with what Neo said and trying to contact the fan fiction.net support on it. Letting them know it's a type of harassment you've been getting for some time now. They should be able to honor it somehow to help prevent it from happening like it is.

They used to have that option, back in like 2012 and before, but removed it for whatever stupid reason. It's ridiculous.

Sadly a lot of people have done that and the mods of Fanfiction.net just...don't do anything. It's incredibly poorly run. I don't know if there's anything I can do about it, but I don't want to delete my stories as that's just what they want me to do.

I'm glad you guys understand. I don't really have anyone else to talk to and I'm getting really creeped out.

Yeah, she really doesn't. I think that's what scares me most. The level of obsession. (This isn't even close to the other things Sally has done). For me, having obsessions is a positive thing that leads to all sorts of creativity. It seems like for her, they can, well...lead to stuff like this. For whatever reason, Sally has decided that I am the source of all her problems, and I honestly think (based on her actions and stuff she's said (long story)) that she wants to control me, and is furious that she can't.

I've thought about asking people what I can do on the Fanfiction Reddit (I'm there a lot, and most people are super nice), because a lot of people there have experience trying to get the Fanfiction.net people to do what they're supposed to. Other than that, not sure what I can do.

Thanks you guys for understanding this stuff though! This whole thing has been the result of literal years of stress (since late 2013) and I'm glad I can talk about it with someone.

It's been like a perpetual thing since I came back to school. I have like no sense of passage of time. I can't believe it's only been six weeks since the stress of everything has made it a lot longer. It's starting to ease up some but only because I have three midterms over the next week and a half. Yay.

It has been 5 months since I've wrapped up college and job hunting has not shown any signs of bearing fruit. I'd say 80% of the places I apply to never even call/email back saying "Thanks for applying, we aren't interested." Just radio silence. I've had 1 interview where they let me know I didn't get the job. Why is it socially acceptable to just ignore applicants? At least let me know I'm off the list!

I know I'll find something but it's sometimes really hard to stay positive when there's constant radio silence and no offers.

Job searching sucks. Take it from a guy who has had to do that numerous times and was unemployed for over a year in some cases. Just keep trying and don't give up. Most places aren't going to let you know if they're interested, so submit and move on to the next. It's just one of those things that takes time and dedication.
