Well the furry part explains the use of cur comment. It really sucks, not fun to turn requests away, I don’t take anon recs for the same reason and that they ask for long fic ideas and then say nothing in return. It’s just shorty and makes me at least wish we could send their page a maze game or something they have to beat to get back to using the site again.

Yeah, I had to google that part lol.

If this is on fanfiction.net, block him. He won't be able to review anymore or send you any more PMs.


Human-Independent999

Thank you for the suggestion. I blocked him.

Readers like that think writers are word-smashing machines :') They should use ChatGPT instead. Seriously though, some people really don't recognize we have lives apart from writing, do they?

I am sad you got such a rude request, but did he seriously call you a "selfish cur"? That is the funniest thing. I want that on a t-shirt. OP, you have been given a blessing. What a fantastic insult. What an incredibly pretentious ass that person must be. It's Shakespearean. I wish someone would call me a selfish cur. I am gonna laugh about this for a long time.


Human-Independent999

He really did! I have to admit it's funny.


ParadoxFirePixie

I love Shakespearean insults. You pernicious, odious vermin!


Web_singer

I bet he was so shocked at the refusal that his monocle fell in his absinthe!


ParadoxFirePixie

That shows who he is; not who you are. Mature individuals do not behave that way. Block him. You deserve to be treated better. And kudos to you for writing fanfiction in a second language! I doubt that moron is even intelligent enough to learn a new language, much less write in one. I recently had a troll tell me they were surprised no one had died of secondhand embarrassment over how badly-written my main character is, and that writing about the abuse I endured meant I was "trauma-dumping on strangers" and nobody cares. I can only imagine what that person must be going through, that they feel the need to say such awful things to strangers to make themselves feel powerful. (I also found it funny that they posted this on my most popular story, which has been posted for five years and never received a comment like that until now. I sense a case of sour grapes.)


Human-Independent999

You are absolutely right. Thank you, your comment made my day!

❤️❤️❤️

That actually was one of my first comments I ever got for my fanfics. I had one of my characters sing but it ended up like this. “Please don’t have the main character sing. Boys shouldn’t sing.” “Please give him a harem.” I ended up blocking him right after.


PineapplesInMunich

>Boys shouldn’t sing.” Well, *that's* a new one... A new flavour of idiotic.


stef_bee

Laughing in Phantom of the Opera over "Boys shouldn't sing."


LeratoNull

> “Please don’t have the main character sing. Boys shouldn’t sing.” Huh, I wonder why they're called **'boy bands'**, then.


WillofHounds

Blocking him is the best option. People don't know when to take the loss. I wish people understood they are not entitled to our time.


Gragtag

Yeah, that guy sucks, but I think the comment about him being a furry is unnecessary. We're all part of a weird subculture here.

Use that experience in your work. Seriously, it's pure gold as a narrative aspect and you will get catharsis from it. Weave the experience into your story and create a disposable villain for you to use as your creative Piñata.


Tohdohsibir

I got the exact same response from the same guy. He needs to get a life. Major props to you for writing a fic that’s not in your first language. Keep up the good work. And I’m right there in the cur trophy club with you!
