But as the others said. Write for yourself, thats what matters. If they want nothing but sex they can get it elsewhere.

I haven't been getting any reviews like that... oh wait I don't get reviews past the "nice update" ;-D
I can understand constructive criticism, but yeah being downright rude, whatever.
Post your darker fic, if you upset your old readers they can read your other stories, but you might get new readers for posting it. PLUS I think some fans really like to see different things from their authors. (I mean don't we like different kinds of stuff from the boys?)

Ohhh no, no, no. I have never been flamed. Boy, that sounded conceited. But it's true! Haha. Seriously though, my friend Ashley (Forever Rebel) got a mean review. I guess it's a flame. The reader said "Wow, you suck" and only rated her a two. Ashley's sensitive, so of course it upset her. I just hate people who purposely do that. As writers, we all expect criticism, but not like that.

Yeah, it just happened a couple of days ago. It's for her fic No Matter What. She's a good author and she's improving everyday. Rude reviews like that aren't constructive.

I saw it and deleted it. You're right it's okay when it comes to constructive criticism but when people get downright mean, that's crossing the line. Of course this person also was anonymous so there was no way to trace who it was. Chickens! If you are going to flame someone have the guts to at least let them address you personally!
Thanks for letting me know. :)
I hope Ashley doesn't mind that I deleted the post.
