Sticky situation.
honey:
w.o.w.
I guess my only advice would be just to leave it like it is. Some things are really not worth perusing. She's obviously looking for drama and clearly won't be of any help to you in the future, so I would just try my best to ignore it. No need to get nasty back.
Seriously, what else can I say? Just that hopefully she's one in a million. (and not in a cool-BSB-song kind of way) That was definitely awful of her to write that, but I hope you realize that that can't possibly be the norm. I hope this doesn't stop you from seeking out constructive feedback in the future.
Good luck with your future writing! May you have better luck with all the other authors here.
mare:
Yup, I also wanted to add that it shouldn't discourage you from writing. If anything, let it be a motivater.
honey:
And maybe make a dart board out of one of her stories... (or a banner if she has one.) that might make you feel a little better.

LOL! Kelly you crack me up. Yeah I agree I would definitely make a dart board!

Totally; if you did quit writing cause of this (and I don't see you as the type to do that), then she would win. What you need to do is the exact opposite: keep writing, use TRUE constructive criticism (which that was not) to help you write better, and stick around until this chick is a has-been who has retired to the realms of her so-called "writer's heaven" and YOUR stories are the new big thing. I've been writing fanfic long enough that I have seen many authors like that come and go in the span of two years or so. Meanwhile, here I am, still writing and getting reviews after like nine years of working at it LOL. You don't wanna peak with your first story, or your second, or your third... those are practice. Have fun with them, learn from them, and make each new story better than the one before it.
