what kind of sick piece of shit are you?? what the hell is the
point in this story? i think you're sexually frustrated to come up with
something like this.

That was the comment I got today for my storyStephanie The Lazy Town Slut I found the comment to be rather amusing. Obviously, the individual who had posted the comment didn't seem to be familiar with fan fiction nor did he/she realize that in my story Stephanie was at a legal age to have sex.

Naturally, the comment was posted under anonymous and made me wonder why people generally lack the courage to be rude or obnoxious up front?

Hate mails or comments are directed to upset the receiver, it makes the sender feel righteous and impowered and the receiver feels either degraded, amused or indifferent depending upon the warying level of self-esteem.

Being an erotic writer I've received all kinds of mails, some chiding me for obvious typing errors, some appreciating the efforts put in and some being absolute stinkers where even my sense of morality was questioned ( I got a whole bunch of them when I wrote an incest story)

As a writer one has to be ready for all kinds of responses. In fact to receive a response whether positive or negative is a big achievement as it means it touched the responder at some level.

I have no qualms about my chosen genre and rather enjoy peoples' reactions that wary from awkwardness to becoming extremely obscene as if my stories reflect me to be an amoral person who is either to be avoided or a type who would love to indulge in a bit of internet sex.

But, again I take it all in my stride as I'm a comment whoring writer. I live for responses whatever they may be. Yet for a change it would be nice if a hate mail was accompanied with an email id as I'd love to know what brought the wave of negativity.
