agilebritI was pleased this morning to find reviews for my three crossover fics in my inbox this morning. Yay! I thought. Someone else who likes crossovers. I was less pleased when I actually looked at the reviews, however.
For my Spike/Kaylee fic, there was this:
lol angel in the FF verse :)
with IIlyria! hehe
there's a new crossover site you might want to post this at:
W DOT CROSSOVERFIC DOT COM
Yeah, Angel and Illyria? Not really the focus of that story. Did you read all three chapters?
For my seven-chapter, several-thousand word fic, wherein I hook up Jayne and Illyria in the middle of an apocalypse:
lol. fred/illyria and spike in the FF verse... hehe

And for my Faith-in-the-FireflyVerse fic, there was simply this:

One review advertising your site, I wouldn't have minded. However, when you spam me three times, and one of the "reviews" is simply an ad for your site with no comment whatsoever on the fic, and the other two consist of "hehe"? Not a way to get on my good side, there.
It might also help if you used proper spelling and grammar. Because if you're trying to attract people to your site, looking like an illiterate drooling fangirl probably isn't the way to go. And misspelling a character's name (who the hell is IIlyria?) is something I actually rant about, dude.
You FAIL. And I'm seriously thinking about reporting you to FFN for spam.
