[QUOTE=Metanoia;20869953]Well I could have kept my mouth shut, and let it be a surprise when you found out that people were notified. But I gave you a heads-up, which could totally foil some serious entertainment[/QUOTE]
You guys are really gonna mess with my grades and stuff! This isn't very fair-- I don't see why you guys should get to have fun at my expense!
[QUOTE=jakemaheu;20864343]
Nobody listens to the smart kid, though. I'm generally a better, more focused writer than any of the people I know (with a few exceptions), but they just ignore me.[/QUOTE]
:smug:
I was thoroughly confused within the first paragraph. You sir have found yourself a terrible author. The world would be a better place without those stuck up snobby types who think they can actually accomplish something but whine about everything that's "wrong" with their lives.

I thought that the writing was good, but I guess I can't critique at all.
[QUOTE=jakemaheu;20870018]Is it just for me to be punished for exposing these atrocities to the world, then? Let's go back about 7 hours to right before I posted. What if I hadn't? What would she be doing for the rest of high school? What if I had originally posted it on 4chan instead?[/QUOTE]
You have a point. Any artwork/literature should be criticized and nobody is exempt from that.
But this seemed to be a bit more than a "hey, check out this bad writing" post. She seemed to really like you & legit viewed you as a friend, then you came on here and called her a spoiled bitch who writes shitty stories. That's when I decided that I'd like to see it all backfire

LOfuckinL! well played maheu
You're going to get in trouble anyway. Don't ruin the thread. :/

EDIT: You have a good point, Metanoia. Time to bring out the big-boy scissors.[/QUOTE]
I think if you had posted in anonymity, nobody would be having heartburn over this whole thing. If you'd posted on 4chan, people would be showing up at your houses. As for giving as much information as you did, you'll both get some noise from everyone, and then it would have to eventually clear up. Metanoia is right, everyone deserves some critique at some point. Maybe she'll shape up as a writer and I could actually stand to read her work? So many typos, so many conflicting words.

When did I ever call her those things?
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;20864055]Crush her dreams, feel better about yourself![/QUOTE]
And earn the Dreamcrusher Perk. :v:
It's a good thing that absolutely nobody quoted the OP before it was edited

Oh! on that note
[QUOTE=jakemaheu;20864030]A somewhat-friend of mine seems to think that she's actually a good author. She's currently working on a "book" called Finally. She always uses an alias online-- Emily Ann Marie Faith Benjamin. Apparently, she's planning to change her name to it later on.
Anyways, she's created a small site and posted both the prologue and the first chapter of her shitty story. She has a tenuous grasp of the English language, but it seems that she doesn't actually know how to write good fiction. The bitch actually managed to work most of her friends into the story, including myself. I told her repeatedly to not include me, but she really doesn't listen. My name IRL is Jake, so she put me in as "Jake Xavier". She's the kind of person who enjoyed the Twilight series, and believes that her entire life is shit, even though she's spoiled. She's obsessed with a guy named David. He's a nice guy, and we share some mutual friends, but she can't shut up about him. From what I've heard, her mom is also a strict Christian. The girl just pisses me off. I can't be a dick, though, since she's friends with my girlfriend.
Here's what has been published so far.

If you can read through the whole thing without vomiting, I salute you. Good luck.
EDIT: She's actually using the webs.com site as both a blog and hosting for her story. Read the posts first, then read the story-- the link is in the sidebar to the left.[/QUOTE]
I don't believe he edited his OP, what a lying bastard, you're not going to fool anyone.

I know, right? People keep making up lies about me and it's gonna get all of us, garry included, in trouble.
EDIT: Why did that guy post that? I didn't write that! I would never write something that mean about her.

Never gonna work dude, you might as well give up on it now.
Especially because there's a post on your twitter telling your girlfriend about how bad you think the girl's book is and if you should tell her.
Who says anyone could even be assed to read through 15 pages of posts? I know I couldn't.

I really have no idea as to what you're talking about. I'm pretty lost here, actually. I come in trying to help, and now there's a bunch of people making false accusations against me.

how about you read the thread you fucking idiot..............................[/QUOTE]
Give me a summary of the last 15 pages.
Stop covering your tracks. We know what you originally did. Besides, the excerpts of your original post on the guestbook can't be edited by you, and you won't be able to cover those up.
Hopefully you'll learn from this.

that's not a false accusation
this is a false accusation: none of this is your fault.

guy posts about how his "friend" is a horrible author & a stupid bitch- but she loves him and includes him in her stories, which he hates. he only gets along with her to appease his gf, who is her friend
people spam the shit out of the poor girl's website/blog. people dig up (lots of) information on everyone involved. I notify his dad & principal that he said some mean stuff. he snips everything, but I have a backup of the OP. I send another message to his principal explaining how he tried to cover up the incident, & linking to the real OP pre-edit.

so in short, for writing rubbish about a student on a forum, you will be euthanized.

he probably can't get in much trouble technically, but his school staff will know that he's a bad person
well at least she has some comments on her page now.
So. The OP has been assfucked by internet detective Metanoia and now he's back tracking and pretending nothing happened.

Well I told him to cover it up, then I told his principal that he did
It's kind of like playing chess against oneself. First I'm worrying about how OP is gonna get out of this one, then I'm worrying that maybe it's too hard for the principal to investigate
good fun :devil:
you're mean metanoia
Her book fucking sucks. At least the prologue sucked because I understood nothing.
And so Fashpunch crushes another self-centered teen who used a creative outlet as a cry for attention and to be unique.
...By Lucifer's Beard, I love this place...
Jesus christ, we're just as evil as /b/.
Haha, oh sweet Jesus.
Wish I hadn't gone to bed when I did now, I could have had a right laugh reading through this as it progressed.
Oh well, it's given me some nice reading while I have my breakfast.
Please, continue.
