Kimi asked, "What's a flame?"

[elucreh]

A flame is an insensate attack on you by an online person. In this case it was a review of my newest and tenderest fic, telling me that my version of R/H love was twisted and sick and that he/she/it would never see Ron in the same light again.

I didn't realise how much being flamed hurt. I mean, I knew it happened, but I figured it was just one of those things you laughed off. And sure, I've laughed at some of the ill-spelt and incoherent ones I've seen.

But something that accused my work--my sweet innocent little fic of being perverted cut a little too close to the bone.

And what was twisted about it anyway? Has this person read no other fanfiction at all? That fic is cliche from beginning to end and that version of Ron is taken from over half the fics written with him in them!

Blast him. Her. It.

aww, don't let this silly persons comment hurt you so much! That person really doesn't have any fanfic experience at all! Nothing about your fic is weird or twisted at all.
