thistlechaserHow disappointing it is when a story with a good idea turns out to be crap.
I love reading stories/books/fics from animal POVs, so when I saw the listing for Animal Tales ("The animals of the HP characters get to talk out.") I saved it to check when I had time. Now yes, "talk out" is somewhat odd wording, but not so odd it made alarms in my head go off.
Having time today, I went to the URL. Skimmed through the header. Got to this:
Author notes: Hehehe if u like this chapter/ficlet then review it well review it even if u don't. I think the next animal will be crookshanks. I don't know tell me which one u want done and I'll attempt to write it
Bah. I'd leave a review mentioning that typing like that tends to drive off certain types of readers, but last time I did that, I got flamed to hell and back. It's such a sad thing, people accepting and defending such painful writing/typing/grammar.
