Flames
Well we care.
And we're done hearing of authors who leave or stop writing, or who get discouraged because these assholes attack our writing, our personality, our self worth. It's bullshit. We've never turned the other cheek and we don't intend to now. We just want to know one thing.
Who's with us?
The Problem: Flames
What the hell are we talking about?:
Here's what we propose. A group of authors all combined with the same goal. To protect and to be protected in return. As a result of this group, members will be supported in their time of need, from flames, from nasty emails, from gossip, rumors, attacks of any kind. In return, they will be called upon to do the same for another member.
In english? We stick up for each other. We have people to support us, back us up. And in return, we get to flame the shit out of any mother fucker that does it to them. To our knowledge, we are the first to create such a group, the first to try something in order to stop the bullshit. Too many people are gone now, memories of ff.net because of a broken spirit. We're tired of it.
Camaro: I'm tired of checking reviews and hearing about what an asshole I am. I'm tired of checking younger author's reviews and seeing fucking dickwads tearing them apart, about their stories, about them personally. In the past, I've had people stick up for me; now, I want to do the same for them.
Bunni: A group of strong people, willing to push back. Members must be loyal, trustworthy, serious about the cause. Their email addresses will be posted on this page when we feel that we've gotten enough members to create a real group. If one of the members feels that they or their story is being attacked, they will either contact
Camaro and Bunni and WE will inform the others, or they can personally do it themselves.
But this must be taken seriously. If a member is called upon and DOES NOT take action accordingly within a week's time, they will be either asked why and must give an acceptable excuse, or they will be expelled from the group. This isn't meant to be a harsh decision; we simply need to know who can be counted upon to fulfill their duty and who isn't serious about their commitement.
This means alot to us. We will never stop the flames. We've come to grips with that reality long ago. We merely mean to create a solution for the distrought author on the receiving end. I mean to push back when others turn the other cheek! And we know we're not alone in this.
To become a member, please send an email to Camaro and Bunni. Therein, you will be added to the list with a confirmation email. As a group, it will be acceptable to send emails WHENEVER you feel threatened, no matter the cause. If you are experiencing flames at this moment and time, joining right away is also acceptable and the problem will be dealt with as decided.
We as authors have a duty to each other.
We're just asking you to show it.
Asha
- known to Fanfiction.net fans as Belle-mortesdream7, Asha, though a new member, has given flamers an intimidating presence that even I could learn from. Very straightfoward and bold, you give the implication that while you dont resort to swears and explicit language, you're not to be messed with. A good girl gone bad when upset, there's no arguing or disagreeing with you. Truly an asset to this group.
Ghost
-you debonaire fop! You amuse me, you excite me. I adore you, what can I say? While well equipped with a vocabulary that could give a four year old a heart attack, Ghost insteads chooses the old approach. The you're-lucky-I'm-in-a-good-mood-or-else, one. Intimidating, inferiorating, suave and sophisticated, he proves to be one of the most irritating, under-your-skin back flamers that I have in this group.
Jen
-A fun, interesting assortment to my members, Jen has truly shown her ability to stand out from the norm and express herself in an unpredictable manner. Rather than pass her flames off as an opinion, she states them as undebatable fact, tossed in with threatening, imposing ideas, and polished off with an arrogant facade. An honor to have you Jen.
Lilly
-my strength, my anger, my love. Part of the undefeatable duo, Lilly has proven her worth to me a thousand times over, earning my respect, my appreciation and more than anything, my undeniable love towards her. Carrying me over mountains, she proves to be the wind, taking me to heights and lengths I could never have achieved without her. Powerful and angry, Lilly's temper could give even MINE a run for its money, leaving me with the knowledge that this group would NOT be the same without her.
Teesh
- my sister in back flaming, Teesh has proved to me time and time again that if there is ANYONE I want on my GOOD side versus my bad, its her. With swears that could make a biker at the Sturgis Rally nauseous, I thank whatever God claims me that I met her on good terms rather than bad. An army on her own and best friend to Lilly, she will forever be the one who I call upon when I need to REALLY screw someone over.
You want a topping on cake? Ask Teesh.
Po
-good girl gone unbelievably bad, Po presents herself as the shy, timid extension of Flame Insurance, only to prove all assumptions wrong by blasting out swears and sentances I didn't even realize she knew! Quirky and quick witted, she busts through all opinions with an array of insults and conceited proclamations about her friends. Not to mention, one of my best friends and the first ever to IM me after the posting of Dark Angel.
A pleasure to have as always.
Venus
-The heart and soul of Flame Insurance, Venus is a powerful ally. Proving that back flaming need not be littered with sentance fragments and naughty worded insults, she stays true to her nature, never betraying her spirituality or the purity of her soul. Honest beyond reason and yet, couth enough to flatter even the most rediculous of authors, I turn to Venus most for support and help. Always there for me, my beautiful, sweet angel, I open my heart to all of her advice, insisting that she will be the one to save my immortal soul.
