Aye! I just had a sort of- experience in which a certain large author blocked me because I asked if their story took inspiration from a certain game… Can I talk about it here? Share what happened with other users?
You are but not bash the person specifically, just talk about or base your opinion on their actions. Judge ideas, not people.
And I’m sure you’re talking about Cindy.
She got offended when I made a thread about one of her stories Lifelike having so much pornography in it. Same with her story, Dirty Little Secret and the author of The Infected messaged me saying that she got upset even though it was never my attention to upset Cindy just because I made a thread about the story and got so mad when people criticised her story.
If you’re an author, you should expect criticism.
ohhhhh Cindy, everyone was talking about it when I saw someones story highlight showing the convo…
OOF. How did you know?
I suggested that her story, Lifelike, was inspired by Detroit: Become Human. Y’know. Androids, them becoming deviant/concious.Them being sent to camps to be destroyed. Canada being the safehaven for androids (I think she calls them droids) kinda sealed the deal for me. She blocked me, apparently?
Like… I haven’t even read the full story. I’m sure there’s more similarties.
Kinda ironic, considering there was that story she called a ‘rip off’ of Envy, and she worked really hard to try to get it removed. When some of her stories seem kinda heavily inspired as well…
Shes such a drama queen.
Everyone’s been saying that about her story and so have I. That’s how I know.
It did. It even had sex bots and people giving head.
Double oof, oh my god, really? I just finished the game like a week or two ago and saw the comparisons. How could she really do that to DBH? Now I have to read the story to see the other similarities.
Tell me about it. When Caitoriri messaged me to close the thread, I didn’t listen since she did try to silence others.
Exactly!!
Nothing so adventurous about that. Plus, I didn’t like that it involved conversations about threesomes and the ex partner shames the MC for disagreeing.
Catoriri is like her little minion.
Also, one of my friends messaged Cindy saying that Sorority Stalker is not a copy of Envy as both stories have different storylines.
Sorority Stalker = story about sorority girls being killed by a serial killer
Envy= Story about cheerleaders being killed by a serial killer.
Both about serial killers but different storylines.
But Cindy blocked my friend after that comment on IG. Real mature, Cindy.
Exactly.
I lost respect for Caitoriri after that PM. I wanted other people to express their thoughts about the story yet Cindy decided to be such a drama queen without PMing me about this so she got Caitoriri to message me on her behalf.
Remember the chick that wrote The Teacher? She even got butthurt when people criticise her for writing stories about teacher-student relationships. Her story The Teacher glorified abusive men, talking about Darryl btw. He was a pure jerk to Mia.
Her story is super predatory.
It’s not romantic that a grown *ss teacher is flirting with a high school who didn’t even reach the age of consent yet.
Exactly!
Plus, stories like these can be traumatising for people who have been victims of this situation.
Remember when Shannii messaged her saying that she had friends who have been in that situation? Mette dismissed her saying, “Oh I’m sorry that happened” and proceeds to talk about how butthurt she got over people criticising her story. Same with that Cleo chick who wrote The Lawyer & Me.
Smh
