Camilla Sandman,
The following review has been submitted to: Norwegian Journey Chapter: 1

From: Amon Aredhel ( http://www.fanfiction.net/u/618710/ )

-------------------

Your story has been added to my C2 archive for bad Doomsday stories.

The C2

*blinks again*

*bursts out laughing*

Oh, precious. Brilliant. She's apparently left reviews for all the fics she archived, all 131 of them. Even adding stories by people who've given her nice reviews. Is someone trying to start up trouble or really, really want attention or going on a crusade or what? Either way, I'm amused.

Particulary when I peeked at her stuff, complete with random tense switches. Brilliant!

Will there be wank? Will there be insulted authors? Will miss "Amon Aredhel" get flamed? Will the intention behind turn out to be more complex than "EWWWWW!"? Only time and Time Lords can tell.

To be continued if it turns out to be exciting follow-ups, oh yes.

Her name looks awefully familiar, though. Wonder why... (Aside from the obvious LotR reference.)

ETA: Ah, I see she has "An Adventure in Norway" on there as well. Hum, is she going after every post-"Doomsday" but her own or what?

ETA2: Oooh, from her profile: First, if you are unhappy about me adding one or more of your Doctor Who Doomsday stories to my C2 for bad stories, my advice to you is to write a better story next time so no one wants to put it in a badfic comm. I will not remove stories from the comm unless the author improves them and lets me know I should take another look. If I agree there was enough improvement, the story will be removed from the comm. If the story is still bad, it will stay there. If you think I'm mean, I suggest you visit http://www.godawful.net/forums Compared to those posters, I am the Easter Bunny.
If for any reason the comm is deleted, rest assured it will return and will only take about 10 minutes to put back together. You can run, but you can't hide.

AHAHAHAHA. Oh, precious. Precious! The GAFF mention does make me wonder, though.

ETA3: Aww, someone gave her a bad review last week.

ETA4: She keeps editing the various things and took away her cute little threat, the spoilsport. Sniffle. In fact, one would almost wonder if someone was giving her pointers, given that she has also fixed the GAFF url. Huuuuuuum.

Really? I loved "Norwegian Journey"!! I think it summed up pretty much how I felt after Doomsday.

Hmmm, will have to watch these developments closely!

*hi*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hi right back.

Oh, people will dislike what they dislike and one person's treasure is another one's crap and all that. It's more the fact that she reviews everyone to tell them they've been added that strikes me as rather amusing and inviting wank.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well, I can sort of understand someone wanting to do this - it's an amusing idea, in a nasty sort of way. But I fail to see how your fic qualifies as bad. Perhaps she's just finding all the post-Doomsday fics she can, and archiving the lot of them.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I've been at GAFF many years. I can certainly understand what badfic can inspire. But reviewing all the authors and telling them this, including people who'd reviewed her favourably gives me wanky vibes, oh yes.

So I wonder, I do.

And I know I know her from somewhere, dammit. But where? Argh.

[satiate.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

so... she's against anything post-doomsday? is that what her issue is? but ... i...


let's hope she doesn't find my post-doomsday fic on whofic, lol. i tend to take stuff like that personally lol.


and i am absolutely boggled that she would archive YOUR fics. of all people! your grammar and spelling is perfect, your plots interesting... YOU DO NOT WRITE BADFIC!

*flails*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Can't make C2s like that on whofic, so she'll have to find some other way of expressing her "EWWW!" there, I guess.

*shrugs* People's definitions will vary. But she could do with some fic improvements herself, if she's so keen on them. Start at home and all.

[vaskalcorp.livejournal.com]

She needs to update her forum link to GAFF.

How unprofessional looking!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Must not have been there in a while, I guess.

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

You can run, but you can't hide?

Bless.

Trying to police post-Doomsday fic. How precious.

*is tempted to post awful WIP post-Doomsday fic with horrible Farscape crossover elements*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know I'm so terrified, aren't you?

This really is precious and almost inspiring. She's trying to be so hardcore and awww, isn't she cute? Can't hide indeed.

This fandom brings the awesome crack.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Did she archive it through LJ? She can get her account terminated for that kind of threatening tone.

What a bitch. All kinds of pathology there, methinks.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No. FF.net. Admittedly, that is a common home to dreck and a good place to start hunting for badfic.

[cedara]

Gee misscam, you never said you'd write badfic! ;-D

*snicker*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I wanted it to be a surprise and gift-warp it first.

[honorh.livejournal.com]

How impolite of you. Don't you know you're supposed to flame her undies off for that sort of thing so she can start a whole wanky war, end up OMGSOFAMOUS on F_W? And here you are, snickering about her SO SERIOUS archive. Really--have you no manners at all?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That takes energy and I am lazy. Which I suppose means I have no manners at all, ohnoes.

Besides, someone else is bound to and that way, I can watch the fun from the sidelines.

[fannishnonsense]

Sounds like someone has way too much time on their hands...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Boredom is so dreadful to suffer, I guess.

[me2you.livejournal.com]

*is not a DW fan. Cares not* BUT,

Would it not make so much more sense to archive all of the good ones?

"This is a C2 for all the bad Doomsday stories that have been posted. There are so many awful ones! Problems with the stories include:lousy characterisationunrealistic plotspoor or no explanation for eventsway too much saphorrible song lyrics songfics also violate site TOS and should not be here in the first place"

Ouch. My poorly brain :(

"If for any reason the comm is deleted, rest assured it will return and will only take about 10 minutes to put back together. You can run, but you can't hide."

and that? Is just sad. Really, it is.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

But that's so conventional!

I thought it rather cute how she tries to be all threatening and stuff.

[oddlyfamiliar.livejournal.com]

That is quite possibly the funniest thing I've heard all day. I'm almost tempted to join the fandom, and write a post-Doomsday fic, just to see if it finds it's way there.

And the summary for the C2 made me fall off my chair laughing - there's nothing better than missing spaces and crushing words together when you're trying to talk about how terrible other people's writing is...


Okay, I'm quite freaked out now though, I've just looked at her profile, and I know a Raz from North Lincolnshire (which borders East Yorkshire), and I'm actually in East Yorkshire at the minute... I wonder...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you could - after all, doesn't seem to be a that special honour to get on it with over 100 there. Then you too could be a badfic writer. Awesome, eh?

Ooops. Always fun to discover when they live near you, isn't it?

[faded-memories.livejournal.com]

What I don't get is how the stories she linked to "also violate site TOS and should not be here in the first place". I'm sure that some of them might (statistically speaking), but not all of them do.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I think she meant some of them were songfics, which indeed does violate site TOS, even if the TOS doesn't explicitly says so.

[sc-angel72.livejournal.com]

What I want to know is who crowned this particular person Queen of Fanfic and gave her the sooper speshul ability to decide without fault what constitutes goodfic and badfic respectively. Because last I checked, outside of serious grammer/spelling/general technical issues (such as... oh... brutally switching tenses) what makes fic good or bad is pretty darn subjective.

What blows my mind is that this person took quite a bit of time out of her life solely for the purpose of putting other people down and attempting to place herself in a position of power. Smacks of more than a few issues to me. And is rather sad and pathetic in the end.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Because last I checked, outside of serious grammer/spelling/general technical issues (such as... oh... brutally switching tenses) what makes fic good or bad is pretty darn subjective.

I'm hoping that forgetting to mention characterisation and plot consistancy was just a momentary lapse of attention. ;)

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Uh, okay, if you write badic, what do we do? Hit the keyboard randomly? I am intrigued where this is going...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Somewhere amusing, one hopes. I could do with a good laugh.

[scarlettgirl.livejournal.com]

::falls over laughing::

God, I LOVE FANDOM!!!!

Poor dear is obviously suffering from msscribe envy. I knew msscribe and you, little fanbrat, are no msscribe!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

But she is so widdle and cute when she tries so hard! Come on, don't you want to just pet her?

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

I don't know how she managed to read anything over at GAFF. The forums are always down. (Why isn't there a mirror site on a better server?)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Money issue? Trying to shake off all but the very dedicated?

[cincoflex.livejournal.com]

petty, petty petty--no one will ever thank for for creating such a community, and certainly a word to the folks running FFN should be in order, if only to go through the motions and proper channels.

And if this is in response to getting a bad review herself--that's so very, very pathetic.

*needs a good stiff Diet Dr. Pepper*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure someone will report her to ff.net, if they haven't already. If it's actually against any rule at ff.net, I don't know.

I don't know if it is in response to getting a bad review, but the timing is interesting.

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

Heee, that is just precious. Kinda makes me want to hug her. And then smack her upside the head for being a self-important wanker.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I want to pet her and make her fetch sticks and punctuation.

[dragonlp86.livejournal.com]

Note to self: Never read any of Miss Cam's posts and/or comments located in Miss Cam's journal while drinking.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You need to learn to hold your beverages :P

[maramyanet.livejournal.com]

That's bull you're one of the top 3 best fanfic writers for this ship!

Everyone should follow the golden rule - if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.

: )

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, everyone should be entitled to give their opinions, I think.

But that goes both ways, after all. Which certainly means I can point and laugh when I spot something funny.

[aelie-baby.livejournal.com]

Oh man. That is utterly priceless. I mean... completely priceless. I can't even think of a well-thought out response I'm laughing so hard.

[satiate.livejournal.com]

ahaha. omg, your icon. *worships*

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

Ain't the world a wonderful place? I guess if you go on GAFF a few times that makes you the one and only person who can tell good fic from bad fic.

Don't let it bother you. (I know you're not.) In the long run, she won't matter.

I think I need a drink now.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

So since I've been at GAFF for years and years, you'd think I'd be an even greater expert, no? And there's people who's been on it even longer than me - hey, what about those who started it? They must be the ultimate quality judges!

Actually, I'm very pleased - fandom was making me sigh, now I'm all up again. Crack, wank, flames - it's glorious for those of us who find such things entertaining. Which would be me, naughty that I am.

I do have a wankshelter bar - what drink would you like?

[anitchka.livejournal.com]

A big thank you to "SC" and "R_E" for their kind words and telling me there is an author who was so angry I added her horrible story to my C2 that she posted a huge rant on her LiveJournal. Obviouslyhearing an honest negative opinion was too much for her ego.


Yeah, I got nothing except LOLLERSKATES.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It just gets better and better.

[ressie-noldo.livejournal.com]

Now why do I have a terrible, terrible urge to write a four-way fandom-y crossover with a large shovelful of post-Doomsday emo!angst and post it?

Poor little thing, though. You can practically see the lack of intelligence dripping from every tortured, mis-punctuated sentence.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Because you want to join the fun?

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

Your story has been added to my C2 archive for bad Doomsday stories.

Heh. Don't you just love those reviews that say more about the reviewer than about your story?

I'm one who believes that a person doesn't really need to be a great writer to be a good critic, but... well, when you pull something like this, it's probably not in your best interest to have kind of laughable writing. :P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Your writing is certainly the first things that others will look when you do something like that, yes.
