Pages

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

I've been pushed over the edge, and I don't care.

I love indie authors, but I’m more for the readers here. I share whatever comes to my page because I never know what tastes my readers may have- even if I personally don’t like the book. I never turn down an author, and I try my best to make sure my word is seen through. There are sometimes that I can’t; sorry, but my real life is more important than the internet. But when that happens I am willing to bend over backwards to try and make it up- and break my word doesn’t happen often. I think it happened twice, maybe three times now.
I’m heading up to my year anniversary and have meant some great people… Too bad I’ve also met some less than pleasant ones. I will share ANYTHING unless you are rude to me. I won’t tolerate it. I get being disappointed, or upset, but being a flat out bitch will put you on the ignored list.
This list seems to be growing and it honestly hurts me. I don’t want to make anyone mad, or sad, but I need to stand up for what I believe in as well.
I have a great admin here who is opinionated and loyal as hell. She has been around through thick and thin (though you wouldn’t know it, she is a silent person.) Attack her, and I don’t really care why you did it, and you can believe my ugly head is going to rise up.
This isn’t a fight I want to have. It’s not something I want to see my fans, or admin go through, but shit is already getting way out of hand. Now I NEED to say something.

Here are the rules to my page, if you don’t like them get out.

First, it’s MY page; I will post whatever I want on here. Which means if you have some petty ass dispute with one of the authors I share keep it to yourself. I’m not playing that game. Now, if she/he pulled some major bs and attacked you without cause and you can prove it, message me and we will talk.
I won’t allow anyone to mess with my fans, either.

Second, I promise my HONEST OPINION. How many times have I said this now? This goes for my admin(s) as well. HONESTY is the very backbone of this page. If I don’t like your book, I WILL say so. So will my admin. Now if you’re impatient and want to see a review before it has been edited, then that is at your own risk. Never rush my reviews, it doesn’t look pretty until it’s been polished by the second pair of hands.
Why am I bringing this up? Simple, everyone is upset when they feel something wasted their time or cash. Everyone wants to lash out at first until they’ve been slapped back into civil person mood by their logical outside voice of reason. Once that voice is heard though, we realize our actions were not the best and turn down a different route. Reviews can be the same way. Hell, half of mine don’t make any sense until I’ve had someone else glance over it- and this includes five stars.
So expect HONESTY (which means I will give out three stars and lower if I believed the book deserved it) and please DON’T RUSH. If I am busy and say so, please be patient.

Third, if you want to talk crap about me, fine, but taking it to the extreme where your gang of besties are clogging up my inbox with hate is not okay. I will screen shot it and maybe even post it up. I WILL NOT PUT UP WITH BS. I’m tired of being bullied because I didn’t enjoy your book. I’ve written one star reviews for some big named published authors as well. I’m not here to lie and kiss ass, sorry. My foot is going down now.

Fourth, I will post anything as long as you are respectful. Call me a hooker, I don’t care. But calling me a lazy bitch because I didn’t post it at the exact time you wanted without giving a shit about why I couldn’t be online is ridiculous. You will be listed and asked to leave.


I’ve said this all before, but I guess it needs to be said again. I’ve never tried to downplay who I am and what I expect; maybe I wasn’t too clear with it though. I am not a doormat; I will not lie down and take disrespect like I’ve seen. And I won’t deal with my friends going through it either. I am Vampy, a blunt reader who has an opinion and isn’t afraid to share it with the world. Hear me hiss, baby.
