I saw something I didn't like in Archive of Our Own today.
So I was reading a really good story and did a review. But then I saw the other comments. There was now an account that posted those nice words but then added the offer to make art for the writer (most likely for a price).
I know digital creators or other artists are looking for work. But honestly, it's the turnoff I found in fanfiction.net. Because many reviewed only for the sake of it.
Writers can't say if their reviews are genuine at all. It may as well be a new kind of trolling. As a writer, it was really disappointing to receive those reviews/comments in ff.net. Why? Because you need just look, and sometimes, there are those comments even on already deleted stories.
Can we stop those pls? If you wanna review, review. Or message the writer in other means if you wanna make offers. But don't use their stories to post your offers. Stop trolling. It's rude.
Perhaps other readers/writers feel differently. As for me, it really just became a pet peeve to me in ff.net. I even deleted practically ALL of my stories there because such messages filled my inbox. And surprise, surprise, reviews with similar intentions still keep coming in. Is it AI work or just trolls? Who knows? But it is a hindrance and causes hurt and offense. It may as well be a taboo in the writing world for me.
