   ...why me...

I'm particularly sad today everyone. First, I feel horrible because I'm sick. However, its mainly because of something that happened on fanfiction.net. Ok, so I updated my story, "What We Left Behind" for Naruto. And I said That I would update again when I got 50 reviews. Well today I get on and there are 5 more reviews. I read them, but one gets me in particular. In fact, I'll past what he/she said(It said anonymous, so I dont know whether it was a guy or girl)Anyways this was it:

you're asking to much for reviews. I don't get why authors ask for much reviews when their work isn't even that amazing or well written. You're outline is confusing, they're all out of character, Sasuke wouldn't leave an Uchiha child, Sakura as a mother wouldn't do that also! You twist so many things around that you yourself are becoming confused. You have 21 reviews for 2 chapters! That's more than some good stories have! Why the urge to bitch about chapters? Take what you have! You're lucky you even have reviews.
Lighten up.

Now, first, I know they're out of character. Its a freaking fanfiction, THEY DONT HAVE TO BE IN CHARACTER!!! Second, I care for reviews, because whats the point in writing if you dont know if people like it. Some people's self-esteem rides on whether a review is good or bad. The least this person could have done was give me creative criticism. Not bombard me with imperfections, because everyone has they're own opinion. I'm afraid if I update again, I'm going to tell the people that care, that I most likely will discontinue the story due to dispiriting reviews. Honestly, am I wrong to feel bad right now. I worked so hard on this story, just to have someone flat out tell me that it sucks and practically(though they didn't make it obvious) call me a bitch. I need some emotional support right now. Also If the person is going to have the balls to say such things to me, you'd think they'd have the balls to say who they were. However, they just put anonymous. As far as I'm concerned they're just a coward for that. They shouldn't make their inferiority complex my problem. Anyways, I'll stop, and just go bang my head against the wall and continue crying. Later...
