I *swear* some people can't read!

kk, so I haven't been around these past few days because of random crap (friend of family died, some family member I never met died, Brandi being rushed to the vets because she took yet another reaction to her shots and finding out that doctors think my grandfather will die in a few weeks), so I've mostly just been reading manga and watching anime. But today I received a review that just had me laughing so hard I *have* to comment on it!

Background Info: A couple of months ago I was in search for a new fanfic archive and found a place called False Memories so to check it out I posted A Love Story to it and today I got my first review:

I think this stroy is...no offense...gay. Not because I don't like the story, beacause if you say Kaiba has a husband, that makes him gay, which, i think, makes the stroy gay. Kaiba would not have a husband! He's a guy! Maybe you should change it to the only daughter of the prime Ministeral. Other than that i like it! :)


LMAO! Can they not read?!?! Not only did I list Shonen-ai as a "warning" for the fic but also have it listed in the summary that it is a Bakura/Malik and Seto/Yami fic. I also find it hilarious that the only person they were concerned about being gay is Seto. Y'know I've only watched every episode of the anime and read all but a few books of the manga yet apparently I've somehow missed all the "obvious" straight stuff that Seto does. I could have swore that it was only Jou, Honda and Yugi who reacted to Mai when they first met her (as a side note: Ryou was also in that scene and did nothing, hehe cute little gay boy he is).

lol- it's amazing what some people focus on! (Now trying to think of what 'obvious' straight stuff I missed!)

Sorry to hear about your last few days- sending some hugs your way, hope they can help a little.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa and all the other RL stuff... *hugs*

And obviously this person can't read because he/she/it managed to misspell "story" twice as well as "Prime Minister." And "because." And probably the only reasons the other words are spelled correctly is by sheer accident - I'll bet instead of "gay" she meant "cookie," and that's why she's mad. Not nearly enough cookies in the clearly labeled shonen-ai "stroy."

sorry for you bad news.
lol two words for her: stupid reader :p
*laugh* it looks like she's requesting you a mary sue fic or something.
woot or else she didn't know shounen ai meaning.

Sorry about all your real life crap... I've only just gotten myself back into gear today.

Don't worry about the review... obviously the reader wasn't doing much in the way of reading :p
