Heartless writer! I really don't like this story! It suck!

I liked this chapter, though as I said on tumblr, I despaired to see Henry VIII's name lol! It'll be interesting to see how Eleanor gets out of her tense situation though! Most of all in this chapter, I liked how you wrote Jane and how her little actions and dialogue showed a lot about her character.

This was a really great chapter! I've really liked reading of the growth of Lady Eleanor, and I loved how, in this chapter, she realised she has a place in the world! But still there was an element of suspense with what will happen to her court and that was really interesting. I wonder what will come of her and Heath!

Oh this was a short but sweet chapter. I liked seeing this sweeter side to Heath and how he is caring for Eleanor, in his own way! It will be exciting to find out what happens with the treasure.

You wrote 23 more chapters of this phuckin shit?
It's terrible, badly written, no plot, wildly inaccurate and just plain shit. You gave no phuckin idea about writing a good story. Let me guess, you're obese, divorced, no real life friends so spend all day watching TV and on the Internet with other retard Fanbrats.
You are a e

Ahem, this is awful.
I wouldn't publish your work on toilet paper, as it would be a waste of paper.
You time would be better spent collecting cans.
A writer you are not. No plot, tense issues, weak characters, historical inaccuracies no depth. You have no idea and no talent. Typical arrogant American fanboy.

What an original concept! I had never even given Eleanor Luke a second thought as soon as she was banished but the possibilities are endless.

I am intrigued about where this story will leave and I am in no doubts that I will be equally delighted with the rest of the story as I was with the first chapter.

My only complaint is that the first chapter is too short. I want more, more, more please.

I read on with great vigour.

Oh poor, dear, gentle writer

I have not the heart to tell you that your writing lacks all subtlety, that your storyline is fanciful and puerile, and that whilst your writing is certainly lyrical, it is also pompous, pretentious and lacks all perspicacity.

You profess and pride yourself on being a real novelist, but dear writer, you are by no means Jane Austen or William Shakespeare. Undoubtedly, it would be a compliment to compare you to a Mills and Boon author. You ooze utter trite behind an array of complex words in the hope of seeming what you are not.

Dream of me, dear writer, in your sleep. Think of me when you write. For I will always be here to critique your work.

Yours faithfully, dear writer

Athenais Penelope Clemence chapter 23 . 6/28/2015
Good morning!

I hope you are having a good weekend, relaxing and distracting yourself from a stressful business week.

It has come to my attention that many stories were spammed on the Tudors fandom and on the Robin Hood BBC fandom, so that many reviewers received strange reviews of despicable nature as if from my name and even as if from another author. I have to apologize for what happened in my name and in the name of all others, though I have nothing to do with that.

At first, I thought that it could be a troll “Cherry”, a well known troll on the Tudors fandom, as I was told by some old members of the Tudors fandom. Then I began to think that it was the campaign targeting personally me because some stories on the RH BBC fandom were also spammed while I’m posting many stories on the RH BBC fandom, which means that some other authors were involved in this dirty campaign and became the victims. I’m more than 100% sure that I and nobody else was targeted.

Many people on the fandom know that I pulled down the chapters of my long epic “Anne Boleyn: life-death-rebirth” and had converted it into the series of historical novels about Anne Boleyn written in the genre of alternate history. It is not a secret to anyone that I have many followers on the Tudors fandom who read this long story about Anne Boleyn, and some of them were very displeased that the story would no longer be available on the fandom for free.

I have always been quite transparent and talkative, and I have very close friendly relations with some of my followers; with many of them, I exchanged emails, and some of them even know my skype and I talked to them. One of such close friends turned out to be not quite “a friend” because she (she is the girl) wanted the story for free and called me a money-making and hypocritical soul, saying that she will teach me a lesson; I blocked her and forgot about her, but yesterday I remembered about her. I wrote to this girl a long letter, and she answered to me, denying that she had ever done anything.

Well, it is my right as a writer to publish my story if a literary agent wants to have my novels published and if I have a contract with a publisher. I promised to make announcement about the novels, and I will soon do that because I know that many people are interested. I’m sorry if you wanted to continue reading the story on this fandom and I pulled down the chapters; I acknowledge that perhaps it can seem that I’m being a bit selfish in this matter. But, well, I published some novels and business papers before, and I see nothing bad in publishing another novel. So, you can say that I’m a novelist because I’m a published author and soon more novels will be released, and it is not a secret on this fandom for anyone because there is a link to my website in my profile and there is also information about my Anne Boleyn novels in my long epic “Anne Boleyn: life-death-rebirth”. I know that many people who invested their heart and soul into reading this long story were heartbroken when I pulled the chapters down, but you have my word that the novels will be finished and released and that I will let you know about that in a due time; if I’m not making any announcement, it means that something is happening – right now I’m changing my publisher and first novel is being republished.

Yesterday, in the late night, something dreadful happened to me. All my emails, including personal and corporate emails, were hacked, and lots of spamming and despicable information was sent from my emails to my business partners, causing a great chaos in my business and private life. My facebook, my twitter, and my tumblr account were also hacked. Then, much information disappeared from my laptop that started working very badly, and finally something happened to my Apple Macbook Pro and it just stopped working. Well, this is surely a business attack on me, an attack from a corporate world that can be rather cruel to those who found business that develop, grow, fall, struggle to survive, or thrive in any particular industry. In my country, I’m quite a public person (or I have to be at times, though I don’t like that) because I’m a Senior Executive Vice President in a certain company (I don’t pretend that I have made a great career because I haven’t – I’m just running my father’s family business), and I have made some enemies who can wish to take a personal revenge against me, for example, by stealing information and damaging my reputation in any way possible. As I’m quite transparent about myself (I have to change that, I guess), and there is information about my fanfiction account on my tumblr page and in some other sources. You can make a conclusion what it means.

Currently, software engineers from my company are working on the hacked emails and the toughening of software security measures. Poor men, I had to call them on the weekend because corporate email was hacked and information was stolen. They discovered that there were too many “searching and witnessing” viruses on my poor MacBook, which had appeared there a long time ago and had reported some interesting things about me to their “host” – person X who caused me a great trouble in private and business life. Hacks of emails, websites, and trolling business might be a part of the same chain, and they most likely are. Fortunately, my father’s laptop has not been discovered to have been infected, so I can begin dealing or trying to deal with the consequences of the mess.

It looks like a villainous act of personal revenge against me with roots in business and corporate environment – with roots in RL (real life). That said, these trolls are going after me and only after me, making others suffer, which I hate from the bottom of my heart. I want to give you my heartfelt apologies, apologues travelling to you through the screen from the bottom of my heart because I know how terrible you can feel when you day is spoiled by a bad review of a strange nature or a flame. I can assure you that I will do everything possible and impossible to try to deal with that in RL and in Internet too, if this has something to do with that.

If it makes your life easier and if you still blame me for something, I can tell you one thing: I’m already past caring about what happened on because hacks of my corporate email and mailing of despicable emails with my details and even some information about confidential transactions (this information has been apparently hacked from my laptop while I didn’t know about that) make my life the living hell because I have to deal with my business partners and some of important transactions will probably be not proceed as it was planned due to the caused embarrassment and fallouts with business partners. Still, I apologize if what happened to you spoiled your mood and made your angry. I do hope that it will be over soon, and we will be able to move on.

If you have any other questions, you can always ask me through a private message. If I don’t reply to your PM on the same day, it doesn’t mean that I’m a troll – it only means that I’m busy in RL or that I don’t have access to Internet. I’m an absolutely real person who even gives links to my blog, my twitter, and my facebook page on my fanfiction profile; I’m searchable in Internet through these links. My publisher encouraged me to be as transparent as possible, but I maybe I should change that (I think I will). The magnitude of the damage caused by the attack against me is just too great, the mess is morbidly great.

Believe me that I’m very frustrated because some good life in Internet, including my writing life in my blog and on , as well as on some forums where I often engage into debates, is one of the few things that makes me happy in RL as I’m usually very busy, running business which I don’t want to run and as I have many troubles in RL too, like we all have. We come in Internet for fun, instead everything can be hacked one day and then you have to apologize over and over again, feel embarrassed and heartbroken, and perhaps even leave some websites for your own good. So I understand your frustration very much – I’m experiencing a mixture of conflicting emotions now – pain, embarrassment, rage, anger, fury, and even astonishment.

I feel that I want to stay away from for a while. I have enough trouble in RL right now. And my writing life (I mean my novels) is also full of events. I finished my new Anne/Henry AU a day ago for the people who read me and for my own satisfaction too (which I feel every time I finish writing something), and I planned to post it on this weekend, but I don’t want to do that.

PS. Please be aware that I posted the same long review to the stories which I found out had been spammed. If I missed someone, then I apologize for my inaccuracy in tracking down those people who were offended. I’m also going to post that in my profile.

I wish you best of luck on the coming week. Please take care of yourself in RL.

Oh my dear, this is simply dreadful.

You lack the elegant witticism and a grasp of the English language to write well, poor thing. It lacks all common sense, creativity and good old fashion skill. But dear writer, with time and effort I am sure you will be able to scrape this drivel from the curb and at least make it semi readable because at this moment in time it is utter tosh I am sorry to say.

Ever yours faithful reader

Heath is back! I so want them to be happy together. I also loved Eleanor's kicking Stephen. She's really grown so much as a character; I can't see her doing something like that at the beginning of the story.
a-mild-looking-sky chapter 23 . 5/30/2015
Wow great chapter! I love the intrigue of this story and you keep Lady Eleanor's story so interesting! This was such an exciting scene, especially with the return of Heath Blackwell. Though I couldn't help but notice that you put Heath Ledger in one sentence instead of Heath Blackwell! Just thought I would let you know ;)
orderfleurdelys chapter 22 . 3/10/2015
I totally forgot about this story, it is still just as intriguing and fun as ever.

And you have really improved on your writing skills.

Well done you, can't wait for more originality!
demonbarber14 chapter 22 . 2/28/2015
Heck yeah, Eleanor! She needs to get away from Lady Agatha as soon as possible! I think it's really sketchy that Helga told her about Eleanor's going up to the study. It would be one thing to be alone in a house with Lady Agatha, but to have to live with Lady Agatha and all her spies/servants...Eleanor has to get out of there!
a-mild-looking-sky chapter 22 . 2/24/2015
Oh, I just love the title of this chapter, with its double meanings - so clever! Eleanor was so interesting here, weaving her way into Lady Agatha's affections while researching by herself and then trying to escape! I love seeing her develop into such a brave girl, ready and willing to do that! I wonder what will happen! This was a really exciting, good chapter :)
