I want to share a little experience of mine as an author. A certain author stabbed me in the back and made me frustrated. I won't mention his name for now for his privacy. Even though the person in question doesn't even keep my privacy in the first place.
It all started with an author that came from the same country directly DM me and asking me for the experience. Well, as usual, I just replied to him with kindness and somehow he didn't feel like communicating with me normally and uses a haughty tone. I knew that because how he chats with me is totally different from the one he chats on the forum. I still put it aside and kindly remind him about that issue. Well, he remained the same even after that. I gave up since I know he wouldn't change.
Then he started going to my story and posted some kind of troll comments. At first, I thought he would be ignorant since he was first contracted with Girl Love. But as it went on, I saw more trolls and malicious comments come from him. I just tired and only told him in a harsher tone. He stopped a bit after that.
And one day, he suddenly popped up on my profile and commented about how he was jealous of me? And deleted it shortly after I replied to him. It made me feel a little creepy from his action.
If the story was just that, then I wouldn't be this angry.
Then recently, he started reading my novels for real. On the way, he pointed out the grammar mistake, I really appreciate that. But it is just 30% of comments, while the rest are still troll comments. By this time, I could no longer stand this man. I decided to block him. He was the only one in my block list since I joined SH.
But a few days after, he sent a DM to me. Well, before I checked up on the DM, I went and checked on the profile first. And guess what?
He posted about himself being blocked and complained about it. Then, I went to the DM and saw his apology. Did you think this apology is sincere? I
I choose not to reply immediately and watch over the other post that I mentioned above. I guess he would respect my privacy a little a bit. But no, today he told others about my name and the novel I wrote. While complained I blocked him because he pointed out grammar mistakes? Seriously?
Then the moment I commented on the post, he immediately deleted it and tried to say sorry in DM. He didn't even dare to say that he was the one wrong in public. And shamelessly ask to be my editor.
Sorry for the long story.
