Really random question, but...

Post by The Romulan Republic »

Does anyone know how to delete a review on Fanfiction.net? My stories have been getting increasingly spammed by "Guest" reviews which are basically long-tracts of semi-coherent ramblings, and look like they're probably the product of a spam bot, or possibly someone with a severe mental illness. I've tried reporting them, but when I hit the report icon I get a message telling me I can't report guest reviews, but I can log in as the author and delete them.

I can't, however, see anywhere to do so, nor anywhere on the site where I can ask such a question. And its getting really annoying.

On your account page, go to Reviews -> Remove Review
Select the story
Click the button "View Anonymous Reviews" on the right of the Story select
Under "Action" there should be a "Delete" on the right of the Review information.

Got a link to one of your stories? I'm suddenly very curious.
I promise no spam reviews.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

I've posted most of them in the Fiction forum here, but here are a couple which I consider among my better work:

Harry Potter and the Gargoyle's Curse (Harry Potter/Gargoyles): https://fanfiction.net/s/12769170/1/Har ... le-s-Curse

This is probably my most successful story, both in terms of quality of writing (in my opinion) and response from readers.

The Demon of King's Landing (Batman/Game of Thrones): https://fanfiction.net/s/13560023/1/The ... -s-Landing

This is my most recent, thus far only a one-shot.
