It appeared as if the author in question (refer to the post below) actually read that post, because minutes after I posted it, I received a PM from her. Here's how it goes:

Hello! Okay, I know you really hate me as an author.
Not only for my dannatissimi grammatical errors, but also for my stupid and
sappy stories.
Then I suggest you:If my fics make you puke, frown and freak the hell out of
you, then maybe, you should avoid reading them.
However, I thank you for your reviews because you made me realize why I
shouldn't have stopped using and studying English after leaving the
Philippines;and that was 10 years ago... Now, I must start reviewing it
again.
Thanks.

As you can clearly see, somebody got pissed off. So anyway, I wasted no time in replying, and here's what I said:
--------------------
You flatter yourself if you think your insignificant existence on this site is enough to elicit hatred from me. I've seen and flamed far too many authors to crown you as the one I hate most. So you obviously haven't read any of my other reviews, some of which are a lot harsher than the one(s) I've given you.
And your stories are undeniably sappy, mushy, cheesy and what not, so if you want to contradict me, go ahead. I'll crush your argument like a peanut under a steamroller.
So what you're saying is I hunt down your stories and enrich my reviews with all the expletives I know? Again, you flatter yourself if you think I pick on you in particular. I 'flame', as people like you like to call it, stories when I think they're incorrigibly bad because I know that nothing else
will get through the authors' thick heads. When people go 'Oh, this story is the best I've ever read!' that's not a review. Review is not synonymous with eulogy, in case that's the delusion you're under.
I'm glad the message finally managed to penetrate that thick skull of yours. And if you think I'm in the slightest bit interested in the fact the you left the Philippines ten years ago, you're wrong. I wouldn't have cared even it were a hundred. Facts are facts, and your English is mediocre. I'm glad you've
decided to start reviewing your English all over again, because you have a long, long way to go, so the sooner you start, the better.
So stop being so narcissistic and admit to your own faults.

She's probably convalescing from this attack, so I can't guarantee that she'll reply. But if she does, I'll just put it up in my next blog post.
And just for the record, this author has made it three times to my blog. Yes, I was referring to her in the post 'And They Snap Back Like Snapping Turtles!'

dude, i've read a work of the author in question. i... i don't know what to say. the story is as sappy as a goddamn joke. man. words can't account for the cheesiness she came up with. i mean i'd written a sappy fic, alright, but before doing so, i made sure i had put in quite an effort to beautify the prose even if it wouldn't seem to work i STILL tried to make it happen. in her case, it's as if she wrote in as a blogspot, without the the slightest intention to, er, present something decent in terms of prose. so, yeah, i guess there's more to say, but it's not like my articulation can make up for what her failure necessitates. and, kaiser, i hope you're well. i haven't been having enough time to check on things i wann check out, ffn, in particular.
It certainly took me more will-power and tenacity than I would normally exercise while reading to go through <>her<> works. Sappy is a total understatement, because her works are insults to the intelligentsia, of which you and me are undeniably a part. So it's tantamount to personal offense (her works). But then she went and actually attempted at offending me with that abhorrently written PM of hers. She was actually trying to make me feel guilty, can you believe that? But her ignominious grammar sorta killed all her sincere efforts at... uh... redeeming herself in my eyes. <>I know you really hate me as an author.<> Sheesh, what does she think? That I have a personal grudge against her? She obviously didn't get a bit of my constructive criticism(s), which was/were not intended to be constructive in any way, since I don't and will never care in the least about a loser like her.Right? Same here. I usually work toward making up for the sappiness of the story by enhancing my language. Hell, most of my one-shots are sappy as hell. But hers redefines sappy. It defines a whole new dimension of sappiness that an innocent outsider wouldn't deem possible. Exactly. I mean, she's not the only author who takes writing so flippantly- There are many others whom I've flamed, and you guys have as well in the past. I mean, people don't usually take kindly to flames and the most redundant retaliation to a flame by a bystander is probably that we'll be depriving us of great authors in the future if we downplay them like that and obliterate their self-confidence. But my philosophy is that people who don't admit their mistakes and don't recognize advice when it slaps them on the face are hopeless, and so flaming them isn't going to worsen their condition. They're incorrigible.Yeah, there was a lot more I could have said, now that I think of it. But what the heck, I'm sure a pea-brained roach like her is bound to write another story that's as bad.What irked me the most was that even after writing for like 2 or 3 years now she hasn't shown even the slightest signs of improvement. And then she has the audacity to snap back at me like that. So I gave her what she deserved: A downtrodden ego. HahaI'm well, thank you very much. Hope you're well too. I can understand. So it's best that I relish the times I can spend on ffn, 'coz in another year or so I'll be hellishly busy too. By the way, Long Fall sent me a PM a few days ago, which means there're chances of his return! Looking forward for you to update Vault and Strider to write another story. =)
