SWANKIVY SIGHTINGS
LITERARY CRITICISM
- Impish Idea: My essay on Eragon is listed as "SwankIvy's famous essay" in this site's resources.
- Eragon Sporkings: A fan of Paolini's work complains that it makes no sense for anti-fans to keep reading his books. Some commenters elaborate on the phenomenon and reference me.

- Comic Fury's discussion of G. Tesch: My video criticizing the promotional techniques of G. Tesch is discussed in this forum thread. Be warned: a couple of the participants think I'm a bitch and say so unapologetically.
MY WEBCOMIC

- Silverpaperplate painted my character Dax on canvas in acrylic. There's also a YouTube video documenting the process.
CRITICISM AND TROLLING
- "Awful Site of the Day" on Something Awful: Got puked upon by Andrew "Garbage Day" Miller on July 22, 2010. References my comprehensive debunking of G. Tesch's misleading advertising strategies and proceeds to present a list of the things I like and the things I do while presenting my existence as pathetic.
- Music video on YouTube: G. Tesch VERY briefly has my face spliced into one of her videos (superimposed with the word "ratchet," wow, hardcore) in which she is dancing around clearly thinking she is issuing a resounding in-your-face at me for daring to criticize her terrible promotional tactics and exposing her lies. Obviously it's easy for people like her to claim I'm a "hater" instead of actually addressing the criticism or refraining from committing the sins I pointed out. Too bad everyone who knows the situation (read: everyone who's ever Googled her, since my criticism of her is more popular than her actual work) knows how desperately she would like to be able to do what I'm doing, writing-wise.
- "Justify Your Crap" on xenex.org: Received a borderline incoherent and seemingly deliberately convoluted "review" of my short story "Clouds." Written by Stevehen J. Warren.
- TheForum: In a thread entitled "I Take The Internet Seriously And Made Page About Assholes," a user called "AlterEgo" calls for folks to send me sexual offers and rape/death threats. They criticize my website, use a lot of foul language, and call me ugly a lot. Ho-hum. (You have to be a TheForum member to read this thread.)
- The Internet Is Terrible: My YouTube video "Stupid" got listed under "This video is 9 min long" on a site dedicated to posting the worst sites on the Internet.
- Asexuality, Porn, and Me: A LiveJournal member submits a rather confused-sounding criticism of my published article "Asexuality isn't Antisexuality," suggesting that my definition of asexuality isn't inclusive enough because I exclude people who experience sexual attraction.
