I ended up having to state that I was on 'hiatus' quite some time ago along with some disclaimers about not posting new fics recently on both ff.net and Twisting the Hellmouth, which has some of my crossover fic posted - I had a couple of "reviewers" make snide comments about long periods between new postings, and tore some new orifices after explaining WHY I'd taken the hiatus (especially when I was caretaking my grandmother... {raises eyebrow})
You could hear the virtual crickets chirping in the silence after that. RL has to take precedence, especially since real jobs pay for net access, and you can't sustain real world relationships or do real life responsibilities if you spend 100% of your time on line.
The only ones I know that have the "time" to do that are independently wealthy people, children/teens living in Mom and Dad's house, or college students. No one else I know has the time OR the money. I definitely don't juggling two jobs and full time college... I spend too much time on the computer in "recreation" as it is (FB is evil - especially in the Games area)
Your critic needs to come back to reality - or grow up - or some combination thereof.
