My thoughts on Reviews
(#) Poppana 2013-07-31
It kind of amazes me when people are so annoyed they don't get rates on their stories. I mean, what can you expect, with this rating system? I burn through my seven points on the first day. Lack of rates doesn't mean your story sucks, it just means that your readers probably already used those points for something else, or they're saving the points. This system sucks.
As for reviews, I personally love writing reviews. Admittedly, I don't read here that much anymore so the reviews from me are kind of rare, but it's still my favorite thing to do on this site. Giving feedback, some constructive criticism perhaps, that's awesome. And I know that the one review can really make an author's day. But, alas, I am a selfish, childish prick. If I review something and take the time to really try to be helpful, and the author consistently doesn't reply to my reviews even though all the other reviews get replies... That gets under my skin, and I won't review that person's stories anymore. I know, I'm a horrible human being and I should just pull a Wendy and grow up... But I'm not going to.
Sorry for ranting again.
