OKay boys and girls! Sit the heck down, today we aren't having a chapter update. Today we're having a public service announcement on reviewing etiquette!

So! You're reading a fanfiction, and you really like it and think to yourself: Hey! I'd like to leave a nice comment for the author to tell them how much I enjoyed their writing!

Great! Writers love getting nice reviews, personally it always makes my day when I get a notification in my inbox saying that I have a review. However, I think we need to have a talk about things that are acceptable, and unacceptable.

Things that are not only acceptable, but greatly appreciated:

Constructive criticism

Any kind of praise

Honest opinions of the story

Questions

Things that are not acceptable:

RPING IN THE REVIEWS

Telling the author they should rewrite it or add to it when they've finished it with X ending that is completely opposite the story.

SERIOUSLY. Don't do this. Either of these things. It's incredibly rude, and insulting. I've gotten the second one more times than not, and it always makes me reluctant to post my writing online.

Oh, and to the "Ontario" who decided to do the first of those things in the reviews of my PruCan fic (which FYI I don't even ship)), let me tell you a few things from a pissed off writer.

First off: As a Canadian- would not call Gilbert "Gil-san". Secondly, considering it's a humanverse story and Matt and Gilbert's first time meeting, no, he doesn't "do stuff like this all the time" and there'd be no reason for Ontario, Quebec, or New Brunswick to be commenting at all. IF you the mun would like to review, GREAT! ALSO. Canadian French is NOT the same as France French, and there's actually TWO different veins of Canadian French (Quebec French and Acadian French) as someone who IS French Canadian. So there would be no cause to "go get French lessons from France."

Please learn some goddamn manners.

If this shit continues, I'm not going to post or update stories online anymore, instead only sharing them with people I know.
