I'm a fanfic writer who's tired of seeing flame wars go out of control and frustrated by authors who could really be good if they put a little more effort into it. This account was created to give good, constructive criticism without having stories of mine spammed as a result with nasty insults. If you think a review of mine is a flame, please re-read it before getting up in arms. I go out of my way NOT to flame. If I didn't find something redeeming about your story to begin with, I would not be reviewing it. To those who say "If you don't like it, don't read it" - how would I KNOW I didn't like it if I didn't read it? Of course, there's no way I'd know if I liked it without reading it. See my handle? Seriously, I make a point of reading as much of a story as I can before passing judgment, strictly because I want to be sure I'm not missing something crucial when I do. I mean, really, if you have some twist or foreshadowing that explains the out-of-character behavior of someone, I definitely need to catch that before I can say anything. My handle is an in-joke to my years of tech support fielding callers who didn't understand why I couldn't astrally project myself through the phone or read their mind to see exactly what their computer was doing. :) If you want to contact me regarding a review or whatnot, feel free to use my e-mail. It's posted up there for that very reason. |
