AUTHOR NOTE ABOUT REVIEWS
I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO BAN REVIEWS IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PUS BAGS WHO THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH BULLYING PEOPLE LIKE ME. I'VE BEEN A VICTIM OF BULLYING AND RIDICULE FOR THE 37 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ON THIS PATHETIC PLANET AND IT STOPS NOW
I have decided albeit reluctantly to TRIAL allowing reviews on ONE OF my stories
THE ONLY STORY I AM ALLOWING REVIEWS ON IS: READING IN NEW YORK THE BEGINNING
HOWEVER, if you're going to review my work you will do so MY WAY!
This is what I will and will NOT accept
I appreciate reviews IF they are:-
From someone who has had the courage to sign in before posting their review - I do not tolerate or appreciate reviews from guests
Written in SIMPLE ENGLISH. you're dealing with someone who might as well be an overgrown child
Constructive
Polite
Informative
Sincere
Concise
Clear
Well thought through.
Direct
Thorough
Explained PRECISELY with ALL jargon clarified
Example
"Your spelling is great but you need to work on using a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and ending a sentence with a full stop. Using verbs correctly, etc"
You will then explain further
"Verbs are, and therefore you need to… You do this by…"
Translation: You will be polite and oversimplify without being PATRONISING.
I will not tolerate reviews that are :-
From guests - If you do this I will remove your review immediately.
Patronising
non-explanatory
ableist
insulting
DO THIS AND YOU WILL MEET MY BLOCK BUTTON FACE TO FACE! I WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE YOU IN ANY OTHER WAY.
DO NOT TRY TO PM ME BECAUSE I HAVE THAT FEATURE BLOCKED AND IT IS BLOCKED FOR A DAMN GOOD REASON
BEFORE YOU REVIEW YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT
I am BRITISH. We spell some words differently
I am UNEDUCATED and therefore do not have a clue what I am doing. That means you need to dumb it down, pointdexter!
I am female, you will respect me as such.
YOU DO NOT GET TO TAKE THE PISS OUT OF ME FOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO WRITE MY OWN (AND ONLY) DAMN LANGUAGE THE WAY YOU PERCEIVE TO BE "PROPERLY." You can blame the AMAZING DISGRACES that I had for teachers in school… they dumbed down my year's "education" to accommodate me, they didn't keep me back until I figured it out. That's not my fault… disability was taboo in the UK until 1995, although discrimination against disabled people is ILLEGAL it still happens. What I have is ridiculously rare… so ridiculously rare that FORTY EIGHT people on the planet have it. . I do the best I can with what I have, if that's not good enough for you, tough noogies, go bug some other author.
They had to give me an education, because the Education act (1980) said so, no one said anything about it being a QUALITY education. I was prevented at every turn from reaching my potential. Had I been encouraged properly I could be something, instead I'm uneducated and unemployable. That's why I urge parents of special needs children to homeschool if they can. (That wasn't an option for me)
YOU WILL OBEY OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES END OF DISCUSSION, NO IF'S, ANDS, BUTS OR MAYBES.
and before some smart mouthed ableist troglodyte dares to ask what said consequences are, I will lay them out…
1 I will REMOVE all my work from this site and you won't get to read it - I will not tell you where I am posting it. I will not post ANYTHING here ever again.
2 If you're a guest I will remove your review
3 If you sign in and act mean I will block you and report you.
4 ABOUT THE POV SWITCH THING I WASN'T TAUGHT HOW TO SWITCH POV WITHOUT DOING THAT SO DON'T KVETCH ABOUT IT PLEASE.
YOU HAVE BEEN WELL WARNED
