Hola muchachos!
First of all, thanks a bunch to wolfgirl121 for telling me what OOC means. Now I feel like an idiot.
Anyway, today's topic is going to be reviews. I'm sorry if you read the first chapter and wanted to review but couldn't because of that stupid "no anonymous review" thing. I always hate that. People are always asking for reviews and stuff, but when you actually do want to review and you either don't have an accout or are to lazy to login like I am, and you have that thing on there, to me it's like, if you... I don't know, are in class or something and you ask for help and then somebody offers and you say, "No. I don't want your help. I don't like you." It's kind of a slap in the face. Lots of people will actually have constructive critisism, which, as we all know, totally kicks ass, but they can't let you know what it is if you don't let them.
If you are like me, though, and don't realize that you actually have to click something to deactivate that moronic review nazi, all you have to do is click login, and on the left, there is a thing that says 'Reviews'. Click on that and level with the word 'Account', it has four words. Click on 'Anonymous' and it will say 'Anonymous Review: Disabled'. Beside that is a button that says 'Enable'. Click on that and you're set!
I know that there are people out there that don't want anonymous reviews because of viruses and stuff, and that's fine, but if you say 'Please R&R' maybe clue us in by saying 'Please R&R, but only if you are logged in. And if you're not, log in. And if you don't have an account, get one. Then login. Then review.'
Alright, you don't have to phrase it quite like that, but, I'm sure you get the gyste of it.
Another thing that's been annoying me quite a bit, is so called 'Saving Fanfiction' if that is your real name. I've heard of a couple of your reviews, and frankly, I'm appalled. Not only are you taking it way too seriously, fanfiction is fiction written by fans. You can't expect them to be completely in caracter. That's what it means by OOC. Out Of Character. (Thanks again wolfgirl121) It's just a fun passtime for a lot of people, so don't get your panties in a twist. You're making it sound like the Cullens would be insulted to be portrayed like that. I hate to break it to you (and all you other overly hopeful Edward/Jacob/Emmett/Jasper/Carlisle/Bella/Rosalie/Alice/Esme/other fans) but these character ARE NOT REAL!! They are the brilliant mind children of the fabulous Stephanie Meyer. May we all only hope to be as great of autors as she is.
Yes, you are entitled to your own opinion, but lighten up. This is for creative purposes only. For FUN. If you actually do read this, which I doubt, take my advice and give the authors some sort of information they can actually use. It's called constructive critisism for a reason.
Now to all you non-reviewers out there. I understand that you don't always want to review. Maybe it's too late at night, maybe you've got to be somewhere, maybe you've got nothing to say, but every once in a while, you'll read a story that you think is amazing and still you'll ignore that lonely little gray button that says 'Review'. All it wants is a little bit of love. Trust me, it only takes a minute to say, "Wow, this story is great. Keep it up." Probably even faster if you type quicker than I do, which is likely. It means a lot to the people who work hard on the stories that they come up with. I'm not saying you have to do it for every one you read, just once in a blue moon. You never know. You might have a knack for being a critic. If you don't review, you might have passed up on a great career opportunity.
And sorry if there was a mix up last time. I know I didn't word it proporly, but the story I'm writing isn't up yet. It's still in the idea phase, and I have exams comming up so I won't have much time to work on it. Not to mention, it takes forever for me to write a page, let alone a whole chapter. I just wanted feedback on the idea. I'll go into more detail next time if you want, but let me know if you do. I don't want to ramble on if nobody cares. Oh wait, that's what I'm doing!
Right, well, I wouldn't expect much of a story from me for a while. It took me half an hour to write just this! And this is just me typing whatever comes to mind. For me, writing a story isn't like that. I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to my stories. The words have to be just right.
This is where I leave you. But before I go, has anyone read Stephanie Meyer's new book? I want to know what it's like before I buy it. And if it's total crap (which I'm sure it won't be) be brutally honest. I don't want to waste my money when I could be saving it for Breaking Dawn.
Love you all.

P.S. Obviously I don't know how to add chapters. Help?
