Other Fan Fiction ❯ Fanfictioner's Guide to Good Reviewa ❯ Prolouge ( Prologue )

After I had seen a down right bitchy review I thought up this story, it's an idea I have been fighting with for a while and this pushed me over the edge. If you have any reviews that you feel are down right rude, insulting or in anyway ridiculous please send them to me and I'll put them in my list. Same goes for really good reviews with constructive criticism, in fact anything you have feel free to send it to me. Preferably with the reviewers name and the story they've reviewed.

Here's a list of bad reviews

1- Dissing a author and/or their choice of beta is not acceptable

[to: Ms. Topaz]

Excuse me but does that even make a bit a sense to you you idiot. unless you plan on righting more and it makes sense do this over. Edward wouldnt go to the volturi to die. he said that if Bella died then would go to the Volturi, but she is ALIVE YOU IDIOT YOU WROTE IT. Dont you think that if Bella found out that Edward was going to kill himself or dead then that would make her condition worse and it would make it even more ridiculous if that happened bc/ Bella knows(in her heart)that he will return and bc/ she loves her and he her. Edward may make stupid decisions he's not special. Plus if you make him go to Italy and for Bella to go save him then that would be retarded you nut. Please have something else in mind and DO YOU HAVE A BETA, IF NOT GET ONE QUICK AND IF YOU DO THEN GET A NEW ONE. dont write this like you are now unless you have something else in mind

2- Constructive criticism is good.... very good

  okay, so, no offense or anything but your story is very confusing. It jumps around...a lot. and thus making it difficult to understand which discourages readers from going beyond the parts they can understand. Like in one of the Beginning chapters you have a referene to a Manga, not very many people know what Millenium Snow is therefore they wouldn't get the reference. you also have some grammer and spelling mistakes but its pretty good compared to other stories that I've read which have so many mistakes it makes me wonder if that person has spelling problems. well, i think i've rambled on enough and give you this piece of advice: "Just because you an understand what you write and you, yourself don't see any mistakes doesn't mean that there isn't any. Because in your mind you know what it's supposed to look like and therefore you miss common spelling or grammer mistakes or you don't notice that what you've written doesn't make sense." trust me. I've had enough people drive that through my inch-thick skull for me to know that anybodys mind can be a very devious thing. I have been slammed by my english teachers and my mother enough times that i've learned my lesson. But, if it's any comfort i still do that which i shouldn't be doing. I'm sure you'll see it many times in this reviewf by any chance you're still reading this, i would like to wish your luck with all your future writings.
