Subject: [BellaAndEdward] *READ* ANOTHER LM NOTE Re: Guilty Pleasures (rated
M sex situations) Bella/Edward
Ok seriously guys if u can't leave nice or at least constructive
reviews (reviews that are helpful to the writers...helping them make
their work even better) DON'T REVIEW AT ALL!!!! Fan fiction is
supposed to be different from the books .... otherwise we would
basically be copying and pasting the books ...there are all different
kinds of fanfic... AU (Alternate Universe), AH (All Human), Canon
(stays with general theme and rules of the story), and much more. They
are for all differents kinds of tastes....different people like
different things so if its not your thing don't read it or if stop
while reading, but please don't punish the author because your taste
differs from theirs. It takes so much courage to write fanfics and we
need to be thankful they are willing to share their work with us!!!!
So I will say this again..... IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY
PLEASE DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!!!
<3 your list mommy >
ITA list mommy. : ) I mean, I had one person leave me a review for a VM
story on the website I had posted it. It was mean and nasty and I just
couldn't figure out why they were doing this. It wasn't even like this guy
could be better then the guy you chose. No---it made no sense at all---and
backfired on the person---I didn't remark on it---thought, okay, what's a
person who doesn't ship this pairing doing reading it at all---and do they
actually think I'll stop writing because they're idiots.
I have read some stuff that have literally made me pissed off. Do I review
it---no. What's the point of destroying somebody's dream. It might not be
yours but it's theirs. Oh, the best compliment I ever got that was
back-doored---your characters are out of character for the show. Good,
because the show was crap at that point and I wouldn't want to write them
that way. : )
Basically, I've run into people who didn't like the pair I was writing for
and read it. Why bother---I don't like Bella/Jake stories---why would I read
them if I didn't like them. It's like they're trying to get me to write the
pairing they like and if I don't believe in it, why would I.
Different people like different things and that's why there is a variety of
fanfics out there. : ) Basically stick to what you like and if somebody
makes a mistake and you don't like it---let it go and move on. Unless, as
you say there is something valuable you could give to them (like nicely
saying, get thee a beta) as advice---let it go and move on. It's best in the
long run. : ) Prolific Peggy.
