This is very true. I get very irritated when I get hundreds of hits and no reviews.
I know! It makes me pout. It's like "Okay well, people reading it...but do they like it? Do they hate it? Are they indifferent? I don't get it!!!!"

I'm one of those writers who has to have an ending to work towards or I'll go on forever or worse get bored and never finish.
No I totally know what you mean. That's exactly how I write as well, but right now I'm writing a story based on a film and all I'm really doing is adding a character to the original screen play and shaping it to fit the character's presence. So I'm going to end the story where or around where the film ends but not using the films ending and also not really knowing completely how I want it to end. Happy ending? Sad? Ironic? It's an amazing unexpected journey.

When you're writing your story(ies) do you ever wonder yourself how it will end? Or do you already know how you want it to end in your head and giggle as you slowly reveal it?
Usually I already know how I'll end a story, but this time...with the one I'm currently writing...I'm wondering how it'll end myself because while I had an ending in mind to begin with, I don't know if I want it to end the way I originally planned. It's kind of fun! hehe...how about you guys?

Chapter Eight is up!!! Read and review!!

It really is sad that people waste energy on flaming other peoples work...what a shame.

Personally, I'm here mostly to improve my writing. Though a part of me enjoys knowing that other people are reading my stories and I honestly cant wait to receive reviews (good and bad) because it can only help me grow as a writer.

Just posted Chapter Seven
Reviews would be adored!! -
I'll admit, sometimes I have started to read a story solely for the sex scenes but as I read, found it intriguing and end up reading the entire thing, which makes the sex scene all the more gratifying as was previously mentioned.
I personally depend the build up on the characters I'm writing. Is the character meek and/or shy...a virgin even? Or is the character sexually confident by nature? The answer to this is usually what determines how much of a build up you have, I have found.
-
But mostly, when someone has committed at least a couple tens of thousands of words of a story.... then stops, vanishes, leaving unresolved plot and tension... with no explanation. (The people who vanish for years, never to be seen again. Week/month vanishing isn't so bad, because things can come up in life.)
Gr. I get so annoyed with that as well, especially if the story is good and you want it to continue.
Another thing that annoys me is when the story was clearly written by someone who does not speak English as first language. Don't get me wrong, I applaud those who make an effort to write in a foreign language but they should also make an effort to make sure the grammar and connotation is correct. If anything, they could have an English speaker proof read it for them.

Firstly, I'll explain a "flame". Let's say I'm a juvenile arsehole with an attitude and too much time on my hands. I read your story (or pretend to) and the leave a review that says something like: "you'er storey SUX! my gmother could rite better than that and shes ded!" Note the poor spelling, as most of these morons border on illiterate. That's a flame, where they simply rip into you or your story with little reason other than to annoy and/or offend, usually trying to bait you into retaliating so they can start a massive argument (a flame war). There's no constructive criticim, simply abuse. We don't tolerate that. On the other hand, some people take any kind of criticism as a flame, no matter how nice and constructive they are about it. That's not a flame, simply constructive criticism.
Now, where to report it. If you go to the archive, down the very bottom of each page is a link that says this: "Report Abuse or TOS-breakers on the Site." (TOS stands Terms Of Service, in case you weren't sure). That link lets you send an email, where you state the problem and provide links to your profile and where the problem is, such as the page where the abusive review is. The mods will then take care of it for you.
I see...got it. Thank you! hehe
Excellent! Again, thank you

Chapter six is up!!

One of my favorites for the male penis is pikestaff...lol...love it

<br /><br /><br /><br />Speaking of abusive reviews, one thing everyone should keep in mind is if someone leaves you flame "reviews" for one of your stories on our archive then please report it, because they're not tolerated here and will be dealt with. Make sure you don't delete the flame first, though; leave it there for the mod's to see and archive. <img src="style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br />where do we send the report? I didn't see a button for reporting a deconstructive review.
What exactly is "flaming" anyway? lol
-
If you'd like your story reviewed, could you post a link? I don't know if it's my browser or what but I can't get to it.
That would be amazing, thank you!!! Here's the link, if anything you can just copy/paste it...and I promise no blitz attacks. lol. You can be totally honest. If it sucks, it sucks. lol.

I used to review... But then a pissy fangirl decided she didn't like what I wrote and decided I was flaming the author. Not only did she attack me on the review board for that story, but she went to one of MY stories to copy and paste her attack to make sure I saw it. That pissed me off to the point of never wanting to review again. I've had people attack my stories, jump down my throat because it wasn't cannon and so on and so forth. It stung a little, but if it was just trash I deleted it and went on with my day. This bitch left a message on my review board that had nothing to do with my story, she just had to attack me.
But enough ranting... It seems like all people want is to hear that their story is the best thing since sliced bread, and if you have anything negative to say then you're flaming. It seems that if you are an author and you give an honest opinion on another's story you risk opening yourself up to trolling and flaming if someone doesn't like what you say. It's sad really.
I agree, after all the saying goes "You can't please everybody"

I think it's a very thin line between finding it hot to read about in something you know is fiction and finding it hot by actually doing it. There is a darker side of human nature that is fun to explore creatively. One of my favorite authors in the world is the late Marqui DeSade. He wrote erotica only pertaining to the dark side of human nature. I don't think it makes you a freak or sick to read that kind of fiction.

Personally, I don't see the point in reviewing a completed story. I encourage my readers to review during the writing process because, what good is a suggestion when you're done writing? If I get any suggestions while I'm writing, and I realize the person is right or it's a good idea, I can put it in the story. After the fact is just pointless, unless you plan to edit the story, but only truly dedicated fans will reread a story to look for those edits. The only type of reviews that are ok for completed stories are just 'pat on the back' ones, but actualy concrit reviews are pretty pointless.
My point EXACTLY. Reviews aren't meant as an ego stroke. It's meant as a growth tool. Whether good or bad, every author likes feedback. I, personally, appreciate the critique more so than the praise. After all, how else can I grow?
Reviewing completed stories, I usually save, for authors whose work I continue to enjoy. Or One Shot stories of course.
Could I ask a favor? Would you three pwetty pwease give my story a read and drop a quick review? It doesn't have to be after every chapter and it doesn't have to be long. And you can be totally honest, I don't need sugar coating. (but thanks if you thought of using some)
I'd just like to know before I continue writing it. -
I'm just wondering because no one has reviewed my story. Not that I'm upset about that, I was just curious as to whether or not you guys wait to review a story until its completion. I usually go by the authors request (if they make one) other wise, I review when the story is complete.
-
Usually if I'm writing about something that I've never experienced first hand, I go through it mentally first hand. If it's something I would need to have experience doing to know how to write it, then I either read other fics on the subject, talk to someone who's experienced it or research as everyone else has said. It really all depends on how you personally absorb information and how that fits with your writing style...
