From everything I've been able to find, EnglishMuffin2 left the HP fandom and is now writing in Glee fandom under a different nom de plume.

Other thread on this

From what I've found, the author intends to turn it into a non-HP novel for publication. I wish her the best of luck with that endeavor

Both Lovely Lady L and Stealafallenstar have the same e-mail associated, so I'll add you to DG's merge queue, but if you're going to need to have the e-mail changed, you'll need to send an e-mail to technicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org Thanks!

You get to play in our arcade too

EMatthews was the author - she's got a note on the profile that the story is on hiatus.

Okay, about 15 minutes of digging, and I found her profile here: Confessions

Nah - we're on it. It just takes us a bit to get to all 8+ GB of the database. Can't say as I blame you there.

There was actually a review I left over on FFN once: "Please leave your beta's (parenthetical) comments out of your posting. Thank you." You're right - it's somewhat akin to those TV chase scenes on horses - "Branch!" and the rider wonders "what the hell?!" and WHAM! he's off his horse and in the dirt.

Your review was fine. I've left "worse" on stories. It wasn't a flame, and if they do attack you, report it. DG doesn't take kindly to childish behavior on an adult site, and she won't put up with it. That's good advice. I'll admit that sometimes, a 'compliment sandwich' is hard to do with some stories. Some people use a rule of two things good, two things that can improve. Again, some stories just don't lend themselves to that type of review. If nothing else, a comment to the originality of the plot idea, or to good structure ... If the technical is good, but the delivery is in need of improvement, I try to tell them that. Let them know they've got promise, skill, but their product is just a bit off. Some authors appreciate knowing that, as when they're just starting out as writers, they want the advice on how to sculpt this craft. They've found a new tool in their kit, and they know the mechanics of how it works, but not quite how to use all the extra features that are advertised.

Being honest, attackegg, if those badly-spelled stories are on this archive from 2003-2005, then they may have garbled words because of wordord. That's part of what I (and all those on cleanup crew) do - find the wordord and post it up for DG to fix it. If it's just laziness, well, I can't help but remember the one review I saw on a story a few months back: That was the whole review. Made me chuckle. As to originals, well... I'm going to leave that alone.

Please read this and this.

This is where I often see on cleanup the review that says "You might be best served to obtain a beta. As is, this piece is somewhat difficult to read." And, honestly, that review is enough. You don't have to go through the whole thing if it made you cringe that much. You've told the author (though very bluntly) that they have a good deal of work to do. They can choose to listen to you or not. But I bet you, nowadays, that review would quickly be deleted. One of the minors we recently deleted actually said this: "Normal people just click I agree. They don't actually read it, ya know." (Not going to tell you how much that made my blood boil. I'm just not.) It's the concept of accountability - no one wants to be responsible, and if I didn't read it, then you can't hold me liable. Absolutely incorrect, and completely flawed in premise. But that's the thought process. This is why it's actually printed in the driving manuals when you have to take the test: "Ignorance of the laws of the area you are travelling in does not make you any less liable for violations. Be sure you know the laws when travelling between counties, and out of state." Hear, hear! I've said it before, I'll say it again: heaven help you if you walk into one of the larger fandoms and read a story by an author with a large fanbase and don't like something that author did. It's like someone posting an Anne Rice fanfiction - you get hounded to the point that you're ready to call your ISP and tell them to disconnect your service. So who gets to start it off then? Chicken-egg syndrome. (And here comes the debilitatingly blunt side of me) If you want better reviews, you have to leave better reviews. Because if all someone is getting is "good job!" or "you need a beta" and no other feedback, that's all they're going to leave for someone else. And when someone is new to the community, and that's all they see, that's all they're going to leave.

Seriously, though, I have gotten bored in stories, and I do tell the author that. Because if it's not entertaining, then I'm not going to keep reading. I don't say "This is boring!" That would be ASKING to get hammered. What I do say, generally, is where and why I lost interest. I think that's helpful to an author - especially if they are actually trying to hone their craft. Now, before I leave the story, I ask myself if it's because I'm thinking about something else and it's plaguing me that my mind isn't focused on the story at hand? And when that's the case, I leave it for a while, then come back. If it holds my attention the second time, then obviously, that's not something on the author - that's on me and life in general. And, no, SK, you're not alone. I stopped reviewing for the longest time having to do with a girl in the Netherlands over on FFN. I say girl, because she couldn't have been more than nineteen. At any rate, I didn't appreciate being hammered in my PM box every time I logged on to FFN by her - and eventually some of her friends - over leaving her a concrit review. I had to block them all (which thankfully there is such a feature to keep them from harassing me in PMs). But I didn't resort to that right away. I started out by trying to explain to her that I was trying to help her hone her skills, especially given that English wasn't her first language and she was choosing to write in it. Regardless, there was either some break down in communication, or there was a refusal to understand said communication. Eventually the new friends (or sock puppet accounts, what have you) stopped PM'ing me. And while I kept reading other authors, I didn't dare review anything else - my god, if that's what happens on one concrit review that was NICE, heaven help me if I left something slightly more abrasive. I'm a blunt person and tend to be a bit sharp unintentionally. When the RA started up, I figured this site is for adults (first of all) and the archive doesn't have a PM feature, so I'm not going to get slammed like that. Everyone that keeps harping about a PM feature doesn't realize, that's one of the things I actually like about this site - I don't have to worry constantly about blocking someone - and all of their friends - because I left them a review they didn't like. If it's added, it's added, and there might be a serious decline in the number of meaty reviews I leave. Like Slayitalldown, I'm not fond of leaving "Good job!" and that's it on a review. I feel like I cheated that author. I do my damnedest to actually tell the author what was good about it. What did I like? What was done well? What was about this story that kept my interest all the way through? After all, I got all the way to the review button, so something must have intrigued me. But to be completely honest, when you see even those reviews -the ones where you told them what was good about their story - disappear from a review board.... well, that's when you're ready to throw in the towel. Still, I try to leave a review if I read it. (Not if I clicked on it to check for site-related stuff - sorry, but your hit count will go up without a review for that.) Even if I know (or strongly suspect) that the review won't be there in five hours. But like Dany and rowdy both said: if you only want praise, say that in an AN at the top, so I can click the back button and find something else to read.

I'll also add to Dany's statements (and Apollo's welcome to smack me if I step over the line, but she knows that ) There are those who come into the Shoutbox here on the forum and practically beg for reviews. They constantly complain about how they get none. Now, sometimes, they really don't. Sometimes they have one review for every 200 or so hits on their story. One of the ones that really didn't have any reviews, I reviewed two of hers. Her response was to delete one of the stories completely, and delete my review on the other. Tell me, as a reader, how I'm supposed to react to the fact that when you beg for reviews, and I leave you one that isn't, as Dany said, an "I luff it" review - and your response is to delete it?

Okay - go to your author panel: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/ucp.php Scroll down to Games. Click Add. Under "Choose Category" you see: I put a box around it. After you choose that, there will be a new subset under "SubCategory". You'll need to choose one of the options that will be made available to you.
