So, Let's Talk About Reviews...
So, if any of you write fanfiction, original fiction, or post anything of your creative talent on a website where you get reviewed, you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes, you tend to get reviews that are a little...odd.

The standard (my favorite) type of review is this:

Quote:
I like this. The plot you have is very well thought out. However, you may want to spell check again...I caught a few spelling errors. Also, I am wondering how he managed to jump from the FOURTH floor down to the basement without shattering his ankles but...that's where deux ex machina comes in. smile


Now occasionally, you'll get reviews like this; the most common type of review:

Quote:
awe! so sweet! i loved it! you rock!


With the occasional
Quote:
UPDATE SOON
thrown in.

On to the funny ones. Here's one I call the "fangasm".

Quote:
OMG!OMG!
THIS WAS THE BEST!
I LOVE THIS STORY! THIS IS GREAT!
NO MORE THEN GREAT! NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE IT!
I LOVE THIS STORY!
ARE YOU WRITEING ANYMORE! PLZ SAY YOUR WRITING MORE! I LOVE THIS STORY!
WRITE MORE (IF YOU ARE) WRITE MORE!
PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ!


As you can see, the author enjoyed the work so much that they cannot write without inducing capslock. Scary and flattering both within itself.

This is the "um...okay?" review:

Quote:
i really love u


Makes me want to step away from the computer for a second and ponder why someone sent this to me.

The ones that bring an evil smile to my face:

Quote:
OMFG how could you do that? How could you kill him off! GRRR! I HATE YOU! I HOPE YOU DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH AND I AM GOING TO HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU WITH A PENCIL SHARPENER! DO YOU HEAR ME? A ******** PENCIL SHARPENER!!!!


and the not-so-sarcastic ones:

Quote:
go and die already, if you weren't over the internet, i would have killed you sooner for killing him. *sobs*


The "WTF are they smoking variety:

Quote:
Whoo! They kissed, they kissed! Now you make me happy with my llamas, and me and my llamas are going to go down to Me-hi-co and Party in a fiesta, to sing and dance and rejoice in the fact that THEY KISSED! biggrin


And let us not forget those one word wonders:

Quote:
WTF

Quote:
lol

Quote:
...s**t.

Quote:
What?!

Quote:
O_o...

Quote:
YAY!

Quote:
update



That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed! biggrin

Disclaimer: All these reviews (besides the first one) were either taken or paraphrased slightly from real reviews from my fanfiction. But if you search any well known fanfiction author's reviews enough, I'm sure you can find ones seemingly similar.
