That wasn't my point at all either. I obviously commented because I feel her reviews are fine. A lot of stories she's reviewed, I read, and they do deserve 1's. Please stop feeling like you're entitled to something all because you're trying to force a reviewer to write 'nicer' reviews. Please stop trying to talk to me like i'm some twelve year old in need of some sort of lesson. I don't need your input, I was simply stating the obvious.

I hope that if the author is reading this, that you continue to do your reviews. I learned a lot from mine, and I don't feel like gassing up readers is necessary. I'm sure if they wanted a better review they could've asked it from someone else who gave better 'review ratings on it' (if that's what they wanted)

@Hopeless Directioner
Sweetheart don't listen to what she said!!! Your story was amazing, yes the beginning was a little off but you have progressed so much and I am now in love with the story!! Don't give up love!!

I'm honestly curious if you read up to where the story is now. My story line has changed completely, and I am very very sure that no is is writing, nor have they written, anything like what I'm writing now.

@dontjockmystyles
We sorta already did this and found a solution, but thanks for the opinion I didn't really need. She didn't feel hurt for me being honest because that's exactly what she does in these reviews. I want asking her to give everyone a ten, I was asking her to say stuff nicer so not to push thing over the edge. So thanks for the input but it's already sorta over.

@Chance_sky
I'm sorry i'm budding in so late, but in all honesty. She isn't here to spare reader's feelings. The reader's asked for a review, and she stated she would be completely honest. If they still wanted the review, they should do so. I find it extremely rude that your antagonizing her for something that the mass loads of commenters want. I do not in any way think she should refrain from giving harsh reviews. She gives readers the truth, and not some candy covered shit review. I understand your point of view, and your pity for some of the writers, but I think it's rude. Feedback is always necessary, and if i were to tell you. Oh (10 your writing is amazing) meanwhile it's shit. That would only heighten a writer to think they're actually good, meanwhile they may need that harsh review. In the end if they aren't criticized for their work, they'll end up getting their ass handed to them. THEN they'll wonder why no one told them what they did wrong.

@ThatRandomUnicorn
No problem! Your reviews helped me so much and I just don't want them to change so that they can continue to help other writers such as myself :)

@ThatRandomUnicorn
Thank you, I would really appreciate it and so would people who don't get the best review. I appreciate honesty, and you seem to have that like me.

@Kay_Baby
Thank you for understanding why am honest and harsh with my reviews. This in no way discourages me, because I don't take other people's opinions to heart, but I'm glad that at least one person can see why I don't go soft. <3

@Chance_sky
I also appreciate your honesty with me, and because of that, I will attempt to come up with something better than "it's just my opinion" at the end if it makes you feel any better. I am sorry that you and your friends are going through some "tough shit". If I ever-so-deeply hurt their feelings, I am truly sorry, I was just giving my honest thoughts and my thoughts apparently happen to be "bitchy". I am not trying to push anyone to do anything, and I don't usually apologize because I don't honestly believe in apologies, but I am sorry if I did anything to hurt, offend, push, or piss you or your friends off. In my defense, this is just my style of a writing. Asking me to change the way I review because I am too "bitchy" is like asking Edgar Allen Poe to be more like Dr. Seuss. They have two completely different styles of writing, and neither can change because that is just the way they write. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it, or put up with it.

Could you please read my story Pour Toujours? It only has 2 chapters, sorry.

@Chance_sky
I understand where you're coming from... I just feel like she has enough indicators. She warns people before hand. If she gets too soft and flimsy with the way she says things, no one will take her seriously and then she's just another no good reviewer. But kudos to you for standing up for what you believe. :)

@Kay_Baby
Like I said before I'm going to say my opinion, and if she's allowed to say what she wants about people stories, then I should be allowed to, too right?

@ThatRandomUnicorn
I can appreciate that you want to be honest but would it kill you to phrase it differently or say at the end it's only your opinion? Probably not. Maybe it was too broad to say everyone, how about just about everyone? They aren't even reviews for me and it made me feel petty. I'm defending a few friends who have been going through some tough shit that I am going through too, and I know the way you phrased it might have just pushed them over the edge. And you and I both know almost nobody's going to tell you, you hurt their feelings after you say things the way you say them. Just, next time before you publish your next chapter try and consider what your review might push him or her to do.

@ThatRandomUnicorn
I love that last line! But honestly, I find it helpful how harsh you are because I know if you rate a story well, it really is a good read.

@Chance_sky

She's reviewed about... three of my stories. The first two were very bad in my opinion and my final story, I got a 9. I feel like there's too many wishy washy reviewers. In the beginning, she states how harsh she is and you can even read some of her reviews and see what she does. She even posted that her most given rating was a 1! Honestly, people set themselves up for the kind of reviews they receive and if your story isn't ready for a review, don't submit it to a harsh reviewer. I feel it's necessary to rate a story based on grammar and story lines because that's how they will be viewed in real life. This reviewer is one of the greatest by far so please don't try and discourage her from reviewing. No one has complained yet, so why should you? Plus, any person who loves writing won't stop writing because of one bad review. I believe she's being blunt and honest and not bitchy because she says, "I honestly don't like this story. Maybe its for someone else but not for me," instead of, "your story is absolute shit. I don't know how anyone reads it." Blunt and brutally honest is saying things the way you think them... the same way you called her reviews bitchy. But being bitchy is just being plain rude.

@Chance_sky
If I hurt people's feelings, they can tell me. Saying that I make "everyone feel beneath me" is an overgeneralization. Not everyone feels this way, but most people may. I do not intend for it to be this way. I rate and review differently, based off of mainly grammar and story line because that is just what I feel is most important for stories. I accept the fact that you feel the need to comment, and I do not mind at all that you needed to say what you think, but I do not review and rate stories as if I am "top bitch". I review stories as a general reader but with opinions of my own that are just seemingly more negative than most.

@ThatRandomUnicorn
I comment because you really hurt peoples feelings. Just because you write at the end not to doesn't mean it doesn't. And all these people say thank you when you honestly probably hurt their feelings. When you wrote you don't say at the end ' this is just my opinion' and 'don't stop writing, just work on these things.' You have a bitchy attitude and make everyone feel beneath you. On top of that you rate people 1 for some grammatical mistakes, and screw with their story lines. So I felt the need to comment because no one else is going to say what I think but me, and I think you rate it/ review it like you're top bitch.

@Chance_sky
I am not purposefully trying to trash people's stories, and I am definitely not trying to be a bitch about it. I understand that I come off as a really bitchy person. No, I do not think that my stories are "perfect", nor do I think that I don't make grammatical errors because I know that I also make mistakes. In fact my first attempts of writing a story and writing a whole damn trilogy were shit, so there is no need for you to point out something I already know.

I do not think I am perfect. I write reviews to tell people what I honestly think of their story, and I have no intentions to come off as a bitch. Sometimes that is just who I naturally am. I try to let authors know that they should not stop writing due to what I say, because I am only one person and everybody has different opinions.

If you think I am making a "bitch move" and "bitchy reviews", then why comment? You can leave me and my not-so-great, "bitchy reviews" alone.

Just because people ask for a review doesn't mean you need to trash peoples stories. Go read through your stories like I did and find your grammatically incorrect errors. They may have asked a for a review, but that doesn't mean you have to be a bitch about it. There's a difference between being brutally honest and just being a plain bitch, and your on the plain bitch end. I'm really not big on drama or cussing, but reading this pissed me off to extreme levels. Before you rag on someone else or their stories for not being perfect, why don't you make sure you and your stories are god damned perfect. Oh, and no you didn't rate any of my stories, I just think this is totally a bitch move and bitchy reviews, get over yourself honey, we all know your not damned perfect.

Aha, thanks for that review~^^

I use like, the first-ever wordpad ever created, so it doesn't correct anything for me xD
I thought I was going to get a worse review, considering that I didn't even go back and edit anything xD

Hi love! Could I get a review whenever the times free and waiting list is short on Lips & Regrets :) xx
