Eek!!!

There, I said if I read another review that gave away a vital part of the story, or the twist at the end, I would scream!

Please, if you're reviewing a story, have a little bit of consideration for a) the author who has set out, and worked hard to surprise/ shock his, or her, reader, and b) the reader who has the whole damned thing spoilt because you were clumsy enough to blurt out the ending/twist/or what ever in your review.

Authors want feedback and constructive critisism. Readers will often rely on other's comments when skimming though the lists of stories to find one to read. Both appreciate a thoughtful review.

Thanks for the excellent reminder.

AND a request for those of us who've done it.

Please take another look at your reviews. If you've
committed a "spoiler", you can remove it.

Let's take advantage of that editing feature.
