A Question of Standards

[Alex Bragi]

You know what’s occurred to me, lately? There’s a whole lot of compaining about reviewers who rate a story down because they don’t like the particular topic. Sure, it's very frustrating and unfair, but what about those who faun over second rate authors who dishes up a plate load average of writing that just happens to appeal to the reader/reveiwer? 10/10 ratings accompanied by a comments like “Oh, I wanked off 10 times while I read this!” for much less than "Excellent. Could complete with published authors" are surely just as unfair, aren' t they?

While it's certainly frustrating to see a good story rated poorly because of content alone, I think perhaps, many average but 'edgy' stories, tend to balance out to what they're probably worth in the long run - an average rating.
