Reviewing Stories - Just do it! (swish)

[Nikita]

One of the most common complaints of authors is that their stories are reviewed with the frequency of...well, with no frequency. Hell, I've seen stories that were up for a year and had as many as sixty thousand views and no reviews. That ain't right!

Since this forum is where authors go to get instruction - critiquing by us instructors (a form of story review) - I thought it only fair that one of us instructors come down and tell all you potential students to get to reviewing stories in the Library.

I will point out that, in the Wroters Block, you get in depth analysis by several instructors. In fact, you get more from one instructor than you generally get in any story review in the main story library. Pay us back by getting out there and reviewing stories. Remember, you will want your own reviews - the more reviewers we have, the more likely you will get to hear from your audience.

Get to it!

I'm with you Dean. Writers, early on I read as much of the stories as I could that were perverted. I like those. Some were inspiring and some were not.

However, I learned something from the good, the bad, and the mediocre.

Take advantage of the opportunity to learn HOW to give feedback in as few words as possible.

New writers, if you get a bad review that's light years away from the other feedback, take the time to look at the reviewer's past reviews before you consider it a blow or something constructive.
