The reviews on the JSR section are getting more than a leetle predictable...
1) Author posts fanfic
2)
sashwizzled reviews the fanfic, fairly.
3) Gum1726 reviews the fanfic, effusively, and usually throws in a comment about herself just in case we want to know.
4)
disks_smilie sometimes reviews the fanfic, bluntly but truthfully.
5)
angrychemist reviews the fanfic, sensibly.
6) If the fic is...not that great,
aA bunch of baka newbies/crappy writers (okay, so I'm being catty, but hey...) review the fanfic, sometimes, saying 'wow this is soooo gd u must have gr8 english classes don't worry about tei/disk and koochizibble they are JERKS'
7) Sometimes author posts a new chapter in which case the whole depressing cycle begins again. Otherwise the fic dies a natural death, and we move onto the next one.
Sigh...I miss the good old days...*sweatdrop*

Date: 2004-02-08 11:01 pm (UTC)Seriously, I don't think I've called any story roundabout in any recent time...usually I tell the author of the story to stop writing altogether, and I assumed THAT was my trademark bit of sarcasm...
Ahh, the joys of being a cynic!
Re:
Date: 2004-02-09 04:47 pm (UTC)I may review fairly (and even then, I can't resist being snide), but I tend to bitch to anyone who'll listen afterward, and people get sick of me. At least, I would get sick of me. ^_^
Worst thing is, I started off worse than they did.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-09 05:34 pm (UTC)Intersting.... when I was a complete newbie, I would be like, "Don't listen to them, they're asses. They're just jealous." Now that I'm a semi-experienced newbie and I actually leave helpful reviews (or I try to at least.... ^^; Gotta think, gotta think...) I dunno if I'm predicatable... oh well!

Ummm... for the record, I don't think that now. ^^

Date: 2004-02-13 07:34 pm (UTC)Err, I think his arguments were the usual 'If he exists, why the hell does he let war, famine and such happen?' and I think his mum dying kinda made him a bit bitter.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-10 04:57 pm (UTC)OK, point - I can spell, can't I? And thanks to all the help you and Tei and everyone have given me, I'm pretty damn good at grammar and stuffness as well! :~basks in literary glory~:

Re:
Date: 2004-02-10 01:56 am (UTC)Okay, not necissarily true, but it's not like I'm going to bum-rush you if you point the facts out. They are, after all, unchangably truthful happenings, and what would be the point of denying it if it really happened?
Again, the joys of being a cynic...

Date: 2004-02-10 07:56 pm (UTC)BUT, you do review, you've reviewed segal's fic, and some others I can't remember. I guess I should have put you sometimes review, but...I didn't. Meh, I'm only human.
And would you rather I put 'angrychemist reviews stupidly'?
