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*

Ahh, the joys of being a cynic!

Worst thing is, I started off worse than they did.

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. ^^

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~:
