I think it's clear that i'm obsessed with AFF. i don't think i can even survive a day without it. XD

There's a strange sort of happiness/satisfaction when people comment on your story giving you love and support. It constantly makes my day. :)

There's also another joy when you see your hard work and effort poured into writing and expressing your feelings through type being enjoyed. Being read. Being understood. Being empathized.

Then there's the society here. The people are all nice, real and just so friendly! :)

as in. - alex, ree, jenny, jena. My unnies here! :) (and one dongsaeng :P)

There are a lot of negatives about AFF though. aka. procrastination of homework. I've gotten so behind in my homework cause of this site. XD No complaints though, i love this place.

Then there's being a reviewer. Most of the time i like reviewing stories, really i do. It gives me satisfaction when they read my review, agree with my comments and improve. It makes me feel accomplished :)

It also makes me insanely happy when i see that they've linked our review shop on their foreword. Maybe i'm weird that way but it makes me feel like all my hard work didn't go to waste. ANd when i say hard work, i mean hard work! I spend, i think, an unhealthy amount of time on each review. Each review is about five pages MINIMUM. crazy right? but totally worth it :)

BUT. being a reviewer has quite a few negatives.

One: When they delete the story after you've reviewed it. One, it makes us feel we've done all that for nothing. Now, migumeki and my review shop doesn't balcklist people. It's just unpleasant and really puts a black side on your shop. Although, after going through the stories that i've reviewed, i'm so tempted to blacklist a few people.

Deleted stories of .Diamondworld Reviews. 

1. GAME OVER by Giraffrey

2. You're not my first love, but my last one by JessyJane

3. Experiment by Eyagibba

4. A broken Promise of Forever by Shaza_BigBang (here, she actually apologized, so i'm okay with this one. i'm a fair person.)

5. His Way to Stardom - iamnotamazed

Two: People who don't credit us. Well, after all the work we've done for you, don't we deserve at least a little mention. It's like not putting a production crew lsit at the end of the movie. I mean, i always watch credits at the end of a movie, after all they do for us, the only recognition they get is that name there PLUS money. Since we review or free LOL, i do expect some credit. (this is also part of the rules of EVERY review shop)

People who haven't credited us.

1. You Again?! - AhnCheonsa

2. A Dance For A Kiss - VietBubbeeSaranghae and HeartsM

Three: reading horrible stories. Now, i'm not saying that the stories i reviewed are all horrible, most aren't. It's just when english isn't teir first language. I understand how difficult it would be to write like that and i'm lenient with marks if english IS their first language. But even though, it's a huge pain reading these stories. It really makes me want to tear my heart out. To be honest, migumeki and i started this shop to be able to extend our reading material as well as improve our english by being able to pick out things in stories that could be improved. Unfortunately, this plan backfired quite horribly. I really feel as i've degraded my brain by constantly reading these horrible stories.

I admit, i'm a petty person. If i wasn't i wouldn't have bothered going through our entire archives to check if they had credited us or not. But i admit i'm not petty enough to actually ask them to. It was their choice not to and really i shouldn't spend my time chasing up people for breaking the rules. (actually i might just be a coward for not asking them) now that i've finished my rant and blown off some steam about these people, i feel as if i SHOULD ask them to credit us. but really, would that make much difference? No.

Okay, on a happier note. Fellow Australians have a GREAT holiday! and study hard!
