RedWineRaven'sVine: ReaReaUmbi's Review Shop
Description
'Ello there loves! ReaReaUmbi here to open up her own little review shop, why you ask? Well simply because I have been the victim of those numerous bogus reviews. Yes the shop looks decent and fairly well however once you get the review, it . Completely and utterly .
I understand that reviewers take time away from their life to read whatever crap stories they're handed with but honestly! Reviews are suppose to help you, they're not suppose to go om taste and/or bias standards, they're not suppose to bash, and in no way is adding in 'Oh everything is perfect! There's nothing wrong!' will help either.
Everybody likes to be praised, but what good will it do to say something is amazing when it completely ? It doesn't help the writer and it angers others. My grammar itself is not perfect nor as amazing as MusicChibi's but ever since she took me under her wing I have improved not only a better understanding of grammar and the English language but overall as a writer; which is what everybody here on Asian FanFics is, a writer. Every published book goes through many editing process, so why should fanfics be any different?
I do not except excuses. Using the tag line of English not being your first language is not an excuse. English is not my first language, it's not Chibi's nor is it Mashimarofans. You have the internet, the dictionary, beta readers, so many resources out there to use that it's not a valid excuse.
I'm going out of my comfort, nit-picking zone just to help out the the Asian Fanfic community just a tad bit more. No matter how many times I'll end up drunk or how much blood I'll lose from gauging out my eyes.
Having that all said, if you are self-conscious of your writing than I advise you to view, subscribe, and comment these links down here.
