Alice The Intrigued 2008-08-10 ch 1, anon.	abuseInteresting but the basic fact is that it's mostly teenagers on this site and more teens like sex than they do god. I mean really, sex is a natural part of life (because living things are supposed to have more than one sexual partner, not that marriage isn't great) and in a stage where males and females are becoming more interested in each other it's obivious that sex would overcome god at this point and life, and frankly if you need reviews to keep writing or to feel better about your writing, you shouldn't be writing in the first place. Stories aren't about you or the amount of reviews you get their about creating a world that others will enjoy. So just my own little opinion but I think that lying about what your story is, is neither the correct thing to do to the readers nor the moral thing to do despite your need for the spirtual section to get more reviews. Sorry if this has hurt your feelings or made you mad, I suppose you'll get around it sooner or later. But I thank you for letting my opinon be expressed and I thank you for allowing me to read yours.
Kenny's Friend 2008-03-16 ch 1,	abuseApparently all the folks who read stuff online are pervs... You've definitely got a point, and I'm glad you made it.
lux perpetua 2008-03-11 ch 1,	abusewhat a good point! you've definitely inspired me to read and review more stories in the future... by the way, you have a very nice style - simple, elegant, and clear. You vary your sentence length very nicely, one of the great secrets to good writing. ps. under the influence recommended your writing.
KimHua 2007-12-04 ch 1,	abuseHello, thanks for this. It was good, I thought, that you made what could have been an essay/rant into a semi-story (i.e. with dialogue between you and your friend). The format works well for what you wanted to express. I think some of the problem has to do with the relative numbers of stories, too - the Spiritual category (according to FP) currently has 3175 stories, whereas Romance has 32197 - over ten times as many. By the way, where can I find the story you and your friend wrote? :-)
elisefey 2007-09-18 ch 1,	abuseThank you so much for writing this! I've noticed that same issue. It's so frustrating. I really appreciate the fact that you performed an experiment to back up your observations (I did a similar experiment and received 48 reviews on just three chapters!). It's refreshing to have someone speak out on this! Thanks!
monochromatic 2007-08-12 ch 1, anon.	abuseGreat idea! I'll try my best to review more. I hadn't really thought of it before. You know, I haven't really thought about how interesting christian fiction could be. I mean I read the books, but i hadnt thought of reading it online. I hadnt actually even seen the category, I either went straight to fantasy or romance. What I thought spiritual was, was like sprits or ghosts or ya know ? Or maybe like some kind of boring meditative stuff. Not really stories with plots or some form of fullness to it. I didn't really think of it as christian fiction. I do really admire you for starting this project. It was really smart, and its very inspiring, so hopefully you'll be hearing more from me.
I Quoth Nevermore 2007-07-29 ch 1,	abuseAbsolutely true. I try to review everything I read. Well, everything that I read that I like, at least. By the way, I love your writing style. Just putting that out there. Now, I must go and review tenfold!
Silveralsa 2007-06-01 ch 1,	abuseHear hear! Lol, so well said, me and a friend have thought the exact same thing. :D
LexiRae726 2007-06-01 ch 1,	abuseI agree with your statement, stories that are rated M (as many of those in the romanxe section are) are generally reviewed more. In my experience this is because they're read more. And they're read more because generally, if a story is rated M, mature content is indeed involved, and the stories are usually more fully fleshed out and engaging. This may simply be because these stories tend to contain a little bit of sex, a little bit (or a lot) of humor, plot, and the like. Not to say that the Spiritual section doesnt have its merit, it does, its just not a section where one would think to find a light, easy, fill your saturday afternoon kind of read, unless you're specifically in the mood for something spiritual. The romance section is synonomous with helping people cope with their own personal woes in love and life. Thats the problem, I think, but its just my opinion
Rezelle 2007-04-21 ch 1,	abuseThat's so true. I want you to know that right now I'm reviewing as much as I can, though I'm new to fictionpress. Every true writer has to start out as a reader, and just beacuse they do start writing doesn't mean they have to stop reading!
Mr.Satire 2007-03-05 ch 1,	abuseI totally agree! Just as we should love our neighbors as ourselves, and as the greatest of all should be the servant of all, no one should expect to receive reviews unless they take the time to thoughtfully review the works of others. Project Mature Content was a great idea! Also, I'm glad that you stuck to your principles while conducting it. Magnificent work; you're right on! -Mr.Satire- P.S. I love your writing style! You have perfect grammar, too! Keep it up!
C.F. Anne 2007-02-17 ch 1,	abuseI totally agree...There are also many, many stories out there that are not novel-type material. They are only written to please the audience. What happened with writing what YOU want to write, rather that writing what the audience wants. Well, I guess I can answer that question...people are wanting the reveiws. It really is sad when a site like this, that is meant to insipire people creates many of them into crowd-pleasing writers. How are people to grow in thier writing if they continue to do that? Anyway, you made a great point in this piece.
Malika7Ariya 2007-02-09 ch 1,	abuseI agree with you; you have a point!
ripitupgenki 2007-01-31 ch 1,	abuseyou are definately right about that. my fanfics on get alot fo reviews usually cause they are M or T. i have learned to over rate cause is a pain about ratings.
Writing4Eternity 2007-01-08 ch 1,	abuseI totally agree.
