Reviews For: Okay, but seriously

NJ Fatuzzo 2008-08-09 ch 1,	abuseHeh. That was a good read, and definitely true, for the most part. However, I (and it's probably just me) like it when people point out faults in my stories, so I can fix them. Otherwise, I look like an idiot. It's better to look like an idiot in front of one person, than 100. Well, that was my "constructive criticism". And thanks for reviewing my story, as well.
Outsider Looking In 2008-07-07 ch 1,	abuseIt is absolutly true.I liked it.
Bazooka Joy 2008-05-11 ch 1,	abuseHaha this is amusing as well as mostly true. Sometimes you have to put the truth out there whether people like it or not. I'm not going to be quick to say like a lot of people who read this and smack down your idea by saying "oh, it's not true, not all people are like that, we're not selfish" ...etc. Maybe your forceful way of putting things made them jump to the defense. Human beings are naturally selfish. If you want to be successful...you HAVE to be selfish in some way. And the constructive criticism part is true for people who only write just to be writing. There are very few people here who actually plan on becoming successful authors so they tend to be into criticism a bit. When I see "if you review mine, I'll review yours" then they don't appear to take writing seriously. Those who respond with a "lol that was great" or "cool, write more!" only wrote those reviews just to be writing one in hopes of getting one back. You got the general idea of what's going on and I can't tear you apart because of it. True, you're not a psychologist but you're human. Deep down we're all the same! Or most of us anyways.
Johannas mirror 2008-05-02 ch 1,	abuseOk, here's one, what about the girl who loves being flamed? aka...um...me? Jojo.
Purpose 2008-03-30 ch 1,	abuseAlright, yes we are all selfish in one way or another. But I won't apologize for it, I'm sorry that's just the way I am. (oh lord I hope you got that). Not I would say motivational, but definitly insightful (I'll admit I do it all the time).
BlondeWithABrain 2008-03-24 ch 1,	abuseSadly, all of that is true. Especially the "selfish race" part. We've got that down to a tee. (I never really understood that expression. "Down to a tee"...)
ServalSpotz 2008-02-11 ch 1,	abuseCriticism? Why? It's funny! And well written, too. Although, I actually do appreciate constructive criticism. I've got to admit, though, that reviews containing compliments do make me happier. It's sad, isn't it, that to be famous, in many cases at least, it really does help to be selfish?
Elphius L. Doge 2007-12-19 ch 1,	abuseYou have a point, but it's not necessarilly true for everyone. raise your eyebrows I know from my own experiences, and from other people's experience (because I do like to listen to other people, who are real, and not Oprah or Dr. Phil, or any other celebrity that I DON'T know about). Like I said before though, you have a point, people act that way. While I can't say you're right, I also can't say you're wrong. It feels better to be a giver, and a nice person though.
asylum writer 2007-08-20 ch 1,	abuseThis may be true about some people, but not everyone. I listen to people's problems because I actually care, not because I'm waiting to talk about my problems. And some people actually do want constructive criticism. I do. Compliments are great, but you're never going to get any better if that's all you get. Constructive criticism is not "just criticism" as you say. It's called constructive because it helps you improve your writing. It's reviews like "this story sucks" that are "just criticism" (or undeserved nastiness) and not constructive criticism. By the way, you might be interested to read the note that comes up when you go to submit a reivew: "It is extremely helpful to use this opportunity to comment on an aspect of the story that can be improved. A well rounded critique is often the most rewarding tool for the writer."
Lost Shepherd 2007-07-13 ch 1,	abuseHi, it's me, I already reviewed a few of your pieces, and I think you're an excellent author. I really liked the ideas in this one, and the forcefull ways in which you enforced them. I said it before, and I'll say it again, I patiently await further literary transactions between us. By the way, here's your constructive criticism, but you're not going to like it: ... ...Okay, I guessI couldn't really think of anything besides a typo, but you said, in the end of the last, large paragraph, "...job done, and [LIFE] like you want to!" Anyways... seeya.
The Mumbling Sage 2007-06-22 ch 1,	abuseYou don't know what you're talking about, idiotbird or whatever your name is. No seriously, people do in fact want CC. Otherwise, why don't we just send out for publishing? Durdurdur... YourWorstNightmare6 does not appear to be on this site. Farewell. STRAWBERRIES! (How's that for CC)?
Lauren 2007-06-18 ch 1, anon.	abuseU dont know me and I dont know u... I just happened to come across this while I was reading stuff on fiction press...so Im guess by ur plz comment at the end u want compliments... I like that u expressed ur opinion but I dont believe what u wrote is completely true. I like listening to peoples problems so I can help them... therefore also showing that Im not selfish since I do care for others. Also when I ask for constructive criticism I rlly want ppl to tell me their opinion on it even if their opinion is that it is bad. Anyways that's just my opinion.
Genesis F.T 2007-06-18 ch 1,	abuseGees little harsh there...but so true. Though sometimes people take "I want constructive criticism" seriously and overanalyze a story bit by bit with a large microscope. Maybe those people are the rare ones who do want the critisism so they can "grow" Like I said-so true -Genesis F.T
Zephyr-wings 2007-06-18 ch 1,	abuseSo very true my sister!
