Let's start off by talking about what a review and what its function is.

A review is a reader leaving you a comment about your story. They felt moved to take the time to tell you how they feel about your story. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. 

A good comment isn't one that necessarily means that the reader liked it.  A good comment will explain to the writer what needs to be improved on in a non-confrontational manner.

A bad comment, often referred to as a flame, is a comment that could include why the reader hates the 'pairing', or story why the story doesn't work for them (usually because of the aforementioned pairing).

Here are some pointers to get reviews from most readers.

Let's say you are sitting in a job interview and someone asks:

"Do you know computers?"

How do you answer that????

This tells me alot about the interviewer and, generally, it's not a good impression. It's almost the same as when they ask me: "So do you have any college education?" I would like to answer: "WTF,  I'm a Doctoral candidate! What do you think?!"

Instead i politely say..."Yes I do."

 

Ok my sons were playing and they came up with:

Motorcycle-zombie fail.

Is this what happens when Ghost Rider has a flat? I dare you to write it!

So I was playing with a random pairing generator again when I should have been doing homework.  For those who are interested, you can see this  as a sort of a fanfic challenge:

Mother Theresa/He-Man...who knew :P

I long for the days of my childhood when the sight of a snowflake (Dallas, Texas) would close EVERYTHING down. Schools, work, everything would close down.  But alas, I live in Iowa where at least this dislocated Texan knows how to drive on icy roads.  Snow, it used to be fun but now...well now...I hate it with a passion because of all the injuries one can incurr because of it, not only slipping on the snowy-ice and yes that's what it becomes, but from just shoveling the stuff. It's literally like lifting a half of a brick with every shovelful. None of my kids want to play in it, I don't want to kill myself trying to learn how to ski, sledding or any other thing that could end in a life ending head injury just because it's fun! Well, no thank you. I don't even like waterskiing, much less snow skiing which I have never tried out. No, I'd prefer to throw on just a good wind breaker verses dressing in layers for the winter.

By now most of you know that I'm a multi-fandom fanfic writer. One thing I would want for Chirstmas is well fic. Can't get enough of the stuff really. Now the parameters of my wishlist are these:

1. The pairing must pair the couple together within the rules of the relative universe and canon BUT I would like to see a novel approach of pairing them up in relation to fandom convention.
2. The pairing can be platonic but can lead into something ....else...at the writer's discretion.
3. Story length is the writer's discretion.

I will in exchange write a story for you if you like.

Pairings I would like to receive:

Jack/Elizabeth POTC
Jareth/Sarah Labyrnith
Data/Yar ST:TNG
Daisy Duke/Enos Dukes of Hazzard
Four/Tegan OR Five/Tegan OR Turlough/Nyssa (surprise!) Doctor Who
Qui Gon/Shmi Star Wars-TPM
Hawkeye/Maragret M*A*S*H*

If you have a request, post below and I'll try to write something that resembles a story ;)

Warning cracky response. Should not be taken seriously.

No but I have observed that Captain Jack Sparrow recieved one Jar of Dirt and was told in not so many words that it would help him in his plight he found himself in with one Davey Jones. In the end it did not help one bit and Captain Jack Sparrow was forced to spend time in Davey Jones Locker as a result. A clear and obvisous hoax this was, yet, Captain Jack Sparrow most likely believed it was better to try this method than to use that suspiciously looking acne cream that most probably would only make things worse for him. Therefore, I have learned that when offered mysterious tailsmen such as Jars of dirt, most likely they won't prevent you from being sent to Davey Jones Locker and that one must try the acne cream as a diversionary tactic as you run away to live on land for the rest of your miserable life.

"Vis is KAOS! We don't fall madly in love here"

I am of the opinion we should know enough about a person as much I would want them to know about me. For instance, I would not like anyone using my first name as if they personally knew me when they didn't. I find it rude and distrubing for someone to assume that they can. Though If I am talking to another fan I do use their first names at times in more causal conversations. I also tend to refer to celebrities by their titles and last name only, unless they are royalty where their title and first name is appropiate. I am not the kind of fan to yell "I love you Johnny," in as much as I would like to tell him: "I enjoyed your portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, Mr. Depp". Keeping the relationship where it belongs, as one of his many admirers from a distance.

What celebrities do while during their off time is not really any my business as what I like to do in my off time is really none of their concern.  However, being a 'star' does mean you must fan the flame of fame, which means you have to 'stoke' your presence in the community in order to get high paying jobs. It means you have to have drawing power...especially in the media, so studios at least know that some of your fanbase will be going to see your latest movie. How far does one go in revealing private moments , in my opinion,  is up to us fans really.  If you are disgusted upon the invasion of privacy that the celebrities receive, don't buy the magazines that continually uses invasive measures to get that exclusive 'photo' or story. As my grandmother told me when I was younger: "They put their pants on the same way we do, one leg at a time."
