Good on you for being so honest. I have to tell you, you make me want to double check my spelling and punctuation before I send you anything. I'm now thinking of the PM I just sent you, and how many times a non-capitalised 'i' featured. Lol. I cant say I've ever suggested to someone that they actually remove a story from the site (SERIOUS improvements, yes, but not removal), but I cant say that I've ever read one so dreadful either! But I'm glad that you're so critical about stories you read - ESPECIALLY Narnian ones. Because there really is some dodgy stuff out there, and I really would like to get some of those authors in a classroom and teach them the difference between a full-stop and a comma. Or, even, just the difference between punctuation and no punctuation. As for slashy or incesty fics... well, most of them are clearly labelled, but there are certainly some that sneak in under my radar and catch me by surprise. Same as you, I have let them know what I thought about their fic in quite a frank manner. Thanks for your honesty in revewing; I, and any other author who wants to improve, appreciate it.

I really do appreciate this. It's totally true. I wish I had the courage to say everything that I want to in a review; I've read some pretty badly written ones. I think that if more people reviewed like you say you do (less swearing, more constructive criticism, less being mean spirited) the world of writing would be a better place. I also think that your reasons for this "flaming", as others call it, are really well thought out, as well as great reasons that I would use if I had the courage to write such things. So far, with what I've read, you have impeccable grammar and great spelling; I do appreciate that you actually do know how to write before you criticize others. It irritates me when people gripe and moan about bad grammar and spelling when they can't write either. Well, that's basically all of what I can think to say! Great job, and I commend you for your frankness. .::Bookwurm23::. Wow. I really do appreciate this. It’s totally true.
