So I write fanfiction for SasuSaku. Currently, the fic I am writing is a horror genre. It's the first time in a long time since I've enjoyed writing again because I have depression (it makes no sense as to why I'm writing horror, but I love it).
The fic I'm working on I spent time writing carefully because I didn't want to screw it up again and not finish.
All of the reviews I received so far were generally positive and helped motivated me greatly that I was able to update faster than I normally do. So I posted my new chapter this morning around one-ish, feeling good about it since I managed to squeeze one out before the semester started.
Then I look at my email to see a new review thinking it was good. So here it is in its entirety:
Story: The Red Room
Chapter: 3. Chapter III: A Mere Shadow

:Hi! I really like it so far. You have a few grammar errors here and there so
you might wanna work on editing a little more. Oh and this is really minor but
most of the Japanese you use has really bad grammar. I speak Japanese and it
just kinda bugs me seeing grammatical errors as with English. Honestly, just
stick with writing all in EnglishJapanese honorifics since those are simple.
I was freakin livid. The whole entire damn review just slammed me on how bad my grammar was and how it bugged the shit out of this anonymous guest. And to say that I need to edit more-I fucking edit my chapters AT LEAST FOUR TIMES!
I really hate it when all you can say in a review is that something sucked or it wasn't good or this doesn't make sense.
Like deviant art, I believe fanfiction is a place where you can get away from the real world--not be graded on how good your art is or how stupid your paper sounds by a fuckin professor.
We don't need those kinds of people bringing us down when all we're trying to do is share something that we like with you.
Anyways this is my rant. Sorry about that. It just really annoyed me, that review did. And if you're interested in reading my fic here's the link
