I feel like a story should be complete before it's submitted to the challenge

0 (0%)

I feel like as long as the story is at least 2/3 done it is fine to submit

LOL You know I agree with you, especially when it comes to reviewing and replying to reviews.   I never know how to react when someone says they've supposedly read almost all my stories, yet I don't remember ever getting a review from them.  On one hand, I'm like, "Oh, thanks!" and on the other, I'm like, "Why didn't I know you were reading my stories?"

^ The second reaction is always my initial one but I don't want to come off as pushy but yes, it's that thought I instantly have! Again not as often if I know they don't write, but if they write, it just kind of ends up annoying me and takes away from them telling me they are reading my stuff in the first place.

I just had that happen a few days ago where someone said something about one of my stories that made it obvious they were reading and I wanted to be like "And not even one review?" LMAO I'm so anal!

Maybe it's just me or a select few of us who do review everything we read but it's simple. If I haven't reviewed it, I haven't read it. That's just how it goes! Sometimes I will read one chapter of something and then decide I don't like it and I'll move on but other than that, it's how I roll...homey!

We owe it to each other. After all we don't get paid to do it, so the only thing we get off of this is the praise telling us maybe we aren't wasting our time? lol

Exactly.  Reviews are like the "suggested donation" some places that are free will ask for.  If you don't give a donation, even a small one, you're a douche.  We're providing free entertainment.  If people are being entertained by our stories, the least they can do is say so!

[mare]

LOL Exactly! "You're a douche!" I should just start randomly saying that to people.

Lol we can start the You're A Douche! Campaign to get people to be considerate and review more.

[RokofAges75]

"You're a Douche if You Don't Review" has a nice ring, I think?

[mare]

Trademark that! LOL

[RokofAges75]

Or "Don't be a douche.  Review." like the old "Be kind. Rewind." on rental tapes LOL.

[mare]

LOL Yes!

[Rose]

Or "Don't be a douche.  Review." like the old "Be kind. Rewind." on rental tapes LOL.

[mare]

Lmfao! You're amazing. I love it.

[mare]

LOL Tempting. We'll have to see how Jullily feels about it.

[RokofAges75]

Yeah, I don't know if something like that would shame people into reviewing or turn them off.  I put "Feedback makes fanfic worth writing!" above the comment box on my site, but this is definitely more direct LOL.
