Ouuuuuuuuch. That ached. Like, it ached as much as someone putting my hand in a blender.
But... meh.

Oh my God, that was overly harsh. Like, I'm all about concrit, but this person is WRONG.
"You forget that most people read for a quick one-shot" is SO FAR OFF THE MARK I can't begin to describe it. This forum is proof that not everyone just wants oneshots. Some people want genuine character development and epic stories. In fact, quite a few of them do, as is evidenced by the PLETHORA of people putting the stuff out - AND getting numerous reviews.
Basically, that review wasn't concrit, but it's not quite a flame. They were just wrong. -.-

Good heavens! What an a*s! Seriously, that's just horridly wrong of someone to SAY THAT.

Ouch. That was pretty harsh. But...at the same time, I can see where they're coming from. Long fics with big word counts, no matter how well written, definitely scare some people off. Not everyone, of course, but some. Though I'd say that applies more the new readers than people who have already been following along...
Still, ouch.

Right SaI, listen-up; she/he is WRONG, huni! So I'm still in the early parts of Tenacity, but screw what that person just said, I agree with Tasha completely - I never clisk on FF.net looking for a kind of flash-in-the-pan of a oneshot, and I don't find long fics all that daunting otherwise I would have never started reading your fic, Horky's "Diaries of a Broken Man" or "The Heroic Tasks of Shuhei Hisagi". Meh, I think was the best response; brush it off and write for those still comitted to your staory sweetie!! Also, started a new Seto/Kisara story for Yu-Gi-Oh! called "Paper Roses", and I'm getting some really awesome reviews, along with concrit!!! -So happy!!- and ;D

Aww, mystic. *glomps* Seriously, though--I want to put some of your lines on bumper stickers or promotional tags for genius lines by fanfic writers.

I just got the awesomest review. It was quite a bit longer than this, but here's a snippet:

I love Krynn and the Review Exchange page like anything now.
and now to one that was so short, I wasn't sure what she was trying to say.
Appreciated just the same though!

I should explain that this review was given on my chapter of a collaborative Reeve/Yuffie Fic, called 'Stuck'. But uhh.. O.O wow. I wasn't sure what to say. haha. Still not <.< Really a wonderful ego booster, but not the kind that is "ZOMIGAWD, AWESOME." He/She actually had support for his/her reasoning, and that makes it seem all the more heartfelt.

Guess whose back and reviewing again? You see that part in bold? I've never written a Death Note fic because I'm not a great fan of the anime ... The spelling hurt my eyes ... auther On the bright side, this review pwned all ... ;D

So, I wrote a fluffy oneshot for the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series. And I got this review:
How the hell do I respond to that?

Ooh, you wrote a Percy Jackson story? About which characters? Haha, the easiest response would be something like: "Thanks! Glad you liked it! Enjoy your...flower hunting?"

*dies* I totally missed that when I looked at the review--I was caught up on her rambling about flower. I'm with Kas.
