(08/03/2016) I went looking for old stories that I had reviewed because I'm notoriously bad at adding things to my favorites/follows. It's weird to think that when I started on this site, I was just a little 11-year-old kid that didn't know the first thing about constructing sentences and whose jokes were mostly inspired by That 70s Show. There aren't many authors from the 00s that are still kicking around here...Not sure if that's a sign of my resilience or just my obsessive personality hahaha.

Personal Policies

- I usually read my reviewers' works before I go looking out using the filters. It's easier. I don't typically read people that fav/follow because the names don't pop up in my e-mail. If you leave a review, there's a 98% chance that, if you write in fandoms I'm interested in, I'll be reading your works, 2% being that I'm too swamped with work/school :P

- In that same vein, I am much more likely to give constructive reviews rather than three-word reviews. Even if I don't find anything wrong with it, I'm probably going to gush for several sentences about why it was good and how much I loved it :)

- Even if I've read a story that I don't like, I still leave a review as a common courtesy, to let them know what I specifically didn't like about it. Sometimes we authors just don't know what we're doing wrong until someone tells us!

- In the past, I would write chapter stories as chapter-by-chapter, but since my updating skills are notoriously bad, I typically only write one shots now. If I post a chapter story, rest assured that I have at least five chapters written up and it will not take five years to finish as I have done on some other stories...

- I used to get intimidated by writing in multiple fandoms, but now I will write in literally anything that I have inspiration for writing in. Currently, shoujo manga is where my obsession has been trending. You can expect a lot of different fandom one shots out of me, but YuGiOh! is my one constant. I can never seem to get away from it :) - not that I'm complaining!

- Reviews. While this is not a "personal policy," per se, it is a pet peeve. I know that fanfiction is for fun - and for me, it's a way to satisfy the pent-up fangirl in me - but for a large majority of writers on this site, it's also to improve on one's writing. Many authors start off writing fanfiction before they go into original fiction or get published. When people labor over chapters for the readers and post it online, it's to receive feedback from other fans or writers. It really is disheartening to put all this time into a piece of work and get little - or no - feedback. It isn't about being "a review Nazi," but just trying to get better, to develop better writing abilities, and, above all, to know that the way we ARE writing is pleasing to the reader. Just because you favorite it/follow it, doesn't mean that you like everything about it. I've had people like my stories, but still have things to say about it that they think should be changed. I've been writing on here since 2003 and I can promise you that I didn't get better at my writing by myself. It took one persistent flamer, several reviews full of constructive criticism, and just pushing myself forward, working with the feedback (and SUPPORT) from my reviewers. So, please. Leave the author a review. It's the least you can do when we're writing stories of your favorite shippings for you.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
