*coughs*
Hits and reviews are not different things. They’re both generically expressions of interest. Any hit gained would do as much justice as a review; just reviews are considered solitary jsut that much more important.
Reviews, honestly, mean that the person who is writing it has a bit too much time on their hands. If you weren’t to have any reviews at all and know that someone is bothering to at least read the story is a big thing for most people, considering others won’t even have that to hold on to.
There are many, many potential authors who have great skill out there, yet doubt themselves over time and time again due to lame facts and crappy statistics. So what if a review count is 1.3333 per chapter? Is it a calamity? It is definitely not! Is your writing crappy? Probably not, probably is. Might it be your fault? Not always. It is only your fault if, majority-wise, your reviews are negative, blatantly criticising. But as as it goes, I believe you ain’t getting much of that.
Do not take this as a bashing; it is just a simple truth you are blinding yourself from. I can understand the personal conflict you are battling with here may have caused you to feel betrayed by your work and effort, leading to actions such as leaving the said forums and sites based on these judgements, but what I really do not[/i] understand is why you act upon such a weak, feeble cause.
We are not persuading you to leave, nor are we pressuring you to stay, but there’s hardly any reason for your departure, especially on a bloody “lack” of blooming reviews.
Like, seriously, 102? How is that, by any means, bad?

I'm not saying that 102 is bad. I'm saying that I just lost my sense of rhythm with this review count. Doesn't it hurt when you end up tripping over something just when you're on a roll? Sure, I'm aiming for my fics to get past the 100 mark. But here's the catch: I got 187 in my first Pokefic; 237 in my second Pokefic; and 102 in the third one. I think I just lost my momentum so it hurts on my part. But I'm not saying that you should go over there and leave a comment on every single chapter of my fics. I'm just crying my heart out. This is a very rare opportunity for me to receive praises and commendations. I never receive that much during my first days.
I think I just stepped on something. *sigh*

[glow=red,2,300] 237?[/glow] I can't top that! Can't top it! It's rare enough to even get to 50! And you're whining about THIS? Jesus Christ, you need a break.

Aww, the poor baby twipped and falled. Do you need a band-aid? Some neosporin? Do you wanna run your boo-boo under some water? Honestly, stop whining, get up, and write again you f*cking baby. Oh yea, Ima GIRL you jackass.

Jeesh! 237?! That's one-third that of Azumanga Daioh Returns by jamesbondkid2001, and he has 148 CHAPTERS! That's just.... not even some of the other greats could do that....
BTW, was my previous post really that overlooked?

It was a wall of text, Jb. No one really wants to read that. Hence the: 'tl;dr'.

So, let me just get this straight.
With an average of 131.5 reviews, you aren't gonna write anymore?
Srsly, I got 2 reviews on my newest one-shot in the past couple of days, and you don't see me going, "Yeah, I give up, no more writing from me anymore." You're acting like a dork. You act like your egos gonna explode unless you get 50 reviews for each chapter you post.
Obviously, you need a reality check.
They're some pretty amazing authors on ff.net and everywhere around the internet. They don't even GET reviews, and they are awesome! Now, you come and complain about not getting a couple of reviews when they got no feedback or encouragement to keep writing whatsoever. And you know what the most amazing part is?
They are still writing to this day. Because, they are fighters, and they aren't sitting on there lazing butts acting like a complete n00b. So, you know what, Happy Trails. I'm happy you're leaving.
But, why are you staying? Nikky's right, you are a baby, do you need someone to kiss your boo-boo's and make them better.
Well, sorry honey. I'm not kissing your ass today.

I'm speechless. Thanks for the heads-up. Damn.
Well, it's useless right now. It's already the 10th of March and I'm still here. I don't know if that's delaying tactics or whatever. You all remind me of my former forum...full of jackasses and all that. Sorry for the insult but that's how they treat me--the same way you treat me here. Just because I'm a noob doesn't mean I don't know much about Advanceshipping. For your information, I've been meaning to make one ever since I first met May in 2006. But I can't think of anything until today.

But I can't think of anything until today. If you were treated like this at both forums, the common denominator ain't the forums--it's YOU. Stop giving us the ammo and maybe we'll stop shooting holes through your ego.

Honestly, this thread has come to the point of just... pointless.
Razgriz, go look at yourself. All up you've received around 650 reviews from your fics, give or take. So be proud of them. Granted, there aren't many as there were before, that is a given, and we see that. But don't let such a small thing bring you down, for goodness sake.
So step up, find some bricks, and build yourself up again, with a bigger, better new bridge. To achieve this A lot of time and effort is required, I know, but it is worth it in the end, there's no reason not to try.
So, as of now, the thread is locked.
I'm not allowing the risk of this petty feud turning into a big huge cyber-war, especially over something that so incredulously inane.
