How not to get reviews



Every fan fic writer loves reviews. They give them the ambition to start a story or finish another. So asking for reviews on a story is pretty common in the fan fiction world, but even the simplest thing of requesting for some feedback can go wrong.

Satoh: “Okay, I just finished my first chapter for a story, but I'm afraid I won't get a lot of reviews. What if I told my readers they have to give me 10 reviews if they want me to write another chapter.”

Maybe this would be a good way to get 10 flames, but as for reviews, no. DO NOT EVER THREATEN YOUR READERS. I can not stress this enough. Like I said before holding your readers for ransom is a perfect way to get flame. Saying “I won't finished a chapter unless I get this much amount of reviews.” makes you seem arrogant and unpleasant. If you write something even remotely like this readers probably won't even care if you finish the story never mind a chapter.

Satoh: “Well, how do I get reviews then?”

Well, obviously writing a good fan fiction.

Satoh: “...”

But all jokes aside a simply “I need some motivation to write this story so please give me some feedback.” or you can be funny when asking for reviews, “Every time you don't read & review God kills a kitten.”

Another thing you should avoid is referring to your readers as b**ches, f**gots, n**gars, or any other cursed word. Though you might thinks its funny or cute to use these words to refer to your readers, your audience might think otherwise. Word like these can easily offend your fans and might even get you banned. I understand that some people use these words jokily because to them they have no real meaning, but the despite the little nursing rhyme 'words do hurt' so think before typing.
