Things You Wish Your Readers Would Say

xXblackrainbowsXx:

I'd like it if people would give me suggestions as to how to take my story (:

I'm the exactly opposite, actually.

I wish I would get more reviews that critique something than other than spelling and grammar.

Also, there's always a part or a line in most of my stories that I loved writing and it makes me feel so good when someone points out that section and how mch they liked it too.

I'd like to get more constructive criticism, key word being constructive.

Lately all I've been getting are sugarcoated comments or just plain criticism because of the fandom I write in

I want comments on my setting.
You don't get that a lot.

I would love it if people told me my stories are moving too slowly.

When I write sex scenes, I want people to comment on the character interactions during it, more than I want to know how ~hot it was.

I would like reviews saying what people like and not just saying: oh I love this and such.

I would love to know what they think of the relationships I'm building, like how they are forming and what they think is next.

I wish they would sort of read between the lines and see what could really be going on in another character's head that isn't the POV they're reading from.

I love it when they describe how the update made them feel, like when I kill a character and they say ''I was so sad when I read _____'s death'' Its just nice to know that the updates touch my readers emotionally.

I wish I'd have people read and review my original fiction the same way they review my fan-fictional stories. Or, well, that more would read and review them. Especially Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi Ch'intrate. I mean, I know the title isn't in English but the story is. Only thirteen have read it and no one has commented on it or reviewed it but in my own personal opinion it's one of my best stories. It also connects to a whole bunch of poems which I'm actually quite pleased with. I'd just really like someone to read it all and just go "I think I understand what this is all about." If just someone, just one person, got it that'd mean a whole lot to me.

But that being said, I've gotten a bunch of wonderful reviews and I'm very grateful for those because the ones who posted them really put a lot of effort into writing those.

I would like someone to say 'that was beautiful'. I'd like someone to say I made them cry, or that they felt what the character was feeling. I think I've only gotten that once or twice before. Probably a fault on my part.

Constructive criticism about how I write the story would be nice because sometimes I feel like I'm just saying everything the character is doing.

For example: He ate his cereal. Then he went and showered. After he walked to school.
^ This is pure example. I don't write like this, but sometimes that's how I feel my stories are.

Also, con crit. about my characters.
Lately, it's come to my attention that my characters might be two dimensional.
No one says anything though, so I don't know.

I would love for my commentors to point out my flaws. I don't want them to tell me I'm a horrible writer, I just want some feedback on where I could improve.
Or I would like for them to point out specifically what they like about the story. I usually just get a 'good. cant wait for an update' sort of thing.

I would like it if they would point out every error they find. Listing a few and then pointing out there is more really doesn't help me any. If you're telling me there is an error then clearly I missed it. I can't fix what I can't see. The "I like this." comments are nice but after a while they get repetitive. Those comments tell me the reader A) didn't actually read the chapter/story and/or B) are just kissing ass.

No one likes ass kissers.

This only happened to me once, but I wished it happened more. When readers leave comments about my characters and comparing them to other story characters I've written before. I love when readers bring up little details about my other stories and connect them to the story they are reading now.

I have to agree with what was posted earlier about getting excited when they point out certain lines or actions in the story. I just feel like they really took the time to enjoy my story - not skim through it.

I don't mind one-liners, but sometimes I just feel like there was no real love behind it.

Creative criticism would be nice. Nothing harsh obviously, but let me know what you think should be added and what should be taken away. I may not always comply, but I do thank people for their honesty on what they think of my stories.

I would love it if people told me my stories are moving too slowly.

omg SAME. I feel like my stories just drag and I want to quicken the pace but not so much so that the whole story is finished in ten chapters, sort of thing.

I'd love if people told me if they could relate to a certain character or how it affected them when a character did or said something that didn't agree with the reader. I love getting comments like that.

I would like if they told me how I'm doing.. Like, comments are good, yes, but I want to know if they like or dislike something. At least so I can say, "f**k you, I do what I want" xD I want their opinions

I would like it if the reader told me what they like/ dislike about my story, my characters, what is happening, etc. I mean, I would like to get some criticism sometimes to help me improve my writing.
