This would make me want to read some books more. Like, seeing reviews of people saying how much they love a character or relationship, and not about the philosophical stuff even if that is good sometimes
We also need more author’s notes that create a sense of whiplash. I once read an AN after the epilogue of a 300k Naruto fanfic that was basically “since Sasuke is infertile, Itachi had to be the surrogate so, meaning that Itachi is techincally the one that got Naruto pregnant” and I felt genuinely taken aback.
every time someone calls me evil or sick in the head or comments “[handle name] when i catch you” my life extends by five years. soon i will become immortal.
some of those reviewers literally dont say anything constructive, so yeah!
But I really appreciate reviews that tell it how it is and give something constructive, the goods, the bads, and an overview from a readers perspective as to what it actually is without spoiling! Thats why thats hoe I review things…
Okay but what if fanfic reviews were like book reviews? Imagine you read a silly fanfic obviously made for laughs and all the comments, every single one, was a professional review.
Its actually genuinely an annoying and frustrating things thet the book reviews all say the exact same thing "scary and intense" like obviously, its a horror? "Love the romance." YES CAUSE UTS A ROMANCE, is there any other details they can give PLEASE 😭

And death threats towards the author? Yeah no, seems like a fanfictard'a fantasy world where they all matter somehow. No one wants that.
My editor will send me notes like those in between the actual profesional stuff
I have never omce seen a threat towards a fanfic author on AO3. Where tf do you read your fanfics? A website full of kids and teenagers?

I wish books had tags I could read like on an AO3 fanfic to make sure there's no smut
Dont forget the "Keep cooking bro!"
Yes plzzzzzzz
I did that but the other way around. I've never been more passionate about a Five Night's at Freddy's fanfiction before.
The NPR one seems oddly plausible….
Fanfic reviews sound like a cesspool.
I read NPR as NPH for a second m, and for a brief moment thought Neil Patrick Harris was crying lol
god I fucking hate tumblr
Don't forget the heart emoji spam that accompanies the keyboard smash

This would be so great❤
I wish these videos were in dark mode so it doesn't blind me at night. Please vincey, do it for us night owls.
Some like that are fine but not all
depends on the reviewer

Dead fic
“Another self insert, original…”
Is one that made me stop writing fanfic, the fucking blow it hit took me by surprise
This is the only type of review i will accept when i finally publish
headcanon that they're all talking about the same book, NYT and WSJ disagree about shipping
"dont ask for another book im not your b*tch" – pat rothfuss
Personally I like to say something along the lines of “*eats ur writing* mmmm yummy soup.”
We are all giggly little fan girls sometimes
How about the inverse: fanfic reviews done like professional book reviews
would unironically buy more books if these were the reviews
NOOO 'Cause I do this shit all the time on Tumblr and AO3 keyboard slam
If I write a book, I'll get my friends to send me these kinda reviews, but I won't actually let them read what they're reviewing..

Tumblr at its most Tumblr; SO. DAMN. ANNOYING.
And these are ALL for the same book.
Its actually genuinely an annoying and frustrating things thet the book reviews all say the exact same thing "scary and intense" like obviously, its a horror? "Love the romance." YES CAUSE UTS A ROMANCE, is there any other details they can give PLEASE 😭
this is also hilarious the other way 😂
“A masterful work that amazingly portrays the heart and soul of the original work”-dreamsiREN2z8
“An incredible depiction of the struggles of your average hometown dragon teen”- PersassyTheSeaBrain
“A perfect balance of fantasy and realism” -Ligma42
“Incredible.”-NotYourUncle
my friend and i once commented on a fanfic that we "wanted that blue twink dead"
We also need the AO3 style tags
Also just „😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i‘m DYING“
