Re: Writing Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

First, second or third person--present or past tense...write what you want to write, and ignore the people who tell you "You must be This Good before you're allowed to write This Thing."

Don't be afraid of dialogue tags other than "said"--just learn to use them judiciously. Dialogue tags are like seasonings: "said" is like salt, and dialogue tags other than "said" are like spices and herbs. The right amount of the latter can make your dish; too much of them can ruin it. People who tell you never to use any dialog tags other than "said" are like people who think salt is the only seasoning you need. They're like "Look at this stupid person putting ginger and chilies in their food! And here, what's this--lemon juice and black pepper, wtf! And here...some oregano! Nope, nope, nope! Salt, people! Salt, dammit! It's the only seasoning you'll ever need." Sometimes there's occasion for "she asked" or "he wailed."

Reviewers should feel more free to voice criticisms of the fic they're reading...if they can manage to do it with courtesy and gentleness. A negative reaction has as much right to be said as a positive one. Just lose the sarcasm. It's default mode for most people who criticize things on the internet, and nothing is more wounding.
