Re: Do you ever leave negative reviews?

[ketita]

The only times I'm tempted are when a fic is just good enough that it interests me and I see the potential, but there's some specific issue I feel is dragging the whole thing down. Meaning, if the fic doesn't interest me on some level I probably wouldn't bother.

One time I actually did leave a negative comment on a fic - it had a romance set up, and was pulling the thing where out of Our Pairing (say, A/B), A was currently had a different boyfriend (an OC). The plot was decent, and the idea was to have A eventually leave OC boyfriend in favor of B. The problem was, in order to facilitate this the author completely villainized the OC and had them beat A and be verbally abusive and whatnot. I honestly thought that that author was good enough to write a better story, and pointed out in a review that while the story was interesting and well-written, they could have just as easily made the OC more sympathetic and had the relationship break up anyway (what can I say, imo having your otp come together because of no other options isn't saying much for the otp. A choosing B over OC has much more meaning if OC isn't a horrible excuse for a human being...)

I tried to understate the criticism and phrase it in the most constructive way possible. The author got pissed off, and I haven't left anybody much unsolicited concrit since. Then again, that author was something of a drama queen so eh.
