So that we don't run into the same problem again as last time let's all try to stick to these rules :) .The 'Not Acceptable' examples are not only eating up bandwidth, it is cluttering up the forum. The focus should be on *constructive criticism* or HELPFUL feedback. Feedback that at least lets the author know what you did and didn't like about what you read.

people these days huh? cant wait 4 an update!! (CONTINUE!) Anyways, I really like this latest part of your story, especially when the sorting hat started singing! I can just picture it now! That twist at the end came from nowhere and I didn't even see it coming! Really good job on this one.

This is very interesting.

This is very interesting (CONTINUE!)because you've got a really nice set-up here with the plot and the characters are written perfectly. I've never seen a fan fic written like this before so I'm excited to read what will happen next.

Get the idea? Please try to give the author some helpful feeback so that they know what you like and want to see for the future of their story. This time around, please let's try to keep the off-topic conversations out of poeple's fics. if you have any unrelated questions you can always pm the person ;) This way, when the author tries to see where they last left off with their story, they don't have to go through a tub of spammy posts.


I'm not trying to suck the fun out of this, but this has been called to our attention. You can still make this a lot of fun and your feedback can be fun and enjoyable as well.

Don't just post, to be posting. As always, make sure you truly have something to say.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM one of us mods :wizard:
