Question regarding Ashwinder

[lady_karelia]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way that allows me to see what rating a reviewer has given? It shows up all blank on my screen except in the author listing and possibly the chapter listing, but not on the individual reviews. Thanks.

*sigh* I was hoping it was me rather than their system *snerk*.

I got this weird-arse review from someone who only had the account for a short while and only left one review. And I could swear my rating was a full 5 stars a couple of days ago on that story. I think I might contact the mods and ask them, even if it's out of sheer curiosity...

Well that's bitchy. I'm sorry, love. Maybe some of us should just go review whichever story it was (which was it?) and boost those ratings right back up. *nods*

You're a real sweetheart, you know? It's okay, though. I'm not bothered by low ratings, and half a point isn't going to kill me. I'm merely curious if that person left a low rating. It's the review for Chapter 10 of No Music More Enchanting on Ashwinder, the one that complains about me leaving very little mystery and comparing it to Nancy Drew. I mean, surely, you'd expect mystery in a story that is in the category of Romance *snort*. I suppose the reviewer isn't the brightest star in the sky, but alas. :-)

I've never read that one! I must go read it soon. *nod nod* (and boost ratings, of oourse)

As a quick note, this post inspired me to go back through some of my reviews, and I found two for the very last chapter of Dark Roast that torqued me.

First: That was a great story but the end was a little of a let down. I really think we need an epilogue - no pressure.
Second: She should just kill him now, the prick. He definitely deserves it.

...I so enjoy reviews. *sighs* Funny how the bad ones can stick out, but the good ones are fabulous.

*snort* How can the end be a let down???? Sheesh, some readers... But of course, it explains why so much craptastic fiction is published. I won't even acknowledge the second review, lol.

I agree, most reviews are wonderful, but then it's always the bad ones that stick out. And, oh, what a surprise, the bad ones are usually by readers who've not written a story to be read by all and sundry *snerk*.
