Oh good, someone had already brought this question up. I was just prepared to. ( being new and not wanting to offend anyone...)
So would it be polite to also reply to negative reviews, even if they are just bashing, instead of constructive criticism? I had one or two on another site, and was never quite sure how to handle it. Opinions would be welcome.  |

I've never gotten a flame, so I wouldn't know what exactly to do  I've only recently been posting outside OSA though - that could be a huge part of it

I dont reply to reviews - only to specific questions asked.
If someone has left a good piece of feedback then i'll contact them to thank them properly.

I try to respond to reviews. Up until my latest story though I’ve only had about four at the very most and those kind of drizzle in slowly, so it’s a lot easier to reply to each one, if that makes sense. When there’s a lot it’s more difficult, especially remembering whom you’ve already replied to or not. I’ve never gotten a flame on this archive, though I have recently started uploading my Matrix fic onto FF.Net, so I’m expecting maybe a few from there. When I wrote Gerry Anderson stuff before I used to reply to the flames, but then they all came from one person. I don’t think I would bother now if I got flamed again.

But of course, that's the funnest part of it  !
I've never been flamed per se, but I have received negative reviews. I have found that by replying to them you can gain more insight on what the reviewer had in mind. Sometimes it's just a misunderstanding, sometimes you will never agree on anything ... but it's worth a try.
All it takes is saying "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my fic." And then see what happens (although I'm always tempted to add ... "and if you didn't enjoy it why the hell did you read it  ?" I do behave, however, and don't add this to my reply  ).
Good luck!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you would be surprised ... ! It's OK, though, I cannot please everyone ... so I just please myself and write whatever the hell I want .
Thanks for being the groupie ... I love you guys  !
