This is quite a lovely piece of work that the author has created here. I am glad that you decided to bear your heart like this. Well done.

    Thanks Bro I did get some of the idea from one of you m ore industrious writers re the fact that if there is no pride in one's work it does show by the reward offered for reviews.

I guess, I agree, I wouldn't expect much in the way of reviews if I only had a 2 cent reward. Cute poem with a message. Good use of rhyming and an enjoyable read. Faye

    Thanks friend not sure we have met before appreciate your coming by. Been overwhelemed with some pretty good reviews on this it has been on my heart for some time and another writer inspired me to do it as he said we promote our work in accordance with the pride or not we have in it.

Yeah, what he said. I mean you. I think it is so unfair to have to write more in a review than we have to read. Like the little, wee, tiny, miniscule contest poems.

I always promote my own work to at least .52 member cents. Longer writes I shoot the price up to well over 1.00. I think that's only fair.

However, it never fails to amaze me that the people who won't even read your promoted worked get miffed because you failed to read their two cent posts.

Go figure...

    Yeah Dean you got some good points there. Thanks for coming by. Has Jay Squires got his anthem music I wrote for him sorted out with you yet? Piper's Fancy seems to be able to do th e embedding thing pretty good I reckon that is what Jay needs on the particular chapter.
reply by Dean Kuch on 06-Nov-2014
    Not yet, Sankey, at least not that I know of. RGStar is great at embedding narration and music in posts as well. It makes for one heck of a presentation.
reply by the author on 06-Nov-2014
    All good to know mate thanks for that. I have a whole bunch of my Carols etc embedded in the church Site I run I should copy them over to my own place as well maybe before Christmas. Let me know if interested the carols are on FS but some say they can't get the music. I promoted the Intro anyway again recently. Dean it is Geoff here by the way.
reply by Dean Kuch on 06-Nov-2014
    Got it, Geoff. I appreciate the heads up. :}

Your poem, dear Brother in the Lord, is beyond a doubt a fair and just request. I think we all look for those who pay more, we read first, then the other , but a fair review for each. Well said. My blessings to you.

Sankey, this needed to be aired for fairness sake and I agree wholeheartedly, mate. I hope those who want something for nothing will take heed. Well done in a humorous way. :0 GracieAnn

    Thanks Sis. I did feel it needed to be said. I wish I could promote more with more dollars but I realise we only have so much.

True, true! I have a bunch of folk who never put a dime on their work. It does get old. Hahaha. I don't mind here and there especially when it's my fault for being late, but a little certificate at least for the loyal little crowd!! Well put. A lot of heads nodding in agreement. mikey

I tried reading some of the stories but found I don't have much of an attention span, so I stick to poems mostly. It's hard to define what "fair" is when reviewing as I've come to realize not everyone who posts is willing to entertain the notion that their work might need improvement in some area...

    Good point. I know some times I have felt at the start a revciewer was being pretty hard on me but as I went back later and looked at the areas they genuinely wanted to help me in I realised they were right. Afterall why do we write in FS do we want sincere reviewers to tell us where we can improve? Have had all sorts of reviewers even some a bit mean but still give me a five ha go figure! Thanks for coming by.
reply by flamingstar on 06-Nov-2014
    ...and don't forget the ones who give you two stars but "thoroughly enjoyed your work." I always scratch my head on those!
reply by the author on 06-Nov-2014
    yeah a friend on here enjoyed my poem no spags and gave me 4 points! She realized the mistake and fixed it but go figure.

Hello Sankey, I enjoyed reading your poem which expresses frankly what goes behind reviewing.You have a point; why should one waste his time unless he is rewarded reasonably. In this context, I have a question for Fanstorians. Even if one earns member dollars and gives a raving review, why do not all of them cast their votes at the time of voting wherever required. Since they do not, someone flaunts the winner badge even though his entry may not be the best.

I like the picture. Does the rose have significance? Like our Eagle does here? This is a nice poem and a good way to express your feelings. I've often wondered about those lovely poems with only 2 cents on them.
