This is very good advice for the newcomers to FanStory, Nicole. I feel that most of us, me included, blundered onto this site, unaware of reviewing etiquette. Perhaps this advice should be included in the welcome, and 'how to' page.

This is a fun poem commenting on our writing community. I wish that there was better mentoring on the front side when we join up. Maybe this poem should be part of the welcome package! I'm amazed at the people that sign up for feedback, but only want positive, glowing feedback! I feel most embraced when other writers take the time to give me honest feeeback. anyway--you did this with a great sense of humor, and I hope you win!!! Caroline

Thank you for reading this, Caroline. I liked your comment:

Comment from Joan E.
Congratulations on winning the contest. My attention was grabbed by your clever picture selection and wordplay in the title. I enjoyed your fun, rhymed couplets in rhythmic quatrains. My favorite was your "colours" metaphor. I hope your guide is taken seriously by newbies! Cheers- Joan

I like the poem because it rhyme. Because the Writing Prompt required a poem of rhyme, I thought it was excellent, when I never write poems and I'm doing my first.
To ask a beginner is the only thing is wrong. Now, I have to figure out where to submit the twelve line poem I wrote.

I thought it was a pleasant surprise. Rarely, I get a surprise for something as self satisfying as this. Thank you.

Comment from kathleenspalding
Hahaha! Very cute and clever, not to mention good advice! But...what is SPAG?
Reads nice, flows well. Great choice of artwork. Gave me a good laugh, especially because when I was brand new to Fanstory, I gave Mastery a four for a few typos because I took the excellent=no changes necessary thing quite literally. :-p lol! Hooray for being able to go back and change it! Have a good day!

Comment from Spiritual Echo
This is a cute way to remind people of their behaviour on site and the fact there are people behind the words. I'm not at all surprised you won the contest when originally posted. It's lighthearted and fun to read, but it packs a strong message.

Comment from royowen
I got two two X two star reviews in the light of getting loads of exceptionals, one of the reviewers said it was "boring", the other didn't like the chosen genre, a bit destructive, they had done it before. There is always the mute button. I've only done it twice. Constructive critiques I can handle, but not perversity, that was my first week as no1, I'd become a target. Some people get really hurt, some dirk wad gave you 4, some love the work, and give 4stars, once again one stop casuals, Well done, Nicole, I can understand why you won the contest, blessings, Roy

Thank you, Roy. Sadly, I think Christian poems are a target for some. There are a few on the site who regularly behave in an irreverent manner and deserve to be muted.
Your poems are excellent--so there will be jealousy.

Comment from barkingdog
I just love your fun piggy and the poem is spot on about how to behave on FanStory. I can see why it won the contest.
'Careful what you say...
Words of spite don't pay.'
Thank you for bringing this back. I had missed it the first time.
