Deniz22, I really enjoyed reading your revenge rant for the Revenge Reviewing contest. The added sarcasm so appealed to my sense of humour. I wish I could use some of your well chosen points in reply to a review I just received from someone who does not know what they are talking about. Grrr it is so very annoying. Going into their profile I see they REALLY need to take some lessons in writing. Excuse my grumbles...can't help but feel very frustrated with newbie bad reviewers.
Best of luck to you for this most enjoyable read. ~DD

Disclaimer to all; this entry is from a culmination of reviewing experiences on FanStory. I have been on both sides of reviewing, from newbie twit myself, whose first review was a rewrite of someone else's essay, to being given a two star review from another newbie no it all (that's a pun, not a misspelling).
For the most part, FanStory is a great site, offering support and feedback I have not found on other similar sites. It can be frustrating when a writer gets an unfair review, but perhaps it is from someone giving there first review in terrible earnestness. So let's all cut each other some slack and look for what the writer is actually trying to express more than we do the errant comma or misplaced apostrophe.
So my entry is supposed to be satire, which I take to mean sarcasm with a point other than simply dissing someone. Thanks to all who read, reviewed and responded so nicely. Dennis

Deniz,
What a fun idea for a contest!! I imagine this one will garner some really creative and fun entries. Haha!! I look forward to reading them. Only one small note:
1.) Said (sentences) are useful however, for dividing the restful white spaces
Thank you!

Certainly got a kick out of this one...and I bet the person you wrote about got a "kick" of a different kind, or should have. LOL. Greatest last line. Nice job and hopefully cathartic for the author.

Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
I found this very amusing, intelligent and funny. Its as if the star system has no value anymore and anything other than six is an insult. I have seen some honkers on here in the past year. well done this is funny and very clever. Kindest regards Meia x

Comment from royowen
A great observation of revenge reviewing, and of course nobody would ever, read too much between the lines? ...would they? Or suggest that the spacing was restful? I must admit there are some AMAZING reviewers out there! Well done. Dennis, great entry in this contest, good luck, blessings, Roy

Well done Dennia,
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was good! In fact, that was very good! What a sweet way to put a reviewer down who doesn't know his ABCs in writing and grammar. Lol, If this was true, I would loved to have been a fly on the wall and watched his face. Very well written and a superb contest entry! Good luck. :) Sandra, xx

Comment from lyenochka
Love your humor! Especially enjoyed:
"it looks like you shot the page with birdshot." and suggesting to "shake your computer" to get the commas to drop to the lower paragraphs!
One typo in "Said setences " (sentences)

Comment from RodG
Oh, you sharp-tongued purveyor of words, you! This was marvelous and so nicely disguised as candor, not revenge. I really like how you take writer apart almost seamlessly (well, not quite. There are those attractive white spaces). I am so glad you did not flay my work--at least not yet.

Comment from Fridayauthor
This is a fun topic and a fun response you've written for it!
I found the posting a joy to read although I don't suppose a true recipient of such a critique would enjoy it.
I especially like the reference to "white space" being the highlight of the piece.
Great job and good luck!

Comment from apky
This is excellent, Deniz.
It was a joy to read, all the "niceness" that come down with a wham! on the last two sentences. But my absolute favourite para was this:
You may have raised the art of reading between the lines to a whole new level, where the reader's imagination is fully engaged in ascertaining exactly what you are talking about in your run-on-sentences. Said setences are useful however, for dividing the restful white spaces.
