Don't know how you could get booted for an opinion or comment, as long as it wasn't profanity-laden. The look on your chosen illustration's face says it all - true bafflement at the surrounding world.

Nice and funny poem I'm guessing about the Fanstory voting committee. No you won't get booted for this. It is not against the ruled to question them or write about. You should check out what is written in forums.

The "FanStory" boffins Love 'boffins'
Have their "on-ins" and "off-ins"
They think our reviews
Could do with more 'news'
There's got to be 'flow'
Or we're not 'in the know'
Sometimes we don't go
Far enough.

The above states the 'current state of affairs' for reviewers such as I. However, I try to avoid criticizing style and concentrate on the composition of a piece by offering a correction under the title CONSIDER.

Regards:

Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

The rules, feeling standard-status of Fan Story owners who decide the stand of reviews are hinted of and how authors at FANSTORY fail to come to the expectation of the administrators, feeling well exposed. 10/814

The message caught my attention, yes, sometimes FanStory boffins use a yardstick to measure our skills, according to their own subjective standards. And sometimes, it is discouraging rather than encouraging us to do better. Thanks for bringing up the issue. God bless.

Hahahaha. The author said it very well. Most of them take it personal rather than growing from it. Thank you very much.
My best part, "There's got to be 'flow'
Or we're not 'in the know'
Sometimes we don't go
Far enough."

This is an interesting poem from the author and a cunning play on words. The writer has connected with this reader, and I agree that there plenty of people with their opinions on everything that is written here. If I listened to it all, I would be continually changing my stories. I do however listen to constructive criticism and change what blatantly needs to be changed.
