I hate writing shit; it is so stupid

[Herr Mullen]

Wait, you think I'm too harsh on style? Have you seen some of Marine's reviews on the DHZ? I'm not nearly that critical. You need to think more relatively.

Don't confuse your definition of style with my reviews. I don't press being critical. They ask for an honest review and I give it to them. Unlike you, however, I describe what ditters a perfect score--setting or otherwise--and give them suggestions on how to improve their prose and style.

Never try to ostricize my critique style because your trying to defend some apathetic reason behind your curt reviews.

There are some things a writer can improve that doesn't effect style. It could dillute the stories full intentions without the writer knowing it. Things like repitition of phrases, stilted dialogue, reflections of actions, are all things nuetral--not related to style. Of all people, you could merit such a lesson, but that's another story.

I only enforce setting because it builds a novel. And when I see authors trying to convey it, I give them a push of flavor they could use for their own tastes.

So don't try and interpret my critques for your short comings.

The very fact that people can mistake your honest reveiws for harshness suggests to me that you need to work on your tone; you come over as very angry a lot of the time.

There's nothing wrong with suggesting improvements, but that isn't what Wise is setting out to do here; this is a selection of his impressions. I'd say he meets his objective well. He leaves improvement up to the author; it's not his job to stuff suggestions and the like down an author's throat. You and I have made suggestions a part of our own styles. This does not mean everyone should suggest what should be done. Some reveiwers prefer to leave improvements to the imaginations of the author, and to make them think.

Also, this is very strange, by the way, so I'm enquiring; are you asking Wisemon not to compare himself to you? Are you asking him to stop looking at your style, and his style, and then look at what makes them different? And then, have you gone on to compare his style with yours? It just seems very odd; it looks like you're attacking his reveiws to say why yours are good in comparison. I'm certain this isn't what you set out to do, is it?
