Creepypasta OCs Advice + Reviews

Advice For Reviewers :D

Yup. You read the title, this is some advice for reviewers.
A small note about me because I'm weird whoop; I'm short tempered and very impatient with myself, but I'm very patient towards other living things so I like to review characters and help others, hence the reason I am writing this book. I've seen some angry, rude reviewers and it just kinda set me off, so I'm going to passively aggressively write this chapter in the darkness of 3am...I said I wasn't going to do an upload spree but I couldn't resist...
Do take this in as real advice though, I do intend to be genuine and heartfelt about this too, like the other chapters I've written.

If you decide to do OC and character reviews, that's great! Get to work on it and be as patient with yourself as possible, it'll take time to get your first review done. It took me over 6 months for someone to comment on my book, so take your time and do your best. Senpai will notice you soon. XD I don't even think I'm qualified to write this chapter but it is genuine and a personal guide, so I at least hope it helps fellow reviewers. It's fun to dish out your own, fresh input on to certain subjects and it's also nice to finally free your opinion while kindly helping others. There are different types of reviewers, the empty criticism reviewers, the passive aggressive ones, the sugarcoating ones, the brutally honest but helpful ones, and just the nice ones. I didn't start taking this book seriously until about 1 month ago so I can't label myself yet, and don't be scared about looking too professional and serious, and also don't be scared to look too upbeat and passionate. It's nice to read an OC/character review book and have a nice and non-intimidating reviewer. Tbh, I'm TERRIFIED of getting my OCs reviewed because of the pent up stress and anxiety just bursting out of my face because I realized I asked to get my character reviewed and I don't even have my bio written. Then I awkwardly bail after being an overly apologetic bumbling idiot. *inhale* It's super scary to even ask for a review, so keep that in mind when reviewing others characters and OCs. Before starting reviews, I recommend getting one of your characters reviewed first. Just test the waters if you haven't already. Then start up your beautiful book!

Tips and tricks for your critiques

1. Make it clean
No, I'm not saying not to swear. Go ahead if you want, but I mean this grammar and organization wise. You don't have to be a Yale graduate with an English major to review someone's character, but at least keep your feedback organized. If you are putting your text inside the paragraphs, then at least bold it or something. It's really annoying to see someone reviewing a character and it looking like this:
So Sugarplum ran outside after hearing a gunshot hey are you going to explain why she heard that? and ran away from home because she's scared for her fricking life and should be wait is she being shot at or no? Explain please Sugarplum continued running and eventually stopped for a drink.
Please separate your text from the original form's, make it organized and neat. It looks sloppy otherwise and can just confuse the reader. I've seen actual reviews like the example, and it looks really unprofessional. If you want to put your feedback in the paragraph (not super recommended because it's hard to read) or you have to for some reason, then at least out it in italics or bold it and/or put it in brackets and space it a bit.

Ex. Sugarplum ran outside after hearing a gunshot (Hey, was she shot at or no? Hopefully you'll explain that later on.) and ran away from home because she's scared for her fricking life and should be. (Ok, I'm assuming she was but I'd like some conformation.) Sugarplum continued running and eventually stopped for a drink.

Does that look at least a bit better? Probably! See, make sure to separate your critiques from the original form. If you put it under the paragraph, then you still should bold it or put it in italics, to make it even easier to read.
