FAQ:_____

Question: Are you an awards site?

Answer: No. We're a review site. You submit your work and we'll give you a detailed opinion. If we like what we've read, we send you a nifty banner to put on your site. This is not an award. It's like one of those certificates/stickers you get for adequate/excellent performances in grade school.

Question: What about the fics you don't like?

Answer: When that happens, there's an option of a banner that says something along the lines of "I survived 'The Unsaid Reviews' and all I got was this lousy graphic!" but...less lame. The other option is to edit the fic. We encourage having more than one beta. You may think that a person is doing his or her job, but usually, they aren't. If your beta makes a grammatical suggestion, we suggest using it. Looking it up and making sure your beta isn't a moron is also a good idea.

Question: Can you really say whatever you want to about a fic?

Answer: Yes and no. We won't go out of the way to insult you at every turn, but we aren't going to sugarcoat everything for you. If you don't think you can handle what we might say, don't submit a fic. This has caused a problem for some people since they live on the ass-kissing side of the spectrum. Don't bring that here.

Question: I'm a little unsure about the fic I'm sending in. Should I send it in anyway?

Answer: Please don't. I mean that in the nicest way possible. When you do that, it's fairly clear that you want an ego boost. Do not send us your worst fic and hope for a good response. We want what you consider your best work.

Question: If this site is about reviewing fanfic, why are there essays?

Answer: We cringe to call them essays. An essay implies that what we're writing is full of facts as well as opinions and that outside sources are involved. In all actuality, we're bitching. They're rants, because the opinions expressed are strictly our own (or the guests') and are only backed by what we see with our own eyes. In other words: Don't expect literary gold.
