A Very Harsh Blow. · 5:06am Mar 4th, 2017
Hey, guys.
Raptormon132 here. And I've recently become quite saddened. Why? Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell any of you.
You see since I've become a member of FIM Fiction, I have wrote 5 stories. 5 stories that I've put my heart and soul into. I enjoy people reading them, liking them, adding them to their favorites or bookshelves, and even giving feedback on them through comments. One of them, "A Pop Star, a Princess, and a Prisoner" has become perhaps my best and most well known story, and has formed a little cult behind it. But what if someone gave harsh words and disapproval of any story you wrote? Well, that has recently happened to me.
Yesterday, I joined and submitted my stories to a story reviewers group called Blunt Reviews Group. And they gave such great harsh words, and disapproval on 2 stories I wrote.
First they did a review on my story, The Stallion in the Suit. And boy, it was very blunt. It even got it's very first dislike. It didn't effect me that much at first, and they did say it was okay, so I didn't take it badly at all. But it was when they reviewed another of my stories not long after did it intensify.
The Blunt Reviews Group just did a review on my story, Twilight’s First Gift. And boy it wasn't just blunt, it was very cold.
It was there I realized that joining that group and getting my stories reviewed by these guys was a very big mistake. If I would've known they would be like that, I never would've joined them and submitted any of my stories to them.
So I left that group, and deleted my other two stories I submitted to their folders to be reviewed. One of them being A Pop Star, a Princess, and a Prisoner. And thank god they didn't get to that one! I definitely do NOT want that one torn to shreds by those motherfuckers!

Their reviews on my stories have dealt me a mighty, painful blow to my confidence as a writer, and now I'm stricken with great hurt and doubt. So much so that people would be lucky if I ever posted another story again.
So if you're like me and you ever want your stories seen, and even reviewed, be careful who you want them to be reviewed by. Don't make the same mistake I made, and get any of your stories reviewed by the Blunt Reviews Group, because believe me: "YOU WILL REGRET IT".
Note: I posted this on the Anti-Depression Ponies group as well.

Love Silent echo.
Like Silent echo said, you're a great author and we love your stories! Becuase it's called the Blunt a Reviews Group, they do their best to leave a cold review- it's basically why the group's there. To criticize to the max. But remember, we, all of your loyal followers, are always there for you and never doubt your skill as an author. People love you and your stories, and support you. We care, and we love your stories, never forget that.

After time to think more into it, I rejoined that group, and I resubmitted A Pop Star, a Princess, and a Prisoner, and The Flaming Trash Bag to there review list. Now all I have to do is just wait, and hope for the best.
And to think it was the advice from people of the Anti-Depression Ponies group who commented on the forum I posted. I thank them for that.
4443292 hopp its gos well we are cheering for you.
Sorry to tell you that the reivew is up and after I read it I was surprised about it...
Maybe, you should take notes of these so that when your writing your next story you know what to look out for.

I just read it. And I will tell you. It was sloppy. He got so many things wrong, misunderstood things, and he didn't read it entirely, and missed out on vital information. I'm about to reply to his review.
4475347 It was sloppy... Don't let this hurt you, show them that you can get better and show them what your made of

Do tell me what you think of it.
