Negativity makes an IMPACT! · 3:45am Jul 22nd, 2015
Notice how it takes a lot of positivity to get through a day, but a little negativity can bring down something big. It really depends what that negativity is directed at and who. A normal person would shrug that negativity off. A timid person would take that negativity as a hurtful object in their life. Same with ratings on fanfictions. If you have 10 likes but 4 dislikes, it makes an impact. Those 4 dislikes alone could wipe your story off the radar for good. It's like grades. A flawless 100% would make you amazing. Then a 10% deduction occurs and now you only have 90%. It's a good score but it could be improved upon. Then another 10% deduction occurs. 80% is a low B in school terms. Some people would consider that a bad score. Then you get a score of 70%. You can't seem to catch a break with these deductions! That's an average score. Some people would settle with average. Then Celestia behold! You got a horrible 60%. It's a passing grade but it BARELY makes it. If you ever reach 59% or lower, you're doing something wrong. You basically failed. Percentages make a huge difference! Make sure to avoid getting less than a 70% for your story's rating.
End.
Looking back at this now... I've realized that this made little to no sense.
