Rants: The Things That Piss Me Off On Wattpad

People Who Don't Do Their End

I'm not sure how many people know, but I have my own cover shop on here. And the payment for a cover is simple, three feedback comments (one per chapter) on a story book, or you can do one feedback comment and a follow. (And tbh, I'd rather have people do the first. Just did this second option since I know many people don't want to write 3 comments. 😕)

Simple, right?

I thought it'd be simple enough for people to understand too.

But they skip over the feedback part.

With the first two people who requested, I let it slide since I wasn't clear on instructions, but now people are STILL doing it even after I made myself clear it has to be feedback!

Comments are nice and all, but I know my works aren't 100% good. There are errors in there I don't see myself. Having people leave feedback comments helps me to know strongpoints and the weak points in my book.

Like the other day, one girl (who was just reading) pointed out in Colliding Elements's second chapter that Hunter made a comment about her grandparents when she earlier lied about only remember her name.

This is the type of comments and feedback I love!

Now that I know this problem in my story, I know I can go about fixing this in a few ways!

But then I get "feedback" comments like this:

"I'm a ____ too!"

"Same"

"This is interesting."

THOSE ARE NOT FEEDBACK COMMENTS.

Learn the difference!

I'm making you a pretty cover for simple feedback, and you're just being lazy and calling those comments above feedback?

Here's a definition of the term: a reaction or response to a particular process or activity

Good feedback on Wattpad is generally two sentences. Not a one liner consisting of one to three words.

This is similar to the critique for critique chapter.

DO YOUR END OF THE DEAL TOO.
