Review

A review is a form of feedback to tell an author what is thought of their work, and offer opinions of the story and the skill of the writing. These are usually written and can be found in newspapers, magazines, and on booksleeves.

In fanfiction, fanfic writers often ask for reviews, but what they actually want, in most cases, is praise, and will not accept anything but the highest form of flattery. In these cases, constructive criticism is usually not wanted but often really needed.
