Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-07 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
If so, what do you write?

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-07 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Very rarely, but when I do it's long and embarrassingly gushing. I only write something if the story really moves me AND it's underappreciated.

If I make it all the way to the end, absolutely!

I usually leave an embarrassing display of enthusiastic joy. If I can manage coherence, I try to point out a few things I especially liked.

I always leave kudos. And if I can think of something to say besides "good story," I'll leave a review. I usually like to be specific in a review and point out specific things in the story I liked.

Rarely because I never know what to say.

yes, what I write depends on the fic.

I haven't for about a year now besides a few grossly underappreciated fics. I commented a lot couple of years ago. Idk why is that. I think it's linked to generally feeling like a failure. It somehow feels like a comunication and too much effort, and I also don't have much to tell the authors.

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-07 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I usually just kudos.

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-07 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! If I read it all the way to the end, I always try to leave kudos and think of something nice to say in a review. It's not always long, but I try to pick out a few things I enjoyed.

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

I try to at least leave a few words of praise even if I don't say anything specific, but sometimes a fic will move me to really go in-depth into what I loved and what worked so well. I do always kudos, though!

Oddly, it's easier for me to review art. Maybe because there's not as much to talk about? I can mention one thing that I really like about the piece (expressions, colors, poses, etc.) without having to worry to much about "missing" something.

I don't leave comments often, but I usually praise the fic with long comments on what I liked about the fic.

Yup. If i loved a happy, funny, silly, fluffy or cracky fic, I basically hop all over like a crazy kitty with catnip. Lots of !! and quoting of the fic and *hugs* and things.

If it's angsty (not my favorite) but really well written, I'll leave a calmer comment, and a little bit of how it got me emotionally.

Those fic that are really odd, out there, different, told in an off the wall voice or something, I'll generally quote the parts I found really beautiful or affecting.

Only if I can think of something to say. I know, I've read all the posts from fanfic writers about how much they love any comments at all, even just "<3", but I can't do it, I just can't.

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-08 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I dont usually leave anything but kudos, but on the rare occasion I leave a comment its always positive and either says something like OMG THIS WAS FANTASTIC THANKS SO MUCH FOR WRITING IT or I ask a question about the story.

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-08 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
If I enjoyed it, I always leave a review. I usually mention one or two specifics that I liked and tell them I'll be looking forward to the next chapter, or to reading more of their work.

I virtually always leave a review if I leave kudos. (Which means most things that I actually finish reading.) I'm not particularly eloquent or wordy when reviewing though. It's more "I really liked this, especially _'s characterization."

Re: Do you leave reviews on fics?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
I have literally like over two hundred fics I have saved that I intend to review, even if it's only a 'this is really great' type thing. Problem is that the more I like something the better review I want to give it, and my anxiety kinda forces me to file it away for later;;...and to make it worse I'm actually likely to abandon reading something if I'm acknowledged by the author, or I get embarrassed by something I wrote, because apparently I'm an idiot who can't deal with shit. (I have been getting better though!!)

Lately I've been giving rather generic reviews to a few things just to get back into the groove of reviewing, but there are a few fics that I leave a doc open to make notes in as I read just so I don't miss anything. So it varies;;

I usually do, only because I don't read much fic nowadays. It's usually something to highlight what I loved about the story.
