Comments

[caecilia]

Personally my favorites are the ones that are like:

excerpt
Oh man! I never interpreted that character like that! That is really neat and it gives me an idea.

other excerpt
I really love the imagery here.

yet another excerpt
hahahaha

Paragraphs of gushing...man, I don't know. Keep doing what you're doing if you like it, but I'm more likely to want to talk to someone who approaches me in a more laid back way. And I love talking to people about my stories. The method I described above is a great way to get me into a conversation, and conversations sometimes lead to life-long friendship and sometimes even co-writing.

[chardmonster]

Yeah, this. I don't deal with fiction crit--it's all nonfiction on my end--but critiques that work as conversations rather than great big blocks of text seem to work better. Obviously that's not going to work unless they respond, but if they don't respond they aren't worth your time.

[perverse_idyll]

Oh yeah, I do those, too. More often, obviously, because not all fics inspire a big outburst.

*shrugs* Paragraphs of gushing have led me to two of my dearest RL friends, and my first fic in fandom was a collaboration with one of them. I also have a lot of lovely online friends who don't seem to mind the verbosity. I guess I should trust them to nudge me back over the line when I'm crossing it and not expect Fandomsecrets to reassure me or set the standard.

I was just surprised that it's considered "a bad thing and you shouldn't do it" versus a confusing and/or flattering thing. But I'll take it into account the next time I leave feedback. Which will be later today, since several fests in my fandom are posting.

[caecilia]

Yeah, keep doing it if it works for you and makes you happy and...don't run your life based on what people on FS say. We disagree with each other about everything.

[perverse_idyll]

don't run your life based on what people on FS say

Heh. Don't worry, there's absolutely no chance of that.
