Prety much everything I would have said has been said at some point, but this caught my attention...
The other thing I want to say, and I know I will be jumped on for this , is that, increasingly, comments on fanfics have become "gushes" and "kudos" only. I perceive a chill on real discussion (pros and cons) of the ideas contained within the fanfic as well as on other aspects of a story.
My only thought was, RL, anyone? I don't know about everyone else, but 2006 completely turned me into a gusher! I used to not like giving feedback unless I could make some specific comments, but now I'm just brain-dead at the end of the day. I haven't noticed if there's an increase or not, but I am starting to notice the token people that I can always count on to write some interesting detailed feedback...
