The other day you said somewhere that posting a fic as a whole gets you less reviews but it's definitely nicer for the reader. You are absolutely right there, if you had posted DSoT as chapters, once a week or once a decade, you would have gotten a review for each chapter from each person who usually reviews. I can't thank you enough for posting your stories the way you do, it's definitely nicer to get to read the whole story at once! The once a week scenario is nice too, as long as the writer sticks to the schedule, it gives you something to look forward to.
As for reviewing *squirms*. Even though I read tonnes of fics everyday (well, there's SOMETHING good about this company, after all ;), I rarely ever post comments. Either I feel stupid about posting *squeeeeeel* reviews, or there was something I didn't like about the fic and I don't know if the writer wants cotton-wrapped concrit or not. This becomes a dilemma when I liked the story but there was something I didn't like, and that changing it would make the story even better.
So, what do you prefer? No reviews (apparently not), positive reviews, or reviews in general even when they might contain concrit?
And, please *snicker* I know you are a Boyd fan (me too! me too!! Oh, I found his fansite, he's a POET! And a CARPENTER!!! *swooooooons infront of pretty carpenters*), and I know you used real Boyd pictures as part of ATBT storylines. So, is there a Boyd picture with the sarong? WANNA SEE!
