well, I had to pop in for my two cents, I cruised some holiday fics, and was surprised at the first quite critcal comments, mostly because they began with this didn't work and this didn't etc. It may be because the postings are anon, people feel they have the freedom to say what they want, as opposed to say, seeing a BNF name on a fic, I rarely leave negative feedback, I usually post what I enjoyed about it, and if I have a question about something that didn't scan for me, I ask it.

If the author has chosen to write a bottom Harry or rentboy Draco or what have you, it doesn't matter to me, I take each fic as a new expereince, I don't intend to make a story conform to my desires, hell, I've found my favorite fics by reading pairings and sceanrios that I didn't think would appeal, it's up to the author, as always to make it work. Sorry for the long bather.
