a) if the fic is inherently a gift, then it doesn't really lose that charecteristic because it's posted elsewhere, it's always a gift fic. it's an arbitrary date that it gets posted elsewhere. what about authors who don't repost? i've nearly done that myself until i was reminded like 3 times to repost my springsmut fic to my LJ.
b) as i've mentioned to bethbethbeth below, "your story sucks" wouldn't ever qualify as concrit in my book. that's never an appropriate comment to say to anyone - author, recipient, mod or innocentbystander.
that's my take on it atleast. i don't buy into the whole fics are "sacred gifts" like the ones you exchange with family members/friends/co-workers etc. -shrugs- a fic is a fic is a fic to me :)
