I don't generally object to public reviews. In fact, I'm a big fan of oulangi's reviews, and there was a big kerfuffle over them.

I do, however, think it's in poor taste to leave negative reviews of fics written for a gift exchange fest, and particularly where it underscores the spirit of the fest in and of itself. I can see it being a different story once the fest was over, authors were revealed, and stories were being posted in comms or the authors' LJ.

Frankly speaking, I thought what you said about some of the stories were unfair, especially when you hadn't read some of them to completion.
