Annoying reviews

[rach]

I'm always so wary of giving reviews other than that's good as it seems to presume a knowledge I'm not sure I have. I do write, but not BDSM and I don't know if people would appreciate reviews.

Rach, as a feedback whore, I really, really appreciate reviews. But what helps me more is constructive criticism--I get better as a writer when I learn about my strengths and weaknesses. I'm very grateful to several of the authors on this site who have sent me emails with feedback and suggestions.

I can only second Euryleia there. I'd never object to a "nicely done", but it's people pointing out mistakes and ways to put something better who help improve my writing, no matter if it's a bdsm fic or a classic short story. This needn't always be a complete analysis of what went wrong. If I'd get three reviews in a row telling me "there's something off in the middle of the story, but I can't really name it", I might be able to spot it myself.
