I don't know...I've certainly gone on story binges and read a great many in the span of a few short bleary-eyed days. And I'm sure there are other story whores floating around this site somewhere. I hear it's like crack. *whistles innocently*

But at the same time, if a story either isn't very good or just not my thing then I simply move on. I usually only take the time to review those that I feel are notably well above average or that really affected me in some way. Some of that is just laziness on my part , but a lot is not sayin nuthin when I got nuthin nice to say. Possibly the bias toward good reviews is based on a lot of other people feeling the same way.

Now don't anyone get offended if you haven't gotten a review from me. I don't read a lot of stories these days and I filter them down pretty thoroughly when I do. I probably just haven't read any of yours...yeah, that's it!
