A night in the life of a fanfic reader OR Why my discretion is your friend
Not that I don't often fail to comment on great fic out of sheer laziness, but I do think people who say things like "Reading a fic and not commenting is super rude!!!" really don't understand that by and large, they probably don't want to hear what I have to say about their fic. No, not if you're on my friends list, but generally speaking.

I mean, come on. "All feedback is good feedback!"? Really? I bet these (slightly disguised) comments would go over real well.


"Kind of mediocre and any two guys, but enh. It was at least the right fandom and pairing, right?"

"You're good at writing, but the story was totally pointless. I liked that one sentence, though."

"Great idea for a story, but dude. Call me in ten years when you don't write like a thirteen year old on a sugar high"

"Wait, what? I am backing away from this fic slowly. You are one sick puppy. And I do not mean that in a good way."

"Oh wait, this is a new fic? I'm sorry, I thought it was any one of the other twenty things you've already written that were just like this. Oops! My mistake."

"Terminators don't get pregnant. Unless the Blue Fairy is in town."

"So tell me. Tequila or pairing generator?"

"So. Part 143 and you still haven't figured out how to break a universe up into stories?"

"Wow. You really like shopping. So tell me, is this what's in your closet, or what you want your imaginary girlfriend to wear?"

Nah, you're sort of honorary friends-list.
