[Admin Post] On Critiquing
Okay, I'll be honest, most of my responses to fics thus far have been based solely on the idea of giving encouragement, not critique. I've been in lots of communities where critiques can be a touchy subject. I know we all write for different reasons, and a person who writes just for the "fun" (or whatever) of it may not be inclined to want an actual critique of their work as much as someone who takes this even a bit seriously. Whatever reason you're here, that's fine. But I would just like to suggest, for those of us who wish for critiques on our work, it might be a good idea to mention that amongst the summary when posting your fic. Critiques also won't be mandatory for readers; if all you can come up with is 'good fic' then that's fine too :P And asking for a critique, as I'm sure everyone knows anyway, isn't the same thing as the author saying "Flame me!"

Thanks everyone for making this a great community so far.

love,
