The Shadow:(a.k.a. Lurky McLurkerson)Like the worshipper, you love reading and may read every story written by your favorite author. Unlike the worshipper, your favorite author probably has no idea who you are or that you like her stuff. You read without sending feedback - maybe because you're shy, don't know what to say, feel like you're not good enough with words to get your message across, or assume that the writer gets plenty of feedback from other readers. But you know what they say about people who assume, right? Here's a tip: always give feedback to an author whose story you have read and enjoyed. Even a simple one-liner is better than nothing at all. Writers love feedback!!
I guess that fits me. I do give feedback, but not all the time. I'm more likely to comment after a couple of updates on a story and see where it's going.

^ No one can give feedback too much - trust me, it's never annoying! Well, unless it's from the kind of people who only like to nitpick and have that "do it my way" air about them. But I don't think any of those people are still reading my stories, so I don't have that issue right now LOL.
And Jenn, it's okay if you just send feedback after every few chapters. The true Shadow just doesn't send it at all... and then they list your story as a favorite on AbsoluteChaos or join your Yahoo Group, and you're like, "... you read my story? Since when??" LOL

I admit I got a shadow/lurker. I do give feedback sometimes, if I really have something to say, otherwise I don't really give feedback. I mostly don't know what to say.

I LOVE giving feedback, I always have, I guess that's why I give it so much. Especially on 00Carter. There's just SO MUCH to talk about in that story, I love it.

I think having this forum makes it easier to give feedback too... well, at least if we're giving feedback to each other LOL. It's easier to just post a message here than to email. I've noticed I get much less feedback emailed to me after I update since I started the forum, but that's okay because now I've got threads of conversation about my stories to look back on. It's a nice trade-off!

I remember I e-mailed you once about some feedback. I got like a little reply of you thanking me, I still have it actually. lol Now that I have the fourm, I can give it as much as I like. It's easier, and more fun that way in my opinion.

Yeah, I think I gave you a little feedback through e-mail, Julie. That may have been around the time when you were helping me with my site... I'm not sure...

Hm, I'm trying to figure out if what I got was bad or not.
The Critic: (a.k.a. Fiction Snob)
You enjoy reading, but can't help but critique every story you do read, whether it be mentally or in an actual review to the author. Nothing is ever good enough for you, and you may complain often about the lack of quality stories out there or just simply give up on searching for them altogether. You are good about giving feedback on what you do read, and a positive comment from you means the world to an author who knows how hard you are to please.

^ LOL don't worry, that's what I got too. There's good things and bad things about all of them. They're obviously exaggerated too, so no worries. Your BMS feedback wasn't critical; it was really flattering. ;D
