Reviews (not oddball this time, though)

[ladysophiekitty]

I am at heart a lurker. I read stories, I read entries, and usually unless I feel really strongly about something, I don't comment. On the occasion I have written really long thoughtful review, often times it either never gets responded to, or the response is "I'll try that thanks for the review" Yes, occasionally I'll get the long response back (and oh how I love it when I do) but those memories stay and tend to make me review less. If it's not that, it's something else: I'm too tired, I have to do something else, I get too caught up in the story, or I'm just plain lazy. 

But you know what? I might not review every single story I come across, but I want to review more. I want to be one of those faithful reviewers that you notice every time. Particularly since I have been getting so many reviews lately. 

I just wanted to say, partially because I'm more likely to do it when I have witnesses, and partially because I am up for recs, either for your own fics or for other people's. There isn't much I won't read as long as it's well written, though I prefer not to read slash (Unless it's Willow/Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or RHR/HG from Harry Potter. Even if I've read it before I'll read it again to review. I'm nice in my reviews, though I do give constructive criticism I usually manage to do it in a fairly nice way. I also fangirl a lot if I'm really enjoying something. 

So, any takers?

*glomps you*

Receiving reviews is just the most amazing thing - I am flattered and so thankful everytime someone makes that effort, and I try to review as much as possible in turn.

I also reply to every review I get - even if it takes me a while sometimes!
