Well, about this whole C&C to the list thing.
I must admit, said he feeling slightly guilty, that I don't
C&C to the list that often. Except in cases like Converging
Series, I usually send my comments to the author.
There's a good reason for this: for the most part, almost
all of my C&C is "I loved this fic, here's some thoughts",
followed by observations rather than actual criticism. I
don't send C&C for fics I don't like, mostly because I rarely
finish them. Therefore, posting all my jolly, happy stuff
to the FFML might make me seem a little overly positive, which
is an impression I give enough in rec.arts.drwho, I don't
need it here.
I do give a *lot* of private C&C, though, and am on several
prereader lists, as well as being Fred Herriot's personal
sounding board (which may or may not be a good thing.)
In the end, C&C is great whether it's private or not. Give
and ye shall receive.
