Do you mean to say that we should comment on the bad
parts or that we shouldn't.  Sarcasm bounces off
of me most of the time.

Comment on the bad parts!  

"Nice story" is great for the self-esteem, but the reason people are
posting to the list is (usually) because they want to become better
writers.  A few "what are you trying to do here?" and "This makes no
sense!" type comments, with explanation, is far more helpful than glowing
praise. 

Don't think a fic or an author ever reaches a point where they're beyond
criticism, neither.

Translating-or is that transliterating?-yingyang to non-sarcasm.

BTW, now that we know RT is on the list, which fanfic do you think she's
most likely to use as the basis for the *real* ending of Ranma 1/2?  My
vote is for "Childhood's End," or maybe one o' my depraved things ^_^.
