Let the mocking commence!

Okay, I have finally started responding to comments on fic, even though I have something like a six-story backlog. ETA: Okay, closer to ten. *cries* (I know, I know. I am so sorry.) So if you receive a response from me and you're like, "Um, I don't even remember reading this!" well, uh. We can all pretend that LJ was just really slow in getting the comment to you (I like this plan!) or you can remind yourself that when I'm not writing fic, I spend my free time rescuing BLIND, IMPOVERISHED PUPPIES and that's why I'm so slow. No--really!

Okay, I just suck. So officially, this is the post where you can mock me. (Er, mock, not flame. I'm very sensitive. It's prolonged exposure to the puppies.) Or suggest fic comment-response techniques! (Tip #1--actually do it.) No, seriously, like ways to respond without sounding like Jennifer Garner's iTunes playlist. ("Thank you very much! I'm really glad you liked it!"*) Or just, y'know, pose questions about the nature of my parentage and the like. Whatever. ;-)

So, mock away! And yeah, I totally feel like I should link to this post in every comment I leave from now on...

*My sincerest apologies to anyone who has or will receive this exact response. I've mentioned that I suck, right?

Heh :) Well, sometimes I read other comments and replies, but yeah, like you said, not in a comparative way. And I'm not going to cry because she said the same thing to everyone! *g*

And I mean, if I demand lengthy response, I'll leave lengthy fb ;) Nothing quite promotes discussion like actually sayin' stuff.

Yeah, exactly. If someone writes an essay, then, yeah, you kind of have to respond decently *g* But a one or two line comment? A one line reply should be enough, most of the time.
