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?

then I close it with "I'm so glad it worked for you. *g*"

Ooh, good one! *adds to own lame arsenal*

Yeah, it's hard. I mean, if someone says, "I really loved the part where x," is it okay to say, "Yes, that was my favorite part, too"? Or is that BRAGGING? Wouldn't want to brag. So I usually go with, "Yes, I enjoyed writing that part." Yes, as opposed to all the other parts, which I HATED. *sigh*

Um, is this where I confess I've been really, really bad at feedbacking your wonderful stuff? *is teh suck*

No, it's okay! I'm not as good about that as I ought to be. Sometimes I try to give myself a pass, like on older stories that I read months after they were written or "before I was in fandom," but I still feel bad about it. Like, have I ever told you how much I love "Gifts Unasked For"? Because I really, really do. It sets the bar for threesome stories, as far as I'm concerned.
