i don't know...personally, though encouragement is nice, constructive critisism is MUCH more helpful to a lazy ass like me, who needs a kick in the pants to even sart writing. and once i do, it sucks, because i don't spend enough time.
so to get back to my point, critisism to me is better beacuse if it is worded right, oyu know what to work on as well as what to take out - plus, it helps to know that someone who thinks about the story is reading it.
but hey, i'm the one who doesn't like reviewing - again, too lazy.
someone, kick me, please!

oh and sorry we happen to be off topic but come on how often does the keeks get a compliment? I deem this being off topic allowed! |
OK, Keeks, for another compliment; you do write very encouraging reviews  (just found one of yours on one of my stories, so thanks!). That goes to show also though, that reviews don't just help a writer to tighten their prose or whatever, but they're also a good source of inspiration. Like just now, I'm debating whether I should eventually write a sequel to one of my fics, and I've been re-reading a lot of reviews on the original not just to see what people said, but it's also a confidence booster.

Weee, another compliment!
I do belive what viv said is pretty close to my thoughts, I like to review those who review me. Not only do I get to see what the people write who have reviewed me, I get to know that I am enjoying something they wrote, and I hope that likewise they enjoyed mine. Does that make sense? It is getting late here.
and Jess, am just about to review your latest chappie am enthralled!

| I try to make it a rule that any time I read something I review it. sometimes I will rate it as well, depending on how strong an impression(good or bad) it made. |
