Atleast once a week, starts by checking for new ones...
I like rereading mine, gives me a little boost.

Yep, I do the same. It makes me very happy
Also, positive reviews (when people are specific and not just - OMG! That was great!) help me to see what people are taking out of the story. So in the next chapter, I go a bit further with that. Reviews even give me new ideas sometimes, or provide a new perspective I didn't even consiter when writing.  _________________ -The Queen of Everything - so dubed by Aerin

What’s a review? (kidding)
I will sometimes re-read my reviews, but usually I would only look at them around the time they are posted, if that makes sense. I check often for new ones, and sometimes if I get a really good one, I will read it a couple of times and grin a lot, but most times I won’t go back and look at old ones a long time after they’ve been left.
Exceptions though are times like now when I’m thinking about rewriting most of my stories, and have already pulled a couple to go work on. I read the reviews again to see what I did right, so therefore what could be salvaged from the story. I’ll also re-read reviews if they leave suggestions or are negative (in a constructive way) as I like to take a couple of goes at reading it, so I am sure of what the reviewer meant.
I like the reviews that go more in-depth as well, as it’s really interesting to see how people take certain scenes or bits of dialogue in stories. I’ve pulled it to rewrite but I had a story once where I had about three or four reviews, all commenting on a particular conversation Elrond had, (which could have been taken as mildly rude ) and each person interpreted it in a different way, which was cool. _________________ Pervy Nazgul Fancier and owner of Fluffy the Fell Beast |

| I re-read mine sometimes. It's a nice boost when I'm stuck and my reviewers give me some perspectives on the story that I hadn't thought of before. |

I re-read occasionally. If I need motivation to update, or I want hints on what people like. I do tend to update the more frequently reviewed stories more regularly.
Also some reviews have helpful comments or tips that the more I remember the better really!  |

Inspiration and a boost:)
I do so occasionally, but mostly when there has been a particularly troublesome or shining bit that needs my attention either to follow up or rewrite. _________________ Suffering an again off again connection with life...
