valis2I was thinking about that today as I was leaving a comment. I realized that after two years of having a LJ I've begun to review with a system. I'm like that, of course, because I like to break everything down into categories and organize things.
If I didn't like a story---if I skimmed it and didn't finish it---I don't leave feedback. Sometimes when I see a story like that, I'll keep a tab open with the story in it, and wander back to check on it later to see if anyone else says anything. Sometimes those stories never get more than a comment or two, despite being in active comms, so I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who does this.
If I liked a story, but not a lot, and it had a few problems, but I am wary of getting into it with the author, I usually leave a comment that I enjoyed it, or I thank them for sharing the story.
If I liked a story, but not a lot, and it had a few problems, and the author seems to want concrit, then I'll leave a few thoughts, and make certain to add at least one strength I found in the story.
If I liked a story, I usually leave a comment that says something to the tune of "I enjoyed this". Sometimes I'll add something positive about the story.
If I really liked it, I usually try to leave a sentence or two about what strengths the story had, and how much I enjoyed it.
If I loved it, I usually quote a line that I loved and mention how much I enjoyed it. I also tend to get to glow a bit and add a few exclamation points.
Do you have a system of feedback?

Date: 2006-04-06 04:52 pm (UTC)Yes, exactly! I do leave one-liners, absolutely, but I try to make them simple and convey how much I enjoyed it.
I write down what I liked in a story and why I liked it and I always make sure that negative feedback is accompanied by something positive.
Yes, same here! It's important to me that the author realize that I liked the story, which is why I'm reviewing, and that the concrit I'm leaving is meant to show them what I thought when I read it. If I didn't like it, I won't bother finishing it, much less leaving any sort of concrit.
Very interesting post BTW ;) I really like these kind of discussions because they work as a reminder for me to leave a review with the next fic I’m going to read!
:) I always like talking about stuff like feedback. I like hearing how other people put together their thoughts. Everyone has their own idea of how to go about it, after all.
