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: 2006-04-08 03:15 am (UTC)I leave fb about 95% of tht the time.
If I can pinpoint my favorite turn of phrase I make sure to point that out. And If I can't, I usually just stick to the oohs and ahhs kinda silly but it;s the best method I've come up with.
The only times I don't fb are when either I know the person reads me and doesn't leave me fb (yes it's petty but so what?) or the author doesn't respond to fb bc I feel like they take it for granted and that's just silly when a lot of great writers are totally overlooked.
I guess our systems are similar except that I'm in no position to leave concrit so I never to unless it's like a HUGE glaring factual error.
I think I'll watch this thread to get ideas about leaving better fb.

Date: 2006-04-09 12:20 am (UTC)Sometimes I tend to review other writers who have reviewed my fic. Though not always...I can't keep track of everyone, unfortunately!
