So a week ago I was reading a Faye/Spike CB fic that was really very good, except for the little pointless author's notes that popped up every chapter in the middle of sentences, sometimes twice. I almsot stopped reading they were getting so annoying, but the rest was good so I dogged on forward. I left for reviews for that fic, mostly complaining about how annoying the author's notes were, interspersed wiht some very honest compliments about ehr style and dialogue and characterization.

I just read a new ficlet she did, and enjoyed it, and was writing my review when I noticed the author's notes at the bottom had my name in it, and asked if this was better because there was nothing in the middle to interrupt the story flow.

I was ambivalent-- torn between sheepishness that I might have sounded bitchy and bullyish, and smirking delight that I actually got someone to stop doing that annoying thing and now I can enjoy the fic properly.

I am kind of siding on the side of self-satisfied, I admit. Thanks for the enoucragement, though. On a bad fic I don't care, but on a quality fic it just *pains* me to see it stalled by such a preventable thing.
