A random question:

[starrylizard]

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the etiquette is for fanfiction.net as far as commenting goes. Do people usually respond to reviews they get over there?

It's just I've previously only ever put things up in my journal and it seems to be the norm to thank people for commenting and I like to do that. It gives me a fuzzy feeling and sometimes I even meet new people that way. On FF.net though, the replies are private, so I'm less sure. I've only been sending replies to those people who leave direct questions or more detailed commentary. What are other people doing?

I'm a little confused and slightly perplexed by this.

*blinks and wonders how long I've been on your f-list*
I just clicked the button, so you can get annoyed by my whiny personal junk too. Enjoy. :D

*grins* I have no idea. I might have met you at a meme thing I did a while back or I might have just stumbled upon your work and wanted to read more so in order to not loose your name I might have friended you. Either way it seems to have worked brilliantly for me. *smiles*

Whiney personal junk is half the fun of lj, the other half being mostly replying to other people's whiny personal junk. Fangirl-ish tendencies are also half . . . which leaves us with about a half too much mathematically . . . which is why I don't put too much stock in the subject. *grins*

Unspoken rules make my head hurt, plus I’ve been (still am) there, thus am very sympathetic to your plight.

Anyways, your work rocks so any minor faux pas would be forgiven, no worries. *grins* *glomps* *waves*

Hehe! Maths, what's that?
Compliments will get you a long way. I'm very easy to flatter and very hard to upset, and fangirlishness is what I'm all about on LJ. *glomps you back* *grins*
