Do you find more acceptable if someone does not write a review if they have read your story/chapter/drabble but disliked very specific aspects of your writing

Now that is a problem. Because to stop bothering means to stop. And we don't want that I suppose.
I think that if you have something valuable to say, just say it. No matter that the addressee doesn't value it. Somebody else might. You are a reader and you have a right to say that some piece of work promised more that delivered and thus took your time which you could have invested into something better. Some better fic, for example. I have a problem in recent time - I would like to read some fics (except those that I am reading already). But with all ratings being between 95-100% how can I decide what to read and what to avoid? I go and look at works of my favourite authors, but they write slower than I read and I am not inclined to read rubbish just to read something.
And I think the good authors usually listen to their readers, that is the only way they could improve.
Bye the way, how are the Dragons? ;o) Both living and fictional?

Why don't I see more of your reviews then? *snicker*
Well, some recommendations then: Snape, A History is excellent and will remain so no matter what. I hope you have read Back in Black, it's a must especially for people like us, people that know. I just got into Traitor, but that one is hard to handle. WIPs that I eagerly follow and that are often updated are subversa's The Love You Take and anogete's Breathing Love. Bot these girls write their own specific Severus that I enjoy. Have you read A Walking Shadow? I skimmed it long time ago, but now that No Loyalty in the Moonlight has a break, I'm getting tempted again.

Ehm... forgot...
To the people which are close to me I am caring and generous realist. To mankind in general and some groups of people in particular (politicians, for example) I am nothing that cynical pessimist, or pessimistic cynic. And so often I am just naive...

Grrr... forgot too...
The Dragons are sailing in the bathtub. The other Dragons are hibernating. But who knows? I will travel like crazy this and next week again, so perhaps, those last three scenes might get done. It's a shame how long it takes me, isn't it? It should be better once I get rid of those pills and get my emotions back. It is hard to write if there is no soul to pour to the words.
Welcome in real life !
(Did I ever mention that I am a naive cynical pessimist?)

But you might be right. Why bother. Why bother at all.

Any suggestions yourself?
