Tout pareil ! Sérieusement, écrire quelques lignes de commentaire prend plus de temps que lire la fic/le chapitre (sauf peut-être si le texte est vraiment long, mais ce n'est même pas sûr), et le résultat est affligeant de banalité. C'est affreux. Surtout quand c'est une fic qu'on adore. Un chef-d'oeuvre mérite mieux que des petits coeurs et des "Iii !" mêlés à des remarques passe-partout sur le style et la caractérisation.

C'est agaçant. Pour certaines fics, un "j'ai beaucoup aimé, merci" ou une variation ne me dérange pas trop. C'est un peu... peu au regard du temps/investissement/etc. de l'auteur, mais je me console en me disant que dans la situation inverse, je préfère un "j'ai beaucoup aimé, merci" que rien du tout.

Mais quand il s'agit de quelque chose qui a retenu mon attention plus que la moyenne pour une raison ou une autre, j'aimerais bien être capable de dire pourquoi, et si possible sans verser dans les lieux-communs :(

It can be so frustrating to leave feedback! But I think people enjoy getting it no matter what it is, little platitudes or whatever. :)

I agree, it's just that I have... double standards, I guess :-p When I'm on the receiving end, I enjoy detailed feedback, of course, but any comment makes me happy anyway. But as a reader, it is indeed frustrating. I probably need to relax and take it a bit less to heart ;)

I totally get you. Sometimes it feels like the quiz at the end of the story that i can't answer properly. and when I really really want to give something good back, it's even worse bc it takes part of the enjoyment of the story away when I'm left feeling pressured to instantly discet what I LIKED ABOUT IT BEFORE i can digest it. But if i WAIT, THERE'S NO CHANCE i;LL GET BACK AND LEAVE THE fb the story deserved.sigh.
(sorry re typing)

Ooh, no way I leave anything but a basic comment right after reading a story. I need a while to process. So yes, I definitely share the need for digestion time ;)

At least, I don't have that problem since I don't read so many fics and I either remember them or bookmark them to come back later. It's really the fact that I suck - always have sucked - at analyzing why I like something. Then there's the interpretation issue: what if I don't properly get what the author meant? *gasps* And the dreaded 'important stuff' issue: what if I don't pay enough attention to aspects the author especially cares about? *gasps again*

Yes, I overthink, overinvest and take my fun too seriously. I'm even aware how ridiculous it is *facepalm*
