Is there any polite way to say, "This was such a good story I forgot who it was by, and when I looked afterwards I was surprised to see it was you"? {g}

Or, "This is so good, and your last few stories were so repetitive and formulaic, and I'm so pleased (and shocked) you finally broke out of that mold"?

Ah, fandom, how I love thee...

LOL! Such a familiar feeling. And I have yet to find a polite way to say it myself. :p

How about This really worked! You should step out of your comfort-zone more often - it's obviously good for you ;)

And, yes, know that feeling only too well...

*snickers* No ideas, but I love how you write it. *g*

how about "striking story. made my BR's day!" aka "takes perseverance to a whole new level"

or "your style always baffles me" (you can leave "in that story's case, trust me, it's a compliment.")

I think I'll go to bed, I'm being mean...

I don't know how to say it politely, but I definitely have wanted to say "OMG, TRY TO WRITE A DIFFERENT STORY!" or "Who are these characters?" many different times.
