How not to leave a review...

Spotted on a story on Teaspoon:

Comments

...Wow.

And not in a good way.

[wendymr]

Exactly!

I really don't have an icon to do this justice, but, just oh dear, oh dear, oh dear....

[wendymr]

I've got a few! And, yes, oh dear...

[joking]

In my experience, this kind of review-begging isn't even necessary. I look at the Teaspoon profiles of each and every person who leaves me a review.

[wendymr]

Wow, that's dedicated of you! I confess I don't do that, though if someone's made a particularly thoughtful or interesting comment and I don't recognise the nick I might do.

[joking]

I think of it as a way of meeting people. I may not enjoy the fic of every person who reviews, but I'm getting to know a little more of the fandom every day :)

[kerravonsen]

Oh dear.
I suspect that the author is best off simply not responding to that, though a bunch of snarky replies do spring to mind:
"No, dear, leaving a (two-word) review is not sufficient bribe for me to check out your stories."

[wendymr]

LOL! Yes, definitely not worth a response, IMO - there's just no point inviting wank, particularly not when someone's actually taken the time to leave a comment on one's fic (even despite the shameless plug).

Oh my stars. Quick - someone send that person a etiquette guide!

Or is that too subtle?

[wendymr]

Probably :/
