Why is it that this post makes me wanna ask my friends what color their underwear is? *g*

Ok, guys. Apparently there is a virus running rampant in our fandoms again -- nocommentitis. Characterized by reading lots of fanfic and leaving feedback on none. I admit, I am guilty, especially lately, on not leaving feedback like I should, especially on some of you guys that are close on my flist (and doubly especially if I beta it, either off-site or in the OWL vQ). But one of my resolutions is to get better at it. There is a discussion going on here about this, but apparently there is a need to resurrect these yet again:

Feedback is wonderful, guys, and it's the only pay fanfic authors get. Even if it's just a thanks! or a smiley, it's nice to know that someone has read our work.

That said, I have crack!fic scheduled to hit later tonight, but in the meantime, how about humourous smut written by the fantabulous

irisgirl12000? The Splinching of Severus Snape

Awwww... you tell em, girl.

♥ You pimped me!

I tried that color-thingy earlier, out of curiosity, and you know what I got for 'none'? Klan white. It's true, that area hasn't seen sunshine in a while, but 'Klan'?

Really? That's really strange then! b/c I put "none" and got "spank me pink"! Ah, so apparently there is no rhyme or reason to how the colors match up then... that's kinda good to know. :P Someone else got Klan white as well, but I don't remember who... I found it. But she had pink underwear. *g*

And of course I pimped you! I really really liked your splinch-smut!! Can't wait for the sequel...

Pink today, oddly enough. I also have Red, blue, grey, black, white, purple and striped. Almost all of my undewear has some character on it... my purple pair has oscar the grouch. :) This pair is Hello Kitty--Kahlan picked it out.

I almost always leave feedback, the only time I don't is when it's the "if you don't have anything nice to say..." type. Though, I admit, when I beta something, I figure I've already left feedback.

I need sleep. Love ya, hun.

pink hello kitty underwear *g*

Tell the kiddos I said hi & give them hugs for me.

Love ya too -- get some sleep!

I said I NEED sleep, not that I was getting any any time soon. And I will, but they're sleeping now.

I know that feeling. I wish I had a time turner so I could maybe get some sleep in once in a while...

Sadly, I was once one of those lazy people. *is ashamed*
My excuse, though, it's that it was on my days in ff.net, and well, lets accept it, feedback is never really good in there.

Good thing is, I've improved a lot in that aspect. I've been leaving feedback for practically every story I read, since well, I'm a review whore too and it's only fair people I admire get to know that too.

Thanks for bringing this up, btw. :)

*is more ashamed*

I didn't leave you feedback on half your drabbles after I beta'd them. And I haven't read the first one of your

blanketforts pieces. I'm kinda waiting for them to accumulate & then I'll read them all together, but still. I feel bad. :(

Oh don't, You did say you liked them, and your help was a lot already. :)

I won't lie, as I want every single person in this world to read my fic (as every author does), but if you don't have time I undertand it, and nobody's forcing you.

But hey, whatever happened to your time off?

I will read yours, as soon as I mark a couple more things off my to-do list. And I'll be lucky enough to read several of them at once & really enjoy the

nekare goodness!

And my time off? Yeah, what did happen to that? *g* I think when my life goes to hell I seek solace in the fandoms.

Argh, Nekare goodness. That just makes me smile so, so very much :)

Ah, we all do. Fandom is a release, after all.

Aw, you're so right! *Hugs*

*hugs*

I still haven't read your stuff! I feel like a really bad friend! I'm going to end up printing it out and taking it to work with me in order to read it b/c there are too many distractions if I try to read it online. :(

Don't worry so much about it! I understand how busy a life can get, I am getting so extremelly busy myself! :) Just read it whenever you have time only if you want to. There is no rush or pressure. :)

I would totally be leaving feedback if I were reading fic. I've read an amazingly small amount of fic since Xmas, but I babbled on about that already so I'll stop.

How goes Draco/Potty?

Draco/Potty isn't going anywhere ATM but I'll get to it as soon as finish the pile of beta stuff I'm working on. I'm sorry! :( I totally lose at authoring this weekend!

No no no it's all good. I was just curious dearie.

Well, even if you lose at authoring, you win at making me laugh, because I swear everytime I think about that fic I just bust up laughing like a psycho.

i have one more thing to beta and then I'll do it. *g* and I want to steal your icon when I post it...

Absolutely dearie. That's why I made it! *g*

OMG, I'm pimped again!!! *cheers!*

I love the smileys. I'm collecting them. I have a whole shoebox full. I print them out, and then cut them with pretty scrapbooking scissors and put them in the decorated shoebox.

Paper's expensive, though.

;^P

I'll send you some pretty paper and some sheets of smiley stickers... *g*

I personally think that you leave great feedback! ^__^ But you're right, lovie...feedback is very important. :)

thank you! I owe you feedback, b/c I recced your most recent story w/o reading it first, but I'm still wading through comments I need to reply to! :( I'll get to it before the end of the night though! *hugs*

(hmm... I need a Narnia icon...)

undies: I wear my hubby's y-fronts nowadays... they're comfy and slip just right under my pregnant belly! *laughs* (there are very few pair of panties that fit me anymore right now *sniffle* and you can only wear thongs so often ;)

commenting: I still do - I just don't get to read as much as I used to *sniff*

are you trying to play catch up on your flist? good luck with that...

I remember those days only too well. *g*

commenting: I still do - I just don't get to read as much as I used to *sniff*

I'm sorry! I know it sucks to not have time to read as much as you want. Or write. Or at least have some "Me Time" in fandom, away from RL. *big hugs*

attempting... and failing miserably, but still plugging away *chuckle*

Yeah - you'd think being stuck on bedrest would mean I had more time to do this stuff *laughs* - I don't know what happened, I think there's a time-sucker monseter moved in.
