Has anyone noticed a reduction in feedback since the Great Feedback War of Aught-Three started?

I haven't put up anything new since early December so I can't tell the difference.

I feel bad now. There are at least 4 writers I said "Oh, one of these days I should tell her I liked that," And I didn't do it, because I felt like a dork and who cares what I think? but maybe I should've said it anyway?

Hell yes.

Some of us have fragile little pointy skulls and thrive on feedback.

Erika, feedback is the best gift you can give a writer. And the best way of ensuring he or she continues to write.

OK, I promise. Now, I write anyway, but I realize everybody's not insane...um, I mean, like me.I may look around and try to find the ficcers I stiffed, over the weekend.

Okay, so I signed up for this remix challenge and I got my author. It's an author I'm not familiar with. I've started reading their fic and I have no idea what the hell I was thinking in signing up. Not because they're not a good writer or whatever but because I can't think of a way to rewrite any of these that's remotely interesting or cool.

I might take you up on that. First, I need to reread these stories 20 times each.

Are they good enough to warrant such close scrutiny?
