Chocolate milkshakes are good but don't have the raspberry one if Nick gives it to you. I will never take food from that boy. No way!

LOL!  Don't eat his muffins either.

Holy smokes it took me forever to go through this thread. By the time I answer I get left behind in the convo lol. But I enjoy reading your conversations.

Reviews- I tend to have big gaps where I don't go online or my iPod doesn't want to work. So if I can't respond to a review I always thank my readers for their feedback in the notes and explain why I can't respond. I think they knew I appreciated and didn't do it on purpose cause they stuck around. I have stopped reviewing and reading some stories cause I've noticed the selective responses.

Fanfic pet peeves- Walls of text, girl meets BSB at a concert and immediately fall in love plot, overly descriptive stories, would this fall into fanfic pet peeves...when an author brags about how great they are and then you read their story and it's disappointing.

Gotta go back and see the rest of the questions.

Oh and authors I wish would come back are Alota_cookin, Honey and Filiklepto.

Critical things I do- I have issues with comas  :shrug:, I write mostly AU, I make banners, I write about odd things...

Still thinking of a FF pet peeve I'm sure people can have with my stories.

Oh, I tend to sometimes live too much in the character's head, in 1st or 3rd person. So at times I may go and let them ramble in their heads a little too much with no purpose to it. Just because I'm writing and I'm letting them think and yeah.

Another would probably be that I have absolutely no problems killing people lol. I'm sure some would find my stories a bit too gore filled at times.

I do that too Rose, especially in first person. I think Jack in Sinister Devotion tended to rant a bit too much.

That's a pet peeve of mine too.  It's great to be proud of your work, but don't brag about it... and if you are gonna brag, then it better be good! LOL  Bragging is something that tends to turn me off to an author/story, more than attract me to it, though.

I agree about the bragging as well, it is a turn off.

Wow, pages and pages to catch up on again.

Things I do which could be other people's peeves...I've used my own name in stories in the past (we all did over on the site I used to go on), probably not descriptive enough at times, sometimes don't update enough, and I'm sure there are loads more faults.

Writers I'd like to see back are Honey and Filiklepto as I love their stories.

My biggest writing peeves are walls of text, bad spelling and presentation.

Can't remember what other questions were asked.

Yes! LOL. Sometimes people go on and on about how great their story is, or how many reviews they get. And all it does is make me want to not read. Or people who mention their story all the freaking time. Big turn off.

I have been kinda bad about that on Twitter lately, blabbing about what I'm writing and posting dumb lines from my stories that I'm proud of. lol maybe that's the thing I do that annoys other people? Ah well.

Most of the authors I really liked are still writing. I do wish Dani would come back and finish Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon, though.

There's too much for me to catch up on.

To wrap up the last 48 hours worth of posts I just skimmed though...

A lot of your guys' stuff I have read and never reviewed and if you've left me one I likely haven't noticed it yet to reply because I hate getting email notifications about things. LOL  :hidesface:

Ah yes I hate email notifications too I only notice if I get reviews on new stuff because I'll look for it. But if someone reviews something of mine that's old chances are I won't notice for a little while lol

It's been so long since I last posted anything that I don't remember what I normally do lol

I know I was checking H&H when I knew Ritz was reading for the summer challenge because I did want to respond to her reviews. Speaking of which I still have to finish that...
