Yeah, I'm sure! And even still, no matter how many times you warn people about that stuff, if they don't like what you have to say or in the case of awards, if you don't win. It's fixed lol Gotta love human nature sometimes.

Would you ever consider submitting one of your stories to a site for review? If yes which one would you choose & what would you hope to find out?

I've done that recently with my self-published books... surprisingly had all good reviews and I was nervous because they were pretty popular sites... ad I could see the numbers go up on the books after the reviews were posted, so people obviously listened. Doing that, I picked "Love This Pain," which I know a few on here read as a fan fiction.

Nope cause I'd be terrified of the results. Especially for something already complete.
If I was going to have anyone to an extensive analysis of one of my stories it'd be before it was "published" online so that I'd have the ability to fix things before letting the world see it. Actually I'm writing one right now where it's nearly complete and I'm sending chapters to my friend as I write them. It's good because it's given me the opportunity to go back and fix things in previous chapters to make the story more consistent, which I wouldn't have been able to do had I been posting as I went along.

I did submit Broken to a review site once back in 2004, when that was the thing to do. I don't really know why I did... I guess I was just curious to see what the feedback would be like. From what I remember, it was a pretty thorough review that commented on different aspects of the story, not just the plot, but the presentation of it too. I don't know that I really got a lot out of it, though. I'm pretty sure Broken was already finished when I submitted it, and I don't go back and change old stories. The lessons I learned from Broken are not things other people told me, but things I've realized myself in looking back at it.
I think the only reason I'd have for submitting a story for a review like that now would be if I was thinking of publishing it or if it was something I had never posted and was willing to revise based on the feedback. I don't see the point of submitting something that's already finished that I have no plans to do anything with.

I might, depending on what I planned to do with the story. Like if I wanted to convert it, then yes cause I'd want as much feedback and con-crit as possible.
