Questions to ponder part 11

Thought I'd change the title since we really aren't asking a question of the day anymore LOL
Here's an interesting question: As a writer, when you leave feedback do you tend to leave it from the POV of how you usually write? For instance, if you are a suspense writer and leaving a review for a sci fi writer, do you tend to ask questions about something in the story that might seem unimportant for sci fi but you catch it from your suspense eye?
When you read your reviews, do you ever notice that happening to you? Can you tell when someone outside of the genre you have written is reviewing just based on what they ask and say?

Hm... I don't know if I do this myself, but I do notice it in reviews from my readers, so I probably do. My readers who are romance fans tend to comment on the relationships between the characters, even if they haven't blossomed into a full-fledged romance, whereas the readers who don't like romance tend to ignore that part and mention other things. My medical drama lovers will comment more on that aspect of my stories.
I am probably one of the latter when I review other people's stories. I live for drama and horror and gore, so my reviews for Mare's current story are basically all, "Sorry, Creepy Tim, I love you and all, but I'm pretty sure Nick is bleeding internally and needs more than aspiri- OMG, WOLVES!!!"
