Because I know there are people who don't bother to respond to reviews until they are about to post a new chapter, then I would say yes, go for it. But if it's a habitual thing, then I would wait. But, that's what I would do though.

But I also get that the longer you wait to review, the less you might remember about what you read. That's why I  would just stop reading altogether, but again that's what I would do because that by far is my biggest fanfic pet peeve on the planet (besides banners and writers who do not bother to give feedback but complain when they don't get it lol)

--- End quote ---

Looks like the story isnt completed and there hasn't been a new chapter posted in almost two months, she has responded to a few but that is about it. I think I will go ahead and keep reading cause I know I will usually forget something espeically if I haven't read it for a long period of time.

Halfway There!

Name of story: First Impressions by Kyrie

1) Are you finding it easy to follow plot wise? Yup!

2) So far who is your favorite character and why?  I'm really enjoying AJ's character. Kyrie has gone away from the traditional AJ stereotype (the couldn't-care-less kinda bad-boy) and she has made him a little bit more sweet and sensitive. It's refreshing to see a different take on his character.

3) Are you getting a sense of how it will end and if so, any guesses? (Sometimes authors get a kick out of seeing what a reader thinks will happen and how predictable they may or may not be) At this point, I think that it's going to end badly for AJ and Kat.  :-[

4) Do you feel like the summary the author gave accurately describes the story you are reading? Would there be anything you would include or omit? The summary is good, no changes needed!

5) Has there been any big surprises/plot twists or just overall observations? Not as of yet, but I think that a twist is about to come.

These are the harder questions, but don't be afraid to answer them. Remember we all signed on to this knowing and expecting to get and give constructive criticism.

6) If this wasn't a challenge story and you didn't have to continue reading, would you have stopped already? If so please explain why. I would have kept going, but I probably would have blown through the whole thing in one shot and not left feedback after every chapter. The chapters are pretty short, so I often find myself clicking "next" automatically and then having to go back and leave a review.  :P

7) Has there been any glaring errors that have stuck out? (I'm not talking about the occasional missed period, typo or spelling/grammar errors but huge mistakes that need to be pointed out that the author might not be aware of) Nope!

8) Do you have any questions for the author in regard to the storyline, characters or plot? Not at this moment.

Readers survey (To be completed once the person reading your story is finished)

Story: Stockholm Syndrome

Person reading it: Tracy

1) When you found out this person was reading your story what were your initial thoughts?: I thought it might go either way because I wasn't really sure where her tastes lie but I was pretty certain she wasn't much of an AU person.

2) Did your reader leave you an adequate amount of feedback and was it helpful to you?: Yeah, she left feedback throughout. It was nice to just engage in conversation about the story and a couple points definitely left me thinking about how I could have done things differently.

3) Did you find yourself going back to read your story as a result of the feedback?: Nope

4) Do you have any questions for the person reading your story?: If this was your story, what's one thing you would have done differently?

5) Overall did you find the experience a good one or a bad one?: Good one, it was fun chatting about the story again!
