I miss Ethereality, but I'm like you guys. This board is a lot more active. I'm probably one of those people Mel was talking about. I was reading their stories, but I'm horrible about leaving feedback. I've got to get better about that. I guess my thing is if it is really good I have a hard time trying to figure what to write other than "great story". I really do miss the convos over there too. You girls were the ones that convinced me to write My Immortal, and even though I'm slow on updating I love writing it. So, thanks.

It helped not having the internet at home. :D At home, I wrote my own stories. At the library, I read. :)

I'm one of the people who thinks "great story" is better than nothing - at least I know you're reading and enjoying it. But if you wanna say more than that (which is nice, trust me!!), try and think about what specifically you liked about it. Was it the storyline? The characters? The suspense? Or if you're just reviewing a chapter, what was your favorite part of the chapter and why? What moments stood out? What do you want to see happen next? All of that kind of stuff is very helpful to hear from the writer's standpoint. :)

I agree. *nod*
It's also good to point out if anything confused you.

Those were some great suggestions that Julie had for what to write in a review other than "Great job!" So many readers tell me that they'd love to say something more, but they just aren't sure how to go about it. Telling why you liked something or recountin your favorite part is definitely a step in the right direction and trust me the writers will definitely appreciate it!
