Sorry about the rant and on most days I'm pretty unconcerned with group dynamics. They are what they are and they work however they work. Most of my frustration that day came from my internet going down, so me really crabby. You've made some really valid points, both concerning LJland and ficwriters and readers. Thanks for the perspective.
whine that good reviewing is hard. Because repetitiveness is built in and it's so hard to avoid; it's difficult to come up with different ways to express appreciation and to describe the effect of good writing, especially when one reviews the same authors and the same genre so frequently.
Absolutly understand and agree! I'm also pretty late with my own feedbacking so, no right to complain about my own lack. :)
The friend thing got me a little because unless I'm familiar with the person in some capacity I prefer to visit someone's LJ for a few days before I friend.
Despite my wacky mood and the small stuff, I am really enjoying the LJ community. It's neat, compact and way too convenient.
Thanks for the words of wisdom and for commenting.
