Y'know, there's nothing like feedback to make me smile.

I've never really been a feedbacker. Before February of this year I think I've sent maybe three pieces of feedback to an online author in my life. Two of those got no response and for the other the author sent me a lovely thank you.

However, since starting to post in the SG-1 fandom and receiving so much useful, constructive and just plain nice feedback, when I've read a story I liked I've tried to send at least "hey, I read it, I liked it," to the author or make a comment on their lj.

My point? (and I do have one) is I sent a little "liked your story" email the other day for a sotry I read on SamandJack and I opened my email today and the author had taken the time to send a "thanks for reading" note that made me smile, made me feel good about taking two minutes to send feedback.

In retrospect, I don't know that I have a point. I just guess that I wanted to share that I feel good today because I sent feedback.

(And this is in no way a plea for feedback. Just wanted to say I like when people reply to feedback.)

It's always great to receive feedback so it's a matter of showing your appreciation for it.

Exactly. I love feedback.
