Sorry sorry for this horribly late reply, but I have been so busy these last months to properly catch up on LJ!

I think it depends on what the writer wants; you know I love long feedback and people dissecting my stories, but I know not everybody can be comfortable doing that or simply they aren't forced to do so. So I agree with stefanyeah there, any kind of comment is welcomed, because it allows you to know people have read and enjoyed (or not) your story. My teacher of Universal Literature once defined literature as "something written that is shared with a public"; so, a story is a story when someone reads it, that's why I consider the interaction between author/reader so important.

And I'll never be able to thank you enough for all your lovely comments and encouragement, honestly Tamar, I'm speaking from my heart.
