And if you're capable of liking or disliking a story, you're capable of 
offering some C and C on it...if nothing else to say WHAT you liked.  
Most of us are NOT English majors here.  I haven't had an English class 
since 1988 (Freshman Comp.  I got a C.) and it doesn't stop me.  (Lack of 
TIME, is of course, another problem.  )

Now tell me the truth if 20 people just rip you up and down about your
writing, how would you feel?  If you can see this as a mere grain of salt
then you got more self control than me.  

Gee, 20 people biting the author's head off.  I can see it now posted in
the fanfic mailing list BEWARE OF THE DISGRUNTLED AUTHOR. 
He or she may write you in their fic and experience unspeakable horrors.
For example watch Iczer 1 over and over again...


Anyway just opinion.
