Fair enough:) I will say that when I posted these in (admittedly smaller venues), not only did they not spawn any negativity (or wanking, which I was really worried about), but they actually seemed to prompt readers to try stories that they wouldn't have before (since the aspects that didn't work for me worked for them). Of course, I'm focusing on the positives, but I'll also be doing everything in my power to keep the comm civil (including a zero tolerance policy for flames/trolls/wank/etc.) If it doesn't work, it doesn't work and we shut the place down, but I'm hopeful that it will work out well.

Thanks for commenting!

Hm... I personal take on these rants is that they are not really criticisms, but more like 'this is a good story, I'll tell you why it didn't work for me, but hey, it might work for you'. Frankly, I wouldn't even bother writing a public review for a BAD story that I didn't like at all.

I've read a lot of Jane's rants before and ended up liking most of the stories she didn't. She and I just have very different tastes, and I think the same can be said for the rest of the fandom. One of the reasons why I pushed Jane to start this comm is that it would be a shame not to 'review' some of the greatest stories in fandom just because of personal quirks/kinks.
