@Sapphi: I think it's fine to have negative responses to negative responses to stories ad infinitum, but I think that detracts from the discussion of the stories which is what I thought the feedback was supposed to be about. When people are arguing over each others criticisms they generally drift away from talking about the stories and towards talking about each others tastes and presentations and behaviors. If we're all here to argue over each others tastes there was no need to make the authors write stories as you could have just grabbed some random stories off fanfiction.net or livejournal and had people criticize and meta criticize those. Heck once this is done why don't you have a criticism contest. Pick a story or show or movie or something and have people submit criticisms of it and then we can vote on who had the best criticism, and then we'll end up squabbling over each others criticisms of the criticisms. Rinse and repeat for infinite fun!
