review review review

So, up to 97 reviews given! (Also, a nice 1919 total reviews right now.) No further PMs over them.

The category is slowly accruing my ire by favoriting my stories without leaving a review - I don't mind this as a general thing but it always bugs me when it's done on a story with no reviews. The category is generally rather review poor. I'm not totally sure what to make of it - if nothing else I'd expect more people running around reviewing in the hopes to get reviews by now.

There really seems to be a lack of that in general, which is really disappointing. Over in Pokemon, I can go back quite a few pages and still find plenty of stories without a single review, and plenty of others with only one. Neither is as low as Archive fic, but it's all pretty disappointing. (Although, with Pokemon, it may have to do with how the category's nigh unreadable - how many of you still use it?)'

Aspergas has replied but said nothing interesting. Also, apparently I'm blacklisted over reviewing in a way that doesn't seem to involve any actual blacklisting but does involve a fun dollop of stupidity.

And now on to Catching Fire.

My, what a tasteful forum signature.

I'm not really sure what it is with the fandom, LOL RAPE seems ridiculously common compared to...well, everywhere else. Even places that do LOL RAPE stuff don't do it nearly as often.

Aspergas guy got upset by me referencing the game telephone because he's BRITISH and the game is called Chinese whispers there, so I'm clearly culturally insensitive. But it was kind of nice to be seeing a different flavor of this instead of the rape thing.

I... have nothing to say about that sentence. I am just going to sit here staring at it. Like this: *_*
