A note on me and 'fav'ing'...

For those who do not know this about me already, I shall say it now.

I almost never comment when I favorite things. This is not meant to be difficult or to be insulting. I am well aware of how much of a push that doing so can be to one's muses.

However, I am one of those people whom do not like to say anything unless they have a specific comment in mind to make. I prefer to not give the generic "awesome story/picture/etc" comment on something that someone spent a significant amount of time on; that simply seems, to me, an insult to the effort placed into said work and the person themselves.

I am rather selective about the things I add to my favorites collections, so for me to add something to those collections is to say that I have found something in your work that I enjoyed. I will, on occasion, if something particularly catches my attention, make a comment on a piece, but it is not often.

I am not normally a person whom one would consider to be good with words. I am not simply adding things to my collections at random; I am simply showing my appreciation for those works that catch my attention. There you have it. Please do not think less of me for not commenting, I am simply doing as I was raised to do and showing another person's effort and work the respect it deserves, in my own way.

well then I thank you kindly for the fave on "Do You Want My Cookie?" and agree to all previous statements in this journal entry. I would like to think myself rather decent with words, but I refuse to place bland statements on someone's work as that draws little excitement and no real critique for the work and effort itself. I want real, constructive criticism for what I bring so that my next piece can be that much better, but 'hey that's cool' does not aid in that whatsoever. That being said, I am one to treat others as I like to be treated, so I do the same in return. I am rather picky on my favorites as well, so adding to my favorites does mean quite a bit.
