Question for both writers and non-writers

[pez]

If you are the writer: How do you feel about people mentioning other people's fic in their comment to you, such as "I liked him since I read [fic by other writer] and in your story, [positive or negative comment]."

If you are making a comment: Do you mention works by other writers in your comment? Why, or why not?

I'll probably tell you my opinion on this, later.

Hmm.. I never compared or mention any writers in any comments since I think every writer has their own style and I dont know (my own opinion for myself^^) I think its quite rude to do that. If I dont like the character in A writer I just stop reading it.. full stop ^__^
