You like the facial hair huh? >:D Lucky my Robporn folder is extensive!
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

But red hair is the best! You must have a great complexion to pull off blonde though, it doesn't suit many people. I can't imagine being asked what happened to your hair is a great compliment boost though :D
I have my blonde mother's coloring (skin/eyes) with my brunette dad's hair. I don't tan at all.  I actually look better blonde than brunette.  But my mom's mother was a redhead, so I have enough coloring to do the red.  My family just is a little conservative....except my 16 year old niece - she changes her hair color constantly.  It was pink not too long ago.  I am a little jealous though.  Back when I was 16, I so wanted to do the funky hair colors.  But Catholic schools didn't allow it.  *mumbles something about frigging stupid rules and ugly-ass uniforms*

Though at least they let me wear make-up so I didn't look too much like my brother LOL!!! :D :D :D :D :57:

Sooo, I have a question...

Do you review the stories you read?

I'm following several WIPs where I review each chapter. Some authors are great and even answer to each review (and not only with a generic thank you). I really love those talks! When a story has several hundrets or thousands of reviews, I don't bother reviewing and I don't review completed stories, because I read them on my kindle and just forget to look them up...

Do you expect answers to your reviews?
I don't always review every chapter in a story.  The real long ones that I'm reading as a WIP? Yeah I review.  I would rather have another chapter than a response.  But the authors that do respond? Yeah, we sometimes have really good conversations.  I actually tend to comment more on the author's notes than on the chapters  :D :D :D

Though when I read on my Kindle or Nook? I try to go back at the end & review.  Unless it is a really bad story.  Then I don't say anything.  But I always figure a review is payment for the story.  The author gets to feel appreciated out of it and I get low cost reading material - if you count my time to write the review as a cost.

I'm a bit like you. I never review carano fics.
If a fic is good and doesn't have many reviews I tend to review all or most chapters.
When that happens I kind of expect at least one answer from the author. It's not like she has thousands of reviews to answer.

For example, nolebucgirl always answers it. Even if she is getting thousands of views. So I tend to review her fics more. She is not big headed.

Andrew Garfield is a pretty geeky, skinny guy.  In the past, I've thought meh! about him.  But in Spiderman, when the boy really smiles....he is transformed into a beauty.

Ohhh - so that's who it was!

I didn't have a clue and felt stupid for needing to ask.   ^-^

Exactly. He is not memorable at all.
I would never look at him once.

You cowbag, I'm only on chapter 10. Now I almost don't want to read in case the ending is crap and ruins the whole fic for me. Damn you :D

What!! - why would you do that??

It's like picking a book up and reading the last page - not that I've picked a book up for a while!

Laurendeplume - your insults are hilarious!

I think it was categorized wrong.  I really liked the story and the writing, but

I would rather cuddle then have sex.  If you're good with grammar, you'll get it.

Cowbag! Lol! That's awesome.

I read some comments on ADF, so I had to read the end....

It's different with a book. I've been reading about Edward and Bella since 2009, I'm attached. I want heas. Edward must never ever cheat on Bella, Bella must never cheat on Edward.

It's different with those two.

Edit: I'm not saying there is cheating here. Just an example of hard limits for me in twi fic.
