The thing about constructive criticism on the kinkmeme is that it's less than helpful, usually. The story is already out there. I just posted a piece less than half an hour ago and I've already spotted three things in it I would like to change. But I can't. (I did post a correction to the one that could be more confusing for the reader, but it's not like that helps all that much.)
I have occasionally sent corrective criticism to other authors on AO3, when I just can't help myself. It's like you're talking with someone who's immaculately dressed, everything just perfect--but his or her tag is showing. Other people may have more self control, but I just cannot stop myself from pointing out this tiny fixable flaw in an otherwise beautiful piece.
As an author? I love me any comments whatsoever (probably because I've never been trashed in the comments).
