FST-related rant
Nov. 3rd, 2004 12:45 pm( Because I can't let myself rant about what you and I are all thinking about. )
So yes! The FST question. To be honest, I'm with Squit on this one (with the caveat that one-line comments don't bother me, as they allow me to track that particular FST's popularity relative to the others I made - sort of like lj comments on my fic), and also with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pornkings when she says "I'm actually more disconcerted by people who comment saying that they have downloaded a 'couple' of songs rather than by those who don't comment at all and yet take the entire mix." 'Disconcerted' is the mot juste for it; to me it's rather as if someone commented saying "Read the first and seventh paragraphs of your fic and enjoyed, thanks! :D" Er... you're welcome? o_O
( That being said... )
Now that I've ranted, a practical suggestion. I think we should put our downloading/commenting policy as a standard disclaimer in FST entries as a matter of course. It would cut down on the ambiguity, as there are obviously a range of opinions involved.
