Hit or Miss: Feedback Edition

Not technically a "hit or miss" poll, but whatevs, bear with me. This poll is about feedback.

This poll is prompted by something I just read on fanficrants that I personally see a lot - the "Please continue" or similar sentiment put as a review to a one-shot or complete story. I can see why it's a little annoying, especially when the fic is marked "complete" and there's nothing more to the review, but I don't necessarily think it's a rant-worthy complaint.

When I examine my own comment-leaving habits, I notice that lately I've been terrible at it. I read things without actually reading and if I leave a comment it's not actual feedback but usually something silly (i.e. "OMG LYLE!"). And the funny thing is, that's my least favorite type of feedback to receive. (Personally, though, my biggest pet peeve is text-speak, but I think that's mostly my background teaching English shining through). I blame RL, but it's still kind of shitty of me to do that.

So what are your feedback preferences? Do you tend to leave encouragement or concrit? Are you enthusiastic or mitigated in your responses? If you find a spelling error in the fic, do you leave that in the comments, email the author, or let it be? If someone leaves you a comment you don't like, what can you (or do you) do about it?

What about your reading-to-commenting ratio? Do you comment on everything you read, or do you just read and enjoy and move on? I know some people, like sarahetc, strive to comment on everything they read, which is admirable, but not always plausible.

As usual, dinner ice cream discussion after the poll, if you're up to it.

Oh why the hell not.
