Seems to me anyone who makes this big a deal out of welcoming concrit is really looking for cookies (and extra feedback, because let's face it, most people in fandom won't crit even when they're specifically asked to).

I know you've long welcomed concrit on your fics, and I suspect you personally may not be looking for feedback as much as you want to encourage readers to be honest and open about expressing their opinions. But do you think there's anything objectionable about straight-out asking for feedback, or extra feedback? Feedback is the whole reason I post on LJ instead of scribbling in a locked diary: it's a way to socialize and share interests, and when posting fics, it's also a way to gain some outside perspective as to your writing. That's why, when talking about LJ friends to non-fandom friends, I refer to the former as my "online writers' group."
