That's interesting, because I like the anonymity. I don't mind not knowing who reviewed my story, and while it wasn't a positive review, it was constructive criticism, and very helpful at that. In fact, I think that not knowing who it was allowed me to really focus on what was said as opposed to who was saying it.
I've also reviewed for the comm, and I think that being anonymous made me take more care in the review because I knew it was going to post under "the comm," if that makes sense. Again, the personal stuff got stripped away. But if the anonymity were removed and I was told I would now have to go stand behind what I said? I would, absolutely. I would never write a review that I couldn't honestly own up to, regardless of whether it was submitted anonymously or not.
back when the idiots on who_anon were labelling me an oppressor with all the Martha fic I was writing
Um, what? I don't follow who_anon. How can you oppress someone by writing Martha fic? Okay, well obviously you can't, but I don't understand why anyone would even complain about the characters someone else chooses to write. What was the problem?
